ZoneMinder 1.25.0 - preview

[kingofkya]

I have seen no issues with my 1.25.0 system.

Video generation fails when using an absolute events path. (Note: this isn't a new problem. It seems old versions of ZM are also affected)

Unable to generate video, check /var/www/zoneminder/htdocs//var/www/zoneminder/htdocs/events/2/11/08/01/01/00/00/ffmpeg.log for details

After changing back to relative path, it works fine.

Below is a proposed patch to fix this:

It seems that I am unable to create or modify Zones correctly.
It allows me to open the window, but there are no points for me to alter. The logging system states:

Code: Select all

I've been using the svn version for a while and have liked it very much. I have noticed one small annoying bug that is easily fixed. When "watching" a camera and there is no value for RELOAD_CAMBOZOLA set aka "var appletRefreshTime = ;" all of the var's generated from watch.js.php are "undefined". So you can see the stream, but no other information shows. I'm guessing this, or something similar, would affect other pages too.

There should be some type of safety check, I'm thinking, that will set the value to 0 or some default if null like (untested to see if it would actually "echo" correctly):

Code: Select all

 var appletRefreshTime = <?=  (empty(ZM_RELOAD_CAMBOZOLA)? 0 : ZM_RELOAD_CAMBOZOLA); >  

or possibly in the database the default value should be defined.

Under Ubuntu 11.04 box (OpenSSH and LAMP packages, VMWare appliance), compiled from SVN with libjpeg-turbo.

Works fine.

Issue repoted:

a - Some include missed in zm_user.cpp, like showned in the
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... _Cambozola

b - zm.conf not found so I need to change the right path in include/config.php file to run zoneminder.

PROS:
c - CPU consumption using libjpeg-turbo is about 1/3 than standard library.

Some questions:
1 - What are the Changes in the 1.25.0 respect the 1.24.4, ChangeLog doesn't report any informations about
2 - I plan to use a production environment starting at end of september. It's better to use the 1.25.0 or 1.24.4 ?
3 - It's the milestone for the 1.25.x release defined ?

Thanks in advance.

VeryGood work

Can you check you have the latest version of 1.25.0 as I can't see this issue.

The default in the DB should be 0 so I'm not sure how you ended up with a blank value. I am going to add some further validation into the Options screen anyway to try and avoid this sort of thing happening by accident.

1.25.0 is not officially released yet which is why there is no entry in the ChangeLog. Basically though it is as per the first post in this thread, just a total revamp of the logging, though now also with a few other tweaks. I plan to actually release 1.25.0 ASAP so that should be good for your setup. Immediately after I will make available a preview of 1.25.1 which will have mastertheknife's proposed optimisations and f that goes well, it will be released soon after.

There are various Ubuntu guides on the Wiki. There is nothing specific to 1.25.0 as it is not released yet but it is not that different than previous versions.

Hmm, this is a new one. Can you try editing that file and underneath the other #include lines add

Code: Select all

#include <stdlib.h>

Hopefully that will fix it but there may be other files you have to do the same to. Can you let me know if that works?

[JuVeNaL]

still the same error

Ok, think I had the wrong header file there. Try using limits.h instead.
