Right - the file mode makes it easy to loop.
I haven't tried that exact ffmpeg command but you can always store the file in a readable directory and ZM will read and display it. Give it a try with a single image first and then write a script to change it and loop . It should work.

Zoneminder has a "file" mode as camera source which does exactly this. You can point it to a JPEG somewhere and that becomes the feed. You keep changing the JPEG as often as you need and it becomes a video.

ok fair enough

Oh wait, MJN I re-read your post. You really are on 1.29, not a hacked version of 1.28 + API attempt. I think it was someone else who emailed me with that problem. I think in your case its a simple matter of not pulling in the API directories when you followed that link. I don't think the link you f...

okay, I feel for you folks- I have no idea what plans the debian maintainer has for 1.29. If one of you can give me a 1.28 install that is working with one camera on debian, I'll get the APIs working completely on it. I need ssh access as root. If any debian user is upto it, please email me access d...

With respect to the roll your own package instructions, I have an open PR that is yet to be merged. But if you already have 1.29 you shouldn't need it. https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder/pull/1248 (see ubuntu.rst inside that PR). I'm really not sure if it will work out of the box for debian - ...

You already have 1.29 installed? What happens when you go to /zm/api ? Lets start from there

Have you read https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinde ... ME.Centos7 ?
I think it should address all your issues. This readme should have also been copied to your local install with a note to read it or ZM won't work.

oh correct, sorry, it was 1.28.109.

As far as I know, that is not possible today. The EventsController returns events sorted in ascending order. Having said that, CakePHP offers many ways to filter and if you figure out a syntax that works (take a look at http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html) let me know. What I do ...

I know zmView folks updated their code to work with 1.29 - there was a post here a few weeks ago, so you may need to update zmView

Yes, it has changed

BTW, have you tried zmNinja?

so the problem is resolved (, I hope). We don't know _exactly_ how or why, but it works now.

What's confusing me is why you are getting a /zm/api not found error if you turn on auth. It should at worst, return a 404 Not authenticated. In your case it seems like htaccess stops working if you enable OPT_USE_AUTH which I can't seem to correlate. Would you mind trying from a different browser? ...

I'm a little stumped. Any chance I can get access to your instance? If so, please shoot me an email at pliablepixels at gmail
