Arch Linux User Repository

Seems like onvif support requires: perl-data-uuid perl-soap-wsdl perl-io-socket-multicast

WHY?? every year something goes nuts with zoneminder.

cant follow @hardroids example because getting ffmpeg3.4-full to install is/was a bitch. then after pulling that miracle zoneminder wont install because i get a cmake error with zm.dir and zm_mpeg at 38% build point >> all research indicates this is a ffmpeg issue. SO WTF is going on?? (i know nu updates of ffmpeg chanes nomenclature and shit but come on).

why is this beautiful software so hard to install!!!!

@hardroid > please explaing a bit more about your ubuntu installation. you have another machine where you copied folders from? your new PKGBLD is defintely better. but still cant get this damn software to install. so bad and such a waste of time i sometimes think i will have to ditch arch linux (dont want to anyway) MESMER PLZ UPDATE

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

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

Package: zoneminder
Version: 1.30.4-bionic

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.

@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: Also this:

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