added 2nd camera and it only works if i disable the 1st camera

[RippieUK]

Hi all,

Not entirely sure what is going on, just added a second camera and it did not work to start with. So i tested with VLC player against stream rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.45:554/11 and it worked. then i tried

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.45:554/11 output.mp4

and that worked as well.
Then i thought lets try

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl stop zoneminder

followed by

sudo systemctl start zoneminder

To my surprise the 2nd camera worked but then the first camera had stopped capturing.

Then tried to disable the 2nd camera and then the 1st camera started to work.

I did look in the log file and saw these:

I had the same errors for the 1st camera when that did not work.

I am not that good with linux and new to ZM so please bear with me as i stumble around
