ZoneMinder linux/windows/mac/*nix client Qt Viewer

Post by lopezlean »

Hi all,
I done a zoneminder client written in Qt 4.2.
The project is in http://sourceforge.net/projects/zmviewer
It has many things that need to be fixed and there are a lots of improvements that can be done.

I'd like to give this a try. Can you give me a pointer or two on how one compiles a QT project like this.

You need:
* Qt 4.2.3 (http://www.trolltech.com) (http://trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/index)
* Subversion ( optional )

-First( if u have subversion ),
Grab the latest revision with this command:
svn co https://zmviewer.svn.sourceforge.net/sv ... k/zmviewer
-Then run:
cd zmviewer
qmake
make

OK I was able to build this (using cmake) and it looks like a fine start.

What plans do you have for this app? Will it support auth mode? Viewing events as well as live streams?

I'm hoping to see support for viewing streams using the raw stream shared memory method for local monitors. :)

I would like to help in any way I am able.

Yes, now is based on cmake.
My plans for this week are:
* View recorded events.
* Support Auth mode.

End User Documentation and API Documentation is needed too.

And all your ideas are in a plans too... thanks for suggestions.

I like the way that ..

I like the way that a gtk gui interface was shot down as a bad idea and now 3 of the top 6 post in this section are about gui interfaces....

This poroduct will be soo much more viable with a nice client interface.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

I think the main reason that ZM doesn't have a standalone GUI interface is that (a) I don't know any GUI libraries and (b) all my Linux boxes are headless so I never see or use Gnome or KDE and their ilk.

I wish...

Post by timgman »

I wish that I had the talent to program in qt ot gtk.....
I'm a sysadmin and can script and do some basic lamp stuff..... I just have a big job and 2 kid so I have not free time (at this point) to educate myself in the ways of gtk.

maybe I'll try to set a few hours aside to start playing...
