ffmpeg v. 0.10 installed by source

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure why you are running an obsolete version of CentOS, but I don't believe that is causing the issue.
I would not expect Zoneminder 1.25 to work with such an old version of ffmpeg.

Try this version of ffmpeg as it is known to work:

Code: Select all

[abauer@bauerhaus ~]$ rpm -qa |grep ffmpeg
ffmpeg-libpostproc-0.6.5-1.el6.rf.x86_64
ffmpeg-0.6.5-1.el6.rf.x86_64

Easiest thing to do would be to add the rpmforge repositories and just do a yum install, but you can also get the source via git if you prefer to compile it yourself.

Old version of ffmpeg?? Donwloaded on Mar 30 2012 from git!

Code: Select all

# ffmpeg -V
ffmpeg version 0.10.2.git Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the FFmpeg developers

Oh, got it. I missed the trailing zero on the version you reported.

The problem is essentially the same however... you are using a version of ffmpeg that doesn't play nicely with Zoneminder 1.25. This is a common problem largely due to the dynamic nature of ffmpeg. The developers like to make significant changes to their code at a moment's notice... makes it difficult to compile third party software that depends on it.

Try using git to retrieve the version of ffmpeg I mentioned earlier as it is known to work. Or you could just yum install the copy sitting the rpmforge repository.
