Post by david1234 »

Hello ,
after a long time of problems and a lot of help with people this is the system I have

using pi3 B v1.3
version is v1.34.10.
the image that is running on the pi is :

when I see live video - all work without any problems , smooth
when there is movment , he save an event .
but when I try to watch the video - the video is not playing\palying slow\jump to end
so I thought maybe the problem is in the chrome player
try to watch it in explorer - same problem

I have download it to my computer as AVI\MPEG - get the same resualt, video is not playing\palying slow\jump to end.

when I look at the size it's about 3MB length of the movie is 20 seconds
so he is doing something ...

I ahve notice now that if I wantch live video and the alarm goes on (motion detection ) - the live video get stuck and freeze until the alarm go off.

when I look at the logs I don't see any ERR in the times of the events (or al all - which is good,no ? :-) )

this is the image that should work from zonminder website

what could be the problem ?

Thanks ,

Please don't make multiple threads for the same issue.
fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl
