I am currently using ZM 1.19.3 on a Debian system and want to move up to the current ZM version. There are some changes to the ZM configure script and I would like to know exactly what you did regarding ffmpeg. After downloading the CVS did you do a "make install" and "make installlib...

Renamin Monitors

I was having problems renaming monitors. If I renamed monitor named XYZ to ABC, all seemed to work. However, the link in the Events directory pointing to the Monitor ID directory, was still named XYZ. It seems the following 'if' clause in zm_actions.php was never executing. if ( $changes['Name'] ) {...

I also am using a single chip bttv card. I have at least one camera rotated 90 degrees all the time. The unrotated picture is 320x240. Just rotating the image in Monitor > Source produces the distortion you described ie: subsequent channels are messed up. Changing the source for the rotated camera t...

Here is another occurrence with a little more info. The error occurred at 12:50:10. Three cameras alarmed about a minute later with no error. What's peculiar is that when I do "ls /tmp/zm* -l", it shows the update time as 12:50 for zmf-1, the time of the error, but still shows the startup ...

Frame Server Error

I have increased both net.core.rmem_max and net.core.wmem_max from 65535 to 131072 and changed ZM_FRAME_SOCKET_SIZE to 131072 in Options but I still get the occasional incomplete frame write as you can see in the attached log. I thought it might have something to do with 2 cameras being in alarm sta...

Ross: I have made some progress. I copied the entire kernel source tree to /home/user. This gave me full read/write access. I then compiled the driver using this make statement: make -C /home/user/linux-2.6.7-2.tmb.3mdk SUBDIRS=$PWD INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/home/user modules This created the object module ...

Ross: Thanks for compiling the driver for me. However you were right. I cannot use it for the reasons you mentioned. I use an earlier version of the driver for my main ZoneMinder installation on my home machine. It has a 2.4.xx kernel and all works well. I have 4 outdoor cameras connected to a video...
