#zoneminder

got it ty.

<--- total noob

time to update from 1.30.4

1.31.x is beta (rc-quality if you ask me)

timeline doesn't play well with videostorage, don't try using it :)

your cpu will thank you :)

thats fine. im just trying to get more out of this chromebook

pos now what

upgraded to 1.31.1

monitor settings, disable jpeg writing, enable passthrough

k

ty

oh, and you'll be able to store some 20-40 times more footage this way ;)

depending on cam qual (like video artifacts etc)

ty

ty

less wear on drives, filesystem speed etc, etc, etc

zm master won't stream/show old jpeg events (yet)

ic0n's storageareas branch has a patch

you can ofc generate video from old jpeg events

"Input stream is not h264. The stored event file may not be viewable in browser."

is the stream h264? try it in vlc, look at media info

adjust cam settings/use alt stream for h264

Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264)

whats what vlc says?

thats*

Yellow-Snow: I recommend having it make a snapshot in jpeg settings. It gets used for thumbnails.

ic0n, works without but is prolly generated per event list view

yeah without it, we run ffmpeg to generate it.

so, i've got these cams which, when using ffmpeg with -vcodec copy, end up with funky files. let's say an event is supposed to be 15 secs long, i get a video file sized about 5MB but all players, including "zms" think it's 50 minutes long

"zms" just shows the first frame for 50 minutes, vlc 2.x crashes on open, mpv/mplayer play the video but also believes it to be long (complains about invalid timestamps)

windows media player however, works

ic0n ty for the tip

i've tried -fflags +gentps as ffmpeg input options

also tried -vsync drop as encoder options but unsure as to whether it made a diff

or worked

how are options like the latter configured as videostorage encoder options, btw? log complain about invalid pair

hey guys, i've updated a system from 14.04 to 16.04, and in turn it seems to have broken my ZM install

what's the correct way to update mySQL db to ensure the correct tables are in place?

i'm getting errors such as "Can't insert event: Field 'DefaultVideo' doesn't have a default value"

also this "Memory map file '/dev/shm/zm.mmap.6' does not exist. zmc might not be running."

and this frontend error "Uncaught ReferenceError: $j is not defined"

:/

The docs have been removed it seems, i can't find anything to do with upgrading, those commands related to DB updating etc

hi ic0n do you get scrolls? :D

scrolls?

ren0v0: ?

yea from a bouncer or anything

i just asked a load of questions and then you joined :)

yeah my irc has been crap for a while. keeps telling me i've timed out

I don't know why

Well channel excuse my copy/paste :/

you can re-apply all the zm_update-* scripts. They are designed to be re-applable.

mysql -uz muser -p zm < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_update-1.31.whatever

what version of zm were you running before and which are you running now?

to be honest it hink it might have been a newer one, like 1.31 but now i installed frmo PPA and its 1.30.4

maybe i built it :/

damn dist-upgrades

Switch to my ppa for my branch, it is more fun.

you will have a ppa entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, in it the line will be remarked out. Uncomment it and then do apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and you will get whatever ppa version you had before

iconnor-zoneminder-master-trusty.list iconnor-zoneminder-trusty.list

hmm which is it

o wait it'll be this one now :D iconnor-ubuntu-zoneminder-xenial.list

ic0n, it says nothing to upgrade

how about just try sudo add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-master

ic0n, it installed no issues, but i'm still getting this "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'isDisplayed' of undefined"

/zm/tools/mootools/mootools-more.js

and now this:

Can't insert event: Field 'DefaultVideo' doesn't have a default value. sql was (insert into Events ( MonitorId, Name, StartTime, Width, Height, Cause, Notes, StateId, Videoed ) values ( 1, 'New Event', from_unixtime( 1515087345 ), 1920, 1080, 'Linked', 'Linked: SideSub', '1', '0' ))

sudo zmupdate.pl

if that doesn't do anything, then

mysql -u zmuser -p zm < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_update-1.31.0.sql

Database already at version 1.31.1, update aborted.

nope, stream still won't show :(

getStreamCmdResponse stream error: Socket /var/run/zm/zms-490723s.sock does not exist. This file is created by zms, and since it does not exist, either zms did not run, or zms exited early. Please check your zms logs and ensure that CGI is enabled in apache and check that the PATH_ZMS is set correctly. Make sure that ZM is actually recording. If you are trying to view a live stream and the capture process (zmc) is

not running then zms will exit. Please go to http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.... for more information. - checkStreamForErrors()

I can't even see PATH_ZMS config

and I'm back

:)

any ideas on that one? :P

it does seem that any time i upgrades or something things make a mess of themselves

usually its something basic like php timezone or silly stuff

I think I missed what you have been saying. Last I had was me satying to do

mysql -u zmuser -p zm < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_update-1.31.0.sql

yea i did that and then got this

getStreamCmdResponse stream error: Socket /var/run/zm/zms-490723s.sock does not exist. This file is created by zms, and since it does not exist, either zms did not run, or zms exited early.

<ren0v0> not running then zms will exit. Please go to http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.... for more information. - checkStreamForErrors()

But I can't even see PATH_ZMS config

zms is set in /etc/zm/conf.d/01-system-paths.conf

that doesn't show in the UI though.

ZM_PATH_ZMS=/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms
