Great, thanks, I will give it a try when I get a moment.

Thanks again,
Mike.

Ok - seems it was an over heating issue as since new 5000 rpm fan installed blowing right over the card there have been no more 'SCERR' errors in the log files and no more kernel panics. In answer to my own question I see you have the de-interlacing well underway as explained in your "ZM 1.25.0...

Hi Kfir, I just wondered if you had got any futher with your deinterlacing code for ZM ? I am living with the combing effect at the moment. I figured the higher res was worth it (just). I have been having loads of issues with the box crashing out with kernel panics. I think I have traced the issue d...

Hi again Kfir, Many thanks for that insight. I tried your suggestion of setting resolution of to 384x288 and V4L2_CAPTURE_FIELDS to 2 and this worked - the combing was gone! Am I right in thinking that 384x288 set as above with V4L2_CAPTURE_FIELDS to 2 is actually not giving any more information tha...

Hi guys, I have a prob with the above card where I get an interlaced combing effect on all the images when there is motion. It appears at all resolutions I have tried: 320x240, 640x480 & full PAL 768x576. I normally run the 3 cams I have at full PAL. Both the card & the cams are supposed to ...

Just noticed in the RecentChanges section of the wiki that the http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/ZM4MS artical now contains links to dodgy pill sites & the like. Also in the main documentaion there is link under Defining Zones to some odd junk website. These sites could well contain malwa...

Fantastic - it works !! :D I replaced the original ../src/zm_event.cpp with your new one did the following: service zm stop autoconf ./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local/share/ffmpeg CFLAGS="-g -O3 -march=prescott -mtune=prescott&quo...

Hi mike, Sorry for the delay. Anyways, it seems the sendfile() function doesn't work on your platform correctly but is broken. I will soon attach a modified zm_event.cpp that doesn't use sendfile but the old and slower way. mastertheknife Ahh, OK. Wonder why that function it doesn't work on my plat...

Anyone got any ideas on why I get :
Jun 28 17:06:25 zm1 zms[24917]: ERR [Unable to send raw frame 1: Invalid argument]

whenever I go to view a recorded event ??

Thanks in advance,

Mike.

Option DIR_EVENTS is set to 'events' which seems correct also...

Mike.

Sorry miss-read your post you asked "where are the events stored" not "are the events stored"!
OK - they seem to be stored in '/var/www/html/zm/events' with a sub dir for each cam 1, 2 etc.

Mike

Hi Kfir, Yes the events are stored OK. I can convert them to video & download & view. I can also view the stills. If I use IE to view I just get a white screen with cambozola writen in the middle. If I use Firefox I get only a bank white screen. In /var/log/messages (syslog) I get the follow...

I have added: ZM_CPU_EXTENSIONS=true ZM_FAST_IMAGE_BLENDS=true to /usr/local/etc/zm.conf. I think this brought CPU usage % down a bit more. Only major issue I have now is that I can no longer view events I just get a blank white screen. No errors seem to be in the logs. Any idea why that could be ?...

Seems so far for my Prescott P4 that BGR24 with 24 bit colour is best as it uses slightly less CPU & RAM than BGR/RGB32 & 32bit colour. Not sure if it's just me but perhaps the picture looks better now. Will like to see it in the night when the IR lights fire up - there was a small bit of co...
