zamba, check your cgi paths in zm options

and then permissions

on said paths

this is like a moving target.. i feel i have to change this all the time

what is the correct path?

it's currently set to: /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms

morning!

zamba: you must check you apache configuration and make it match with the paths on options

ic0n: up early today?

or awake late

up early. Woke up at 4am... thinking about work, etc.

icon: get some coffe, think about it some more. don't want to rush into it.

sorry, ic0n.

end of work... #choices https://imgur.com/HAp2ltN

morning

asker: your mp4 testing... were you using a video tag or something else?

video tag

direct to file, or theough view=view_video

direct to file. The view=video doesn't seem to be working for most folks usin the 264 branch

https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja/issues... -- yet another person who reported view=view doesnt work - abishai - I think he is on the freebsd port

view=video

So ic0n here is the status so far, based on what Chris told me - the guy I was debugging with. See if any of this makes sense:

1. When we started none of his videos were working on zmNinja Android. They worked in zmNinja desktop

2. We also confirmed that using the Android browser (system browser, not Chrome), the videos did not play either

3. When I trnascoded the videos to baseline and reduced scale to 1280:-1, it started working on my Android device (Moto E, Android 5)

4. When _he_ transcoded it the same way, it did not work on his device (Nexus 6P). When he sent me that video, it worked on my device with zmN

5. Finally, and this is a zinger:

He was on self signed SSL. When he bought a signed SSL certificate, all the videos using direct file path started working on the Android system browser, without transcoding.

wtf?

wha? So... it was an SSL problem?! Weird. Well, my videos are not working, but I am going through view=video from storageareas.

dont mean to butt in as I just joined, but I can open zm in my android browser and open/watch streams from there

well, ic0n - not sure if it really was an SSL problem. The SSL problem fixed viewing vidoes without transcoding on the android mobile browser, but not in zmN android

ic0n - did you transcode?

No. I'm thinking of adding transcoding to view=video so that we can support lower res/etc from what is actually stored.

for now, can you just transcode one video like I did and see if it plays on your phone?

I've got so many things on the go right now.... I'm hoping to get to the bottom of this.

yeah sure, I can understand that

I'll dive into it after my coffee

compdoc - video ?

yeah, hang on.... can you save me a moment and give me the command line?

or images?

sure

video

fmpeg -i 61-video.mp4 -vprofile baseline -vf scale=1280:-1 foo2.mp4

compdoc - on chrome or android's system browser

one thing I have issues with is saving videos to my desktop (not android) from the gui, when I want to save something

let me look..

its the android browser name internet. let me see if chrome works

yes

both work

okay, any chance I can get access to your instance for a day?

I want to see if zmN on android works and how your videos are being created

I just need access to one monitor with a few video events

well, its video from cams around my home and I dont know you'

yeah fair enough

um.. when loading by file... I get an image... but no controls.... so I don't know if it plays... but I get the image for both untranscoded and transcoded.

hmmm

you are using a plain video tag right?

yeah

I'll try adding video.js

okay, which monitor should I be checking on your server ic0n ? I'll try with your instance

its ubuntu server 16.04 and the standard package installed with apt-get. v1.30.0

mysql 5.7 was some trouble at first, but working now

the first one is h264 passthrough. So is #15

ok

asker, do you hace zm installed on ZM, or just using the browser?

crap

do you hace zm installed on android, or just using the browser?

not sure what you mean by zm installed on android - its a web portal

zm running on my rasp pi would be handy

ah

no I am not running zm on my phone

asker: my stored events work fine when loaded directly. Problem must be with view=video

okay just logged into your server - going to hide all but 15

whats #15's name ic0n ?

dcs-2310l

mid=15 is web6

I don't see a camera named dcs*

oh, you are looking at p1. Um... I don't think any of those are using h264. You need to hit my personal server. zm.connortechnology.com

ah

same login?

I assume so.

2/11/9 are the only configued monitors for my acct

can you add 15 and remove the others?

done

So asker I'm seeing different byte range behaviour between chrome on desktop and chrome on android

you mean in response to the Range header?

I've noticed in non-transcoded videos, it stalls loading - but if it was a Range header treatment issue, then it should be uniformed.

irrespective of video

ic0n - so whatever you did to my profile - I see nothing now

oh wait some major CSS snafu

the other thing is that the HTTP_ORIGIN header is https://gstatic.com when coming from android, whereas it SHOULD be the url of ZM.

its hidden under unfifiend variables

ic0n -issues with zm.connortech - I don't have permission to access

videos

ic0n - can you login as asker to your portal - you'll see whats going on

fixed. your password is now asker

ic0n - trying to view videos in even ts - says I don't have permission

I can't seem to log into zm.connortechnology.com portal using zmNinja

fixed

I'm using http://zm.connortechnology.com --> are there some fancy redirects etc?

I don't know.

um, I think it uses https

something wrong with api

ah yes

api failed, but login works

api works

I think video.js is actually caching the .mp4.... I can't get it to reload it.

yeah I think thats a similar problem with videogular too

makes testing very difficult

morning

ic0n - so forcing events to use paths in your instance gives a 404 - example

GET https://zm.connortechnology.com/events/15/16/11... 404 (Not Found)

yeah

and view_video doesn't work

so how are you seeing them?

I manually copied them elsewhere

try again now

same 404

https://zm.connortechnology.com/events/15/16/11... 404 (Not Found)

I'm not getting anything in apache logs... wtf

um.. that .mp4 doesn't exist

stick to vevents that have a thumbnail

ok

285623 is a god choice

285640 seems to work on my desktop - now going to device

squirrel desperately clinging to a bird feeder

So asker from android I get the following extra line in logs byterange_filter.c(297): [client 192.168.9.233:55865] AH01583: Range: 0-65536 | 0-1264 (0 : 0 : 1265)

thats probably your device? I haven't configured mine yet

ok ready to load

yes that's my device. It is loading the file in two chunks. I'm just wondering if that byterange_filter line is saying that it is only sending a bit of the file

yup it works

yes its possible - I think
