RLC-1212A black playback screen

Post by jay23 »

Hi,
i have an RLC-1212A and a RLC-1224A with ZM 1.36.33 on Debian.
The h265 Stream records fine. The live view works. But if i want to playback a Record, the Screen remains black.
Any Hints?

Your browser, like most, does not like h.265. Test with h.264 and see if it works.

The main Stream has no 264.
And: Why does the Previev/Live works? Is that not 265 too?

hmmm.
Maybe this is related - viewtopic.php?t=31214

But probably means you'd need to get 1.37

Already found that (and posted there).

I would, if it really helps...

Is there any Windows Browser that plays 265?

As in you can't drag the progress bar? Or it's not there?

Nope. Same behavior.

It begins to Play, if i want to scroll, the Progressbar jumps to the Point and the Progress shows the right Time, but the picture almost freezes at the Startingpoint.
In Fact it plays with about 1/10 Rate.
When it reaches the time showed in the Progess, it plays at 1/1 Rate.
If i then jump backwards, it jumps there (i think).

OK, so sluggish, to be charitable?
This is with hevc only? Or do you even have some h264 cams to know?

264 works fine in auto Mode (mp4). If i switch to mjpeg its the same as with 265.
