This is my first time installing zoneminder, just downloaded the latest version and trying it on my slackware box. I tested the card I ordered with xawtv and was able to see video just fine.
Zoneminder seems to start fine but I can't get it to stream video.

That's what I get when I try to view. I'm not sure if there is a log file I can check to see if there is an error.
Won't stream video
Thanks for the reply.
I messed around with that system at lunch and found that the error log line was missing from the httpd.conf file. I set it up with one and the only error it displays when I try to access the camera is this.

Of course I replaced my actual url with <mysite>.
I changed the permissions on that tmp folder and noticed that zm can create a log file there but there's never any zms-whatever.sock file created.
Also I just changed the premissions on the cambozola.jar file and still no luck.

Had a little more time today to play with this, found this error.
Also just tried FFMPEG and it recorded the video from my camera with no problem.

I watched the tmp directory and a zms-*w.socks file is created but goes away after a second.
Has anyone solved this yet?

Not sure if zms is working but I do the path in zoneminder is pointed to that directory and also i set up a script alias for that directory in Apache's conf file. I wrote a hello world perl script to make sure it was parsing and worked fine in that directory.
Is there a way to test zms to see if it's working or make it spit out a more specific error?

The images are generated by cgi-bin files thats why I ask. Also the fact they you have a fps reading means it is capturing video.
I don't believe mine is, when I open firefox and goto http://(myipaddress)/zm/cgi-bin/zms
It tries to download the file.

Not sure if that means anything.
I am only guessing because I'm not that familiar with the code but...
It looks to be failing in the LocalCamera::PrimeCapture function and it appears that one of things it sets in this is the format. Try changing the device format. If its currently set to PAL try NTSC and vice versa. If it still doesn't work try all the other formats as well.

I tried that, only the ntsc ones work, the rest of them make the monitor's source link go red.Paranoid wrote:I am only guessing because I'm not that familiar with the code but...

Zoneminder is recording video using NTSC it's just not streaming it.

If its recording then the problem might be with your browser. Have you tried a different browser? If you are using IE have you enabled (and downloaded) java?
