How to stop monitor stream?

[IgorA100]

I'm completely changing the grid of a Montage page and need to stop some monitors so they don't consume resources (when they're not showing on the screen).
monitor.start() - naturally works without problems.
monitor.stop() & monitor.kill() - does not stop the stream

Uh...

Something is bad here. I was under the impression that sending the CMD_STOP would stop the stream.... apparently all it does is unpause.... which is very counter-intuitive.

CMD_QUIT will cause zms to exit, which will do the job. Maybe CMD_PAUSE would suffice though, so you could then send CMD_PLAY to start back up. Please note that when paused, zms will occasionally (5s) send another image to keep the connection alive.

Running CMD_PAUSE does not reduce server resource consumption.

It’s very strange, but when I respond to the CMD_QUIT command I receive a message in the browser console:

Code: Select all

Because zms quits, but you havnt stopped the ajax status requests
