Details

Upgraded to current zmeventnotification, and have enabled live notifications to zmninja on an iPhone. However only the static image preview is sent as a notification, not the video. I can see the mp4 is created, I can play it with no issues on vlc. Ownership on the directory is good; www-data:www-data

Important: Please post DEBUG logs NOT INF logs. Instructions on how to enable debug logs are posted HERE

Is there a configuration someplace to set to send the mp4 and not the picture?

Please let me know if there's something further I can try (or have missed!).

Pushover works just fine, so no major issue.

You'll have to see debug logs of zmeventnotification.pl to see what is the URL it is using for sending the image/animation. Note that animation only works in iOS.

[RussH]

so I launched with sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/zmeventnotification.pl --debug and gathered the following logfile whilst triggerfing an event by walking on front of it zmeventnotification-debug.log

Everything looks good. I missed your ZM version - 1.34 I'm not sure when it was released, but it may be likely that version of ZM doesn't support passing video files via URL See this post - the code was added to ZM Mar 2020.
