1.30.3 and Web page feeds

[stevewrightnz1]

Hi guy's

Just successfully upgraded to 1.30.3 but have lost my camera live feeds that displayed on my web pages. An image embedded on my web page with :-

Code: Select all

 
<img src="https://example.com/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=100&maxfps=25&buffer=1000&user=******&pass=***********" alt="Front Door">

used to work really well with 1.30.2.

Any ideas where they may have gone?

A bit more investigation.....
I have a zoneminder user "user" with a password of "password" and the following permissions specifically for viewing the camera streams:-

Username Language Enabled Stream Events Control Monitors Groups System Bandwidth
user en_us Yes View None None None None None High

This used to work fine for viewing the stream

The zm log now gives the following error when I view my web page:-

2017-05-03 19:55:09.077671 zms 7258 ERR Unable to authenticate user zms.cpp 225

There are 4 cameras and the log produces 40 entries when logging in from my home network so I'm guessing 10 attempts for each camera on the page?
When I log in from my phone I only get 8 so 2 per camera?

There are 4 of these statements for monitors 1-4:-

Code: Select all

 
<img src="https://example.com/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=100&maxfps=25&buffer=1000&user=user&pass=password" alt="Front Door">

NB: I can log in manually to ZoneMinder using the web-page credentials just fine.

Any ideas what I need to change to allow the user user to authenticate properly from the web?

Working on a fix for the API issue on 16.04. Testing an install now. See the WIKI for the fix to 14.04 with ZM 1.30.3

Fix after
all update
apt install php-apcu-bc cakephp

reload zoneminder apache2

[stevewrightnz1]

Is that worth trying to solve my issue???

install php-apcu and activate the module in PHP then restart Apache. This should bring the API into working condition. For embedding a stream into a web page using the method:

Code: Select all

<img src="https://example.com/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=100&maxfps=25&buffer=1000&user=******&pass=***********" alt="Front Door">

you can try to change Option->System->AUTH_RELAY to "none" and make the url like :

Code: Select all

<img src="https://example.com/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=100&maxfps=25&buffer=1000&user=****** alt="Front Door">

and see if that will work.

Hi Bill,

My system with Ubuntu 14.04 also broke the capacity of watching live feeds in both zone view and monitor view. I tried everything I have read, but I could not find the wiki page you referred to. Could you post the link, please?

Regards & thanks,

@rockedge

Second option worked thanks. The cameras are behind a hashed htaccess so AUTH_RELAY = none is probably OK for now.

Hi rockedge,

Followed the instructions and still not working. Will take a look to the logs and check what's really happenning.

EDITED: Fixed changing AUTH_RELAY from plain to none. Thanks a lot!

Hi guys
1.30.4 seems to have solved my issue. AUTH_RELAY = hashed is now working for me.
