[http://www.zoneminder.com/downloads/ffmpeg-rtspAuth.patch ffmpeg RTSP authentication patch]

This patches the ffmpeg libraries to allow RTSP sources to use Basic Authentication if required. This patch will be available via the ffmpeg SVN at some point.

----

[http://trac.unixmedia.it/browser/public/zum/ Unified third party patchset zm branch]

Not exactly a patch but a patched branch starting from zoneminder 1.25 including a lot of patches
from different developers.

Actually applied patches are:
* masterofknife's performances patchset
* plugin patches
* updated support for latest ffmpeg version
* various fixes
And plugins:
* face detection plugin
* license plate recognition plugin (alpha version)

The compiling instructions are identical to the one of the masterofknife's branch: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17652

There are also some fundraising to get other plugins and developement of various patches continue, partially financed by an italian company here: [http://domotika.unixmedia.net/en/open-source/bounty http://domotika.unixmedia.net/en/open-source/bounty]

Fundraising are for developement of various plugins based on OpenCV like human body recognition, face detection and recognition, but also to patch zm to add audio support and so on.

For info please ask nextime on IRC on the zoneminder channel on freenode.

A way to get the stream from mpeg4 only capable ip cams ( or other encoding also ) captured in zm:

This way work better in terms of load and FPS than the method of save a single frame a time with mplayer in jpeg.

You need:
- ffmpeg
- vloopback (http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/VideoFourLinuxLoopbackDevice)
- vpipe (http://download.astronomix.org/vpipe-0.0.2.tgz )

compile vloopback and modprobe it to create a v4l loopback device.
It create a videoN and videoN+1 couple of devices, /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 for example.
In this case, video0 is the input device, and video1 is the output device.

Now. with ffmpeg, do something like:
<nowiki>
ffmpeg -i http://<ip_of_your_cam>/img/video.asf -r 8 -f rawvideo - | ./vpipe -f <format> -i 0
</nowiki>
where 0 mean "/dev/video0"

Now you can simply create a monitor that point to /dev/video1 chan 0 whith the same resolution and color palette of your ffmpeg formatted output, and you get your cam work with zoneminder

Ther's also a little and crappy daemon written in python to automatize the use of vpipe + vloopback with ffmpeg for multiple cams here:
http://download.astronomix.org/ZMmpeg4.tgz

Read "README" file inside the tarball for instruction on how to use it.

If you hare on debian sid:
<nowiki>
deb http://packages.medianix.net/ mercury main
</nowiki>

apt-get/aptitude install vpipe

m-a get vloopback-source

m-i build vloopback-source
