Can't stream mpeg with Firefox

Post by DALDON »

Dear all! Please help me. I use search, google etc without any success.

My problem is about configure WEB_H_STREAM_METHOD. So, I have installed ZoneMinder 1.30, from https://launchpad.net/~iconnor/+archive ... ter=xenial by use this doc (ubuntu 16.04): https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... Zoneminder

It works!

I have configured:
  • PATH_ZMS to: /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms
    WEB_H_STREAM_METHOD to: mpeg
    WEB_H_VIDEO_BITRATE to: 75
    WEB_H_VIDEO_MAXFPS to: 10
    MPEG_LIVE_FORMAT to: avi
    Enable FFMPEG (I can export events to avi)
    Set: ScriptAlias /zm/cgi-bin "/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin" in apache zoneminder.conf
    Disable default-000.conf in apache
    Install Firefox 45.1.1
    Install VLC player v2.2.1 + Firefox VLC Web Plugin

So, after that I can open VLC player, insert link like this: http://zm/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=mpeg& ... key=478821 and it works! Furthermore if I open URL, by web browser - it works too, by vlc plugin too!

If I open a camera by zm monitor I nothing to view... You can see pic: Image

When I open stream by URL, there is no any error in apacle.log but if I open monitor by zm I see the following error message:

Code: Select all

[Tue Aug 02 12:15:35.711280 2016] [:error] [pid 9522] [client 192.168.xx.xx:52184] ERR [socket_sendto( /var/run/zm/zms-317080s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory], referer: http://192.168.xx.xx/zm/index.php?view=watch&mid=1
And there is no socket under the dir /var/run/zm/. But I see the socket file if I open stream in vlc with URL!

If I open a stream by zm montor I see the following HTML code, it looks like this:

Code: Select all

              name="Monitor-1"
              width="800"
              height="600"
              autostart="1"
              showcontrols="0">
              </embed>
              </object>      </div>
