Monitor does not work after upgrade from 1.30.0

Post by chandi13 »

Hi everyone,

I've upgraded from 1.30.0 to 1.32.3 and everything works except my camera.
That's what I get in the logs:

Jan 7 15:16:40 framboise zmdc[700]: INF [Starting pending process, zmc -m 2]
Jan 7 15:16:40 framboise zmdc[700]: INF ['zmc -m 2' starting at 19/01/07 15:16:40, pid = 1454]
Jan 7 15:16:40 framboise zmdc[1454]: INF ['zmc -m 2' started at 19/01/07 15:16:40]

Jan 7 15:16:49 framboise zmwatch[785]: INF [Restarting capture daemon for 720p1.1, no image since startup. Startup time was 1546892200 - now 1546892209 > 5]
Jan 7 15:16:49 framboise zmdc[700]: INF ['zmc -m 2' sending stop to pid 1454 at 19/01/07 15:16:49]
Jan 7 15:16:49 framboise zmc_m2[1454]: INF [zmc_m2] [Got signal 15 (Terminated), exiting]
Jan 7 15:16:49 framboise zmdc[700]: INF ['zmc -m 2' exited normally]

It used to work fine in 1.30.2.

When upgrading, since my DB was very recent, I did start the database from scratch.

The camera's configs were fetched using Onvif and they are: rtsp://admin:blah@192.168.1.160:554/stream1 (which works in VLC)

And I had to build the 1.32.3 package by myself since I could not find one for raspberrypi.

I see no memory is taken in my tmpfs : tmpfs 489M 0 489M 0% /dev/shm


Any clue on where to look?

Regards!

I now also see this message: 2019-01-07 15:28:46 zmc_m2 2367 ERR Unable to open codec for video stream from rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.160:554/stream1 zm_ffmpeg_camera.cpp 528

I'm going to look for it.

There is a post about ZM on a Pi running Ubuntu. The default for ZM is to use x.264 video and the pi can't do that. Switch to jpgs and it should work.

For the Pi there is no advantage to running ZM 1.32.3. My advice is to stick with Debian Stretch and ZM 1.30.4.

Thanks bbunge,

Actually, with h265, I could see the live stream but not the events. With your trick, I can now see the events as well.

But still nothing works for h264.

Anyways, I'll probably downgrade to 1.30.

I wanted to jump to 1.32 to have access to the newer API login options. I see it's not really worth it ;-)

Regards!
