For the build problem of: @zazenhei, I had the same issue. It seems there's an error in the cmake file logic that doesn't handle the /usr/include/mp4v2/mp4v2.h nested include files in the place of /usr/include/mp4v2.h You see it comment that if does not find the header files but it carries on and the compile fails when the header file is needed. Since it never asks to include the header file its normal that the compile fails. A really simple hack to force cmake to chose the right option for the include in the PKGBUILD file in the build section for cmake if you add the define: -DHAVE_MP4V2_MP4V2_H=1 \ The build continues to the end, or it did for me. I'm new to zoneminder and built on a RPI-400 with aarch64 and libpm4v2 4.1.6-1 your mileage may vary.

Thanks @Nocifier. Downgrading libmp4v2 to 4.1.3 and then clean building ZoneMinder fixed it. I am greatly appreciative of your work and I thank you for what you do.

I run Proxmox with various VM/containers and I could only imagine the frustration of those without an easy backup/restore solution. Many of my VMs are Arch based which I prefer because of the control over them. However ZM has been a PITA on Arch for a long time. Thank you for being very tentative of this package!

Updated package to 1.34.24, tried to test build, got the MP4 errors previously reported by @zazenhei, downgraded libmp4v2, got the same errors, decided to not bother and uploaded the new version anyway.

If anyone has found a solution for these errors (as I said, downgrading libmp4v2 didn't work for me) I'd be grateful if they'd post it here, otherwise I'll just bear with it until 1.35 hopefully resolves the issue(s). Well, at least this release should be compatible with PHP 8 according to the changelog.

EDIT: Actually scratch that, turns out that downgrading libmp4v2 to 4.1.3 does fix the issue, it's just that I had to clean my working environment after having already tried to build with 4.1.4. So yeah, downgrading works.

@Mike616, thank you so much for your advice.

@everyone, unfortunately almost all these errors that have been variously plaguing our setups lately stem from the simple fact that ZM hasn't seen a new proper release in (relatively speaking) ages, while at the same time Arch is a fast moving distro that constantly pulls in all the newest versions of x264, x265, ffmpeg, php, dav1d, heif, etc etc, which ZM's latest stable release is obviously not very compatible with.

This isn't solely the devs' fault, because if we'd been using ZM on something like e.g. Debian this would not have been so much of a problem, so this situation is actually a superb example of why a rolling distro is not great for being used as a server for large and complex apps like ZM :)

new build error.

I have downgraded libmp4. Then the problem was solved.

I also had issues with php not being able to load the php-gd library (causing issues with Nextcloud). It was still looking for the newer version of libx265. Downgrading libheif to 1.11.0-1 got php working again.

@Mike616 Thanks for sharing your steps. I had to downgrade dav1d as well (back to version 0.7.1-1).

Okay it looks like zoneminder doesn't yet support the latest release of libx264. Downgrading ffmpeg, libx265, and libx264 to the previous versions solved the problem for me.

Here's how I did this:

Find the previous versions of all three packages:

$ cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep -P "x264|x265|ffmpeg"
[2021-03-25T22:17:19-0700] [ALPM] upgraded x264 (3:0.160.r3011.cde9a93-1 -> 3:0.161.r3039.544c61f-1)
[2021-03-25T22:17:19-0700] [ALPM] upgraded x265 (3.4-1 -> 3.5-1)
[2021-03-25T22:17:19-0700] [ALPM] upgraded ffmpeg (2:4.3.2-2 -> 2:4.3.2-3)

If you haven't cleared your pacman cache, you can install the previous cached versions. You'll have to do all three packages at the same time since they are dependent on each other:

# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/{ffmpeg-2:4.3.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst,x264-3:0.160.r3011.cde9a93-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst,x265-3.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst}

You can tell pacman to ignore updates for these packages for the time being by adding the following to the options section of /etc/pacman.conf:

IgnorePkg   = ffmpeg
IgnorePkg   = x264
IgnorePkg   = x265

After doing this, all my cameras came back to life. Yay because I'm going on vacation tomorrow.

@alanking I just ran pacman -Suy and rebooted and now I'm having the same problem. All cameras are red. I can open the web console but cannot stream anything.

ERR ['zma -m 6' exited abnormally, exit status 127]

Trying to run zmc or zma directly produces:
