Can't get RTSP working in v1.24.2

[Mad Professor]

As per the title I am having grate problems getting RTSP working within zoneminder v1.24.2.

My Current ZoneMinder Server.
Tyan Thunder K8SD Pro S2882-D Motherboard.
2x Dual Core AMD Opteron 275 Processor (2.2Ghz).
4x 2GB DDR400 ECC Memory (8GB).
1x Seagate 500GB. (OS Drive).
1x WDC Green 1.5TB. (Spare).
2x WDC Green 2.0TB. (Raid-1, Zoneminder Events).
1x 4 Port Single Chip BT878.
Running Ubuntu 11.04 x64 Server, Zoneminder v1.24.2.

/etc/sysctl.conf

Code: Select all

# Shared Memory For Zoneminder
kernel.shmmax = 4162813952
kernel.shmall = 2032624

I did put a post in the Hardware Queries but not had any replies.
Here is that post: Xvision X100V MegaPixel Indoor/Outdoor IP Camera

Right down to the problem.

I have entered the following into zoneminder, but get no video stream from the ip camera.

Source
Remote Protocol: RTSP
Remote Method: RTP/RTSP/HTTP
Remote Host Name: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Remote Host Port: 554
Remote Host Path: /media/media.amp?videocodec=jpeg&resolution=640x480&audio=0
Remote Image Colours: 24 bit colour
Capture Width (pixels): 640
Capture Height (pixels): 480
Preserve Aspect Ratio: Unticked
Orientation: Normal

Within zoneminder the Source turns Orange, if you refresh the page it then turns Red.

Reading the X100V RTSP manual

Code: Select all

New RTSP URL format

H264
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=640x480&audio=0

MPEG4
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/media/media.amp?videocodec=mpeg4&resolution=640x480&audio=0

MJPEG
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/media/media.amp?videocodec=jpeg&resolution=640x480&audio=0

Old RTSP URL format

H264
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/h264/media.amp?resolution=640x480
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/h264/1/media.amp?resolution=640x480

MPEG4
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/mpeg4/media.amp

rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/mpeg4/1/media.amp
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/mpeg4/1/media.amp?resolution=640x480

MJPEG
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/mjpg/video.mjpg?resolution=640x480
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/mjpg/1/video.mjpg?resolution=640x480

3GPP
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/mpeg4/media.3gp

All of the above rtsp work within VLC media player, but not ZoneMinder.

Looking at the logs of the IP camera it's self, show the remote rtsp feed request and that the camera starts sending the video stream.

What logs do I have to look at on the zoneminder server?

Xvision does have two live demo camera's that can be viewed here: http://www.ipcctv.com/article.php?xArt=14

Can someone please advice what I should do to try and get this working.

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards.

Has anyone here had any ideas on how to get this working?

[Mad Professor]

I have contacted Xvision & Y3K, with regarding getting RTSP working within zoneminder.

I got an e-mail back from Y3K today saying that they had setup a Debian server with zoneminder, and get the same results as me.

I have even installed the beta of bluecherry on my server, and that also works fine with my camera over RTSP.

But I am still unable to get RTSP feed working within zoneminder.

Someone here must be able to advice me where I can go from here.

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards.
