Video Export Generation Failed! (v1.24.2)

Hi all,

As ZoneMinder seems to be a great piece of free and Open Source software, I'm very intersting for using it in order to survey my shop.

Here is my configuration:
- EEEbox + Xubuntu 9.04
- Two D-Link DCS 910 (they work with software named motion)
- ZoneMinder v1.23.3 installed thanks to Synaptic package manager

I've set up following settings in /etc/sysctl.conf file:
- kernel.shmall=134217728
- kernel.shmmax=134217728
(and reboot).

Here is the configuration of one of my webcams:


	Code: -GENERAL --NAME: CAM-CAISSE -- Source Type: Remote -- Function: Monitor -- Enabled: checked -- Max FPS: 15.00 -- Reference Image Blend: 7 -SOURCE -- Remote Host Name: 192.168.1.20 (authentication is disabled) -- Remote Host Port: 80 -- Remote Host Path: /VIDEO.CGI? -- Remote Image Colours: 24bits -- Capture Width: 640 -- Capture Height: 480 -- Preserver Aspect Ration: not checked -- Orientation: Normal

All other settings are set up to default values.

Here an extract of the logs:


	Code: Jul 26 14:29:54 cam-server zmpkg[22880]: INF [Command: start] Jul 26 14:29:55 cam-server zmdc[22893]: INF [Server starting at 09/07/26 14:29:55] Jul 26 14:29:58 cam-server zmdc[22893]: INF ['zmc -m 3' starting at 09/07/26 14:29:58, pid = 22915] Jul 26 14:29:58 cam-server zmdc[22915]: INF ['zmc -m 3' started at 09/07/26 14:29:58] Jul 26 14:29:58 cam-server zmc_m3[22915]: INF [Debug Level = 0, Debug Log = <none>] Jul 26 14:29:58 cam-server zmc_m3[22915]: INF [Starting Capture] Jul 26 14:29:59 cam-server zmdc[22893]: INF ['zmfilter.pl' starting at 09/07/26 14:29:59, pid = 22917] Jul 26 14:29:59 cam-server zmdc[22917]: INF ['zmfilter.pl' started at 09/07/26 14:29:59] Jul 26 14:29:59 cam-server zmdc[22893]: INF ['zmaudit.pl -c' starting at 09/07/26 14:29:59, pid = 22919] Jul 26 14:29:59 cam-server zmdc[22919]: INF ['zmaudit.pl -c' started at 09/07/26 14:29:59] Jul 26 14:30:00 cam-server zmfilter[22917]: INF [Scanning for events] Jul 26 14:30:00 cam-server zmdc[22893]: INF ['zmwatch.pl' starting at 09/07/26 14:30:00, pid = 22921] Jul 26 14:30:00 cam-server zmdc[22921]: INF ['zmwatch.pl' started at 09/07/26 14:30:00] Jul 26 14:30:01 cam-server zmwatch[22921]: INF [Watchdog starting] Jul 26 14:30:01 cam-server zmwatch[22921]: INF [Watchdog pausing for 30 seconds] Jul 26 14:30:01 cam-server zmdc[22893]: INF ['zmupdate.pl -c' starting at 09/07/26 14:30:01, pid = 22923] Jul 26 14:30:01 cam-server zmdc[22923]: INF ['zmupdate.pl -c' started at 09/07/26 14:30:01] Jul 26 14:30:36 cam-server zms[23115]: INF [Debug Level = 0, Debug Log = <none>]

I see no error in the log but when I try to visualize camera video output I only see a black screen!! I've tried with IE, Firefox and Opera... same problem!

Any advise would be very appreciated. Thanks

Marcus.

EDIT: Could a moderator move this thread in the right forum please ?

Hi again,

I've decided to try ZoneMinder version 1.24.2 from sources. I've removed ZoneMinder package thanks to Synaptic and successfully installed ZoneMinder v1.24.2 from sources.

My webcams are well detected, as a prove here an extact of the TCP stream captured with Wireshark:


	Code: GET /VIDEO.CGI? HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: ZoneMinder/1.24.2 Host: 192.168.1.20 Connection: Keep-Alive HTTP/1.0 200 OK Server: Camera Web Server/1.0 Auther: Steven Wu MIME-version: 1.0 Cache-Control: no-cache Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=--video boundary-- --video boundary--Content-length: 34804 Content-type: image/jpeg ................................................... ..W.......!1.AQa."2.q...#BRb...3r..$CS..4.........% &'(5678DEFGHTUVWXcdefghstuvwx...................... .................................................... ..............................W....!..1A."Qa.2q..#B3R [........very long raw data]

I've set up them in Modect mode. Events are well generated and I can extract them as jpeg but all video extract fail saying Video generation failed.

How can I fiw this problem ? What should I check ? What am I doing wrong ? Thanks in avdance for you help.

Marcus.

Hi one more time,

I've found why I could not see video camera output: that was a CGI directive missing in the virtualhost set up in Apache configuration. I discovered it by checking error.log file of Apache.

Here the configuration I use:


	Code: ServerName cam-recoder <VirtualHost> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/zm <Directory> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory> php_flag register_globals off Options Indexes FollowSymLinks <IfModule> DirectoryIndex index.php </IfModule> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/ <Directory> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined </VirtualHost>

Now I can see my to webcam streams :lol:

Note that I use JPEG mode. For unknown reason (to me :shock:

) MPEG mode doesn't work.

Last problem: video export generation.

--> Here error.log extract:


	Code: [Sun Jul 26 19:33:17 2009] [error] [client 127.0.1.1] Video Generation Failed, referer: http://cam-server/index.php?view=video&eid=35&generated=0 [Sun Jul 26 19:33:17 2009] [error] [client 127.0.1.1] array (\n 0 => \n array (\n 'file' => '/var/www/zm/ajax/event.php',\n 'line' => 35,\n 'function' => 'ajaxError',\n 'args' => \n array (\n 0 => 'Video Generation Failed',\n ),\n ),\n 1 => \n array (\n 'file' => '/var/www/zm/index.php',\n 'line' => 116,\n 'args' => \n array (\n 0 => '/var/www/zm/ajax/event.php',\n ),\n 'function' => 'require_once',\n ),\n), referer: http://cam-server/index.php?view=video&eid=35&generated=0

--> extract of zm-video.log:

Have you an idea how I could fix this problem ? Thanks !!

Marcus.

You can use mjpeg with remote host path /MJPEG.CGI, if you uncheck ZM_NETCAM_REGEXPS under Options/Network

Some where it seems that your defined output container is not properly defined. check and make sure your options in ZoneMinder are set correctly in FFMPEG_FORMATS and that you are selecting a format. Otherwise you will need to trace down why it's putting in 0x0000.

I get this same error no matter what output format I select for video generation. I am running 1.24.2 and FFMPEG_FORMATS is set to the installation default: mpg mpeg wmv asf avi* mov swf 3gp**

I have tried ffmpeg SVN-r19480 and r20006. Am I missing something?

I posted my full ffmpeg.log file in this thread:

Hi,

All those suffering from ffmpeg failing to generate a video, please try ffmpeg 0.6 or newer, although this might be break compatibility with old versions of ZM. If that happens, use ZM from SVN.
