I have resisted posting for help in the hope f a solution via the forums/google/brute force/trial and error but to no avail...
I have a single camera set up as a test rig to check the suitability of zm as a home brew system. That camera streams via rtsp.
I had put ZM on the back burner as a work in progress, working on other projects until 16.04.02 was released. until then I had found patchy success, but once I nailed the cgi paths no issues streaming via browser or on iPhone with zmNinja. One issue I did have was around permissions creating events, due to sym links on an external drive.
On installing 16.04.02 I re-addressed the structure of the external drive changing file systems and solving that problem. No other changes made. Lo and behold as soon as I set events/images/sounds from the local drive to external then streaming broke. That said zmNinja still works.
I have reviewed the obvious logs and find the following error whenever I try and stream
Code: Select all
Socket does not exist. This file is created by zms, and since it does not exist, either zms did not run, or zms exited early. Please check your zms logs and ensure that CGI is enabled in apache and check that the PATH_ZMS is set correctly. Make sure that ZM is actually recording. If you are trying to view a live stream and the capture process (zmc) is not running then zms will exit.

Is anyone able to offer any pointers to what to try next, or if I can provide any further information.
Many thanks in anticipation.
