Finally I got this working with php-7.2!

And also with API works!

API from ubuntu package!

First I did JohnyRi's steps (thx JohnyRi!)

1) force remove ffmpeg by

pacman -Rdd ffmpeg

2) downgrading the x265 package to 2.7-1.

downgrade x265

3) install ffmpeg 3.4.2-2 using downgrade.

downgrade ffmpeg

Then:

installing perl-sys-cpu and perl-sys-meminfo

yaourt -S perl-sys-cpu perl-sys-meminfo

Then:

Compiling and installing with this PKGBUILD

a.) changed sha key to the new one

b.) changed ZoneMinder-$pkgver everywhere to zoneminder-$pkgver

c.) removed php-mcrypt from dependencies

    install -Dm644 ../zoneminder-tmpfile.conf "$pkgdir"/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/zoneminder.conf

Then I copied API Folder (/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api) from my ubuntu bionic installation:

Package: zoneminder
Version: 1.30.4-bionic

to the arch linux zoneminder api folder (/srv/http/zoneminder/api) (overwrite all existing)

This was the trick!

In ZMNinja Android App the "ZM cgi-bin URL" has to be changed from http://your-ip/zm/cgi-bin to http://your-ip/cgi-bin and it workes perfectly

Hi, @sav I managed to temporarily fix the bug by doing this:

1) force remove ffmpeg by # pacman -Rdd ffmpeg.

2) downgrading the x265 package to 2.7-1.

3) install ffmpeg 3.4.2-2 using downgrade.

Hope this helps until the zoneminder package is fixed.

Be aware that doing upgrade without disabling x265 and ffmpeg packages to update would result in zoneminder stop working again.

sav commented on 2018-06-01 17:36 (UTC)

@antoined, after upgrading the system, rolled back the ffmpeg package to version 1-_3.4.2-2-x86_64 and zoneminder worked. Now this procedure does not work. When will we see the solution or update?

@antoined: Your PKGBUILD relies on perl-sys-cpu and perl-sys-meminfo but does not install them.

Additionally, the current pkgbuild doesn't build.
