#zoneminder

but tbh since it doesnt have rtsp:// i have to assume it's mjpg

hence in general tab yu might try REMOTE

and then something like this

change the values as per your cams

http://(user):(pass)3@192.168.0.81:80/videostream.asf?user=(user)&pwd=(password)&resolution=320*240

works fine

is that What I put in ZM?

in remote host path?

or remote host name

doesnt seem to want to connect to VLC

grrr

jzaw: Thanks for your help yesterday! It works. Problem is that I need to get hold of an auth-token. Any tip on how I do that?

So it's a hash ... of username/password/timestamp and auth_hash_secret?

sigh....frustrating here

If it's easy it's not worth doing? :)

selstam - what are you trying to do?

Need to grab latest image captured per camera from zm.

you don't need auth token

replace with &user=xxxx&pass=yyyy

(forget if its pass, passwd, or password)

That'll send username and password in clear text. Don't really want that. :)

ah

well, there are two ways

a) You look at how the hash is computed and compute it yourself - its not hard

Nope, just got it. :)

b) You do a POST login to ZM, get to a streaming page url and screen scrape the auth token

you got it?

It's and md5-hash of a concat string of AUTH_HASH_SECRET+user+pass+timestamp

ummmm

isnt there an IP there too?

its the IP that ZM sees of your request

Ah, yes, it is.

new install....but cannot capture stream in ZM

and therein lies the problem

here...

you need to make sure the IP you use is the IP ZM sees - not always easy

what does "unable determine arp path, tatus is 127" mean???

status

I think it's good enough for me though since I can always predict what IP to use. Only problem I can see with that is if you're behind a reverse proxy on the remote side.

gak. What are you trying to do ? probe ?

yes

selstam - right

once you create the function would you mind sending me the exact computation that works? I've looked at it, but never tried

Lurchy - probe I think is not meant for network cameras

ok

asker: Sure! Give me a sec

I'll add it to zmNinja if you don't mind if it works

when I try to view cameras I have created....I get green source...but when I try to veiw stream all I get it blank.....blue screen

blue screen -- hmm

not a BSOD...just blue screen when trying to monitor source

I've gotta run - will be in on monday, but this is usually a case of wrong parameters in config

make sure you have the dimensions correct, color depth correct

what is the URL and what source are you using ? remote/ffmpeg?

192.168.0.91 inside my network

no the source url

remote and ffmpeg

can you post a screenshot

source URL...the camera?

of the source and general tabs

yep

where do you post screenshots?

II can DCC

ok...one moment

gtg - Ill catch up with you monday (US East Coast time)

wierd

booted

one momenet for other screen

there is source window

in console...name is blue...function and soure are green

but this is screen i get when try to view

Blue....

192.168.0.81:99 is camera IP(in my network)

192.168.0.50 is the ubuntu box

what he said :-P

Lurchy, Lurchbot in your config screen

you have host path http://blah

yes

remove all of that and the port 99 ... leave /videostream-etc

one sec

see mine https://i.imgur.com/9DjmCkG.png

your hostname correct

your host port correct

your host path should just be the path part of the url ... so from /videostream... onwards

ok

one moment...

ok..done

still only get blue window

:/

fyi...here is what worked in Ispy...a window app that seems to work

I blaked out user/pass obviously

err blacked

did i screw up when i installed ZM??

should I remove and reinstall?

If anyone needs c# code to generate ZM Auth hash ... you can use this as you like:
