Ubuntu won't stream events

Post by LisaNels »

I've tried all kinds of things to get ffmpeg to stream events to my web browser, but nothing works. Using mp4 mode, at least the browser seems to like it, but I get no images.

Has anyone got a working linux stream for this? If so, could you post the settings you are using?

Thanks!
V1.30.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 :cry:

Please tell us something about your camera and the settings you used in Zoneminder.

The camera's are IP-2250 (I think...) HD POE cameras, and they work great. Nice clear images in events etc..
But they work great, Zoneminder works wonderful, and we even donated when asked because it is a very good system.
We use it in jpeg mode where when we view cameras or events, a bunch of jpeg images are sent to the web browser.
What I've tried to make work is the other mode where zoneminder sends a streamed mpeg4 video to the web browser.
I've also tried/failed to export video from the system at all in some of the other screens such as where you can download the images from an event.
