Raspbian 10 (Debian)
Zoneminder 1.32.3

I can see live stream fine but when I want to watch a video saved by an event, ZM only shows a still picture. In the log do I get this:
Socket /var/run/zm/zms-349156s.sock does not exist.

In the folder /var/run/zm do I have a file with the name: zms-349156.lock

It seems there is a mismatch between what ZM expects the file to be named, and the actual name.

Thanks for any help!

Are the videos saving to the HDD/SD? You should see a <something>.mp4 file somewhere, or jpegs, if you are saving as jpeg. Make sure default settings are not set to H264 encode. You should be using passthrough or JPEGs for 1.32 on ARM.

Do you know for certain that the camera is supported in ZM? Does it work with VLC? RPI also has issues with high resolutions and high frame rates, so start with low numbers and work your way up.

Thanks for your suggestions, they led me to fix the problem. I have two DLink 932L connected to Zoneminder since maybe two years, working just fine up until recently. They are configured according to the wiki with Source Type: Remote. This does not seem to work any longer, I changed to ffmpeg, and that works.
