Hi,

i can´t playback my events after a fresh ZM 1.32.3 installation with x264 passthrough.
ZMninja got a reset and new setup with the wizard.
All other things works fine.

I got no thumbs in event list. By trying playing an event i got error message "Video not playable"
But Event Montage works as expected :shock:

Any ideas?

1. Please post or email logs
2. Are the videos playable if you use Chrome on the mobile browser (not desktop)?

(Event Montage only plays non mp4 events)

Yes, events play on chrome (android)

Which logs do you mean? ZM orr ZMninja?

I´ve take a look at the zmNinja Logs.

There was a permission problem. On ZM login i use user "admin". For zmNinja i´ve created some user accounts.
After set user permission for "System" from "None" to "View" it works except h265 Streams. That could be a Chrome or Webview thing. I got a "format is not supported" message in chrome.

Thanks for help.

Same "Video not playable" issue here. No such issue when running ZM 1.30.4.

Zoneminder 1.32.3

Phone is running Android 7.0 (last patch date April 1, 2018): it's an unlocked phone (basic kernel).

Basic/relevant log info (reversed log output listing to make a top-down sequential read):
DEBUG Player is ready
DEBUG *** Invoking play
DEBUG neighbors of 112are pre=111 next=
INFO >>>Starting checkAllEvents interval...
DEBUG player reported a video error:{"isTrusted":true}
INTERESTINGLY, I do NOT have this issue on my wife's phone, which is running Android 8.1.0 (last patch date Oct 1, 2018).

No issues running 1.32.3 under Firefox (Linux mint) on three different laptops (one even running Windows 10). BUT, via Firefox on my phone I get the error "The video was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the video used features your browser did not support."

Looks like and Android version issue?

I wish that I'd stayed with 1.30.4. I only went for the upgrade after toasting my server.

Check to see if there was any different behavior on my phone with Chrome- there is not.

For whatever it's worth, I have uninstalled and reinstalled ZMninja Pro on my phone and that produced no change (still logging: "DEBUG player reported a video error:{"isTrusted":true}).
