Hi, We experience following strange things in WMP when we stream LIVE mpeg4 from ZM, and which doesn't appear when we stream mpeg4 from ffserver/ffmpeg: 1) Delay at the stream start with ZM is 10-20 seconds, with ffserver only 2 seconds ! 2) WMP buffering from ZM shows: 10%, 30%, 60%, 80%, 5%, 30%,7...

Yes, I was looking at the diagonal lines. Ok, we'll use is as it is.
Thank you.

Hi Phil. I've sent you 100% and 75% images over email (didn't know how to include them in a post reply).

I'm capturing at 352x288 but I'd like to display streaming jpegs at 75% scale size. But the scaled image is distorted. Is it possible to scale it and get a good looking streaming image, like if I would resize it in Photoshop? Perhaps some antialias parameter somewhere in source code could be added ?...

Yes Phil, I'd appreciate if you would post the changes here already.
Thank you.

Thank you Phil. I'm working on some special low bandwidth streaming where the fps streaming limitation would be great.

Have tried, but no change. If camera's MAX_FPS is set to 10 then it's also streamed at 10fps, even when we set ZM_WEB_x_VIDEO_MAXFPS to 1 fps.

Thank you Fernando, but we don't have this option checked. The problem is that we want to capture at fixed 5fps (he have Maximum fps set to 5), but we want to stream only at 1 fps.

How can be mpeg or mjpeg video streaming from ZM limited to, for example 1 fps, where this camera is being recorded at 20 fps?

Thank you,
Darko

I'm back on this problem again. Streaming with ffserver+ffmpeg to my LooX PocketPc 2003 handheld works fine in asf format. Url I use: http://SERVER_IP:8090/test.asf But the same thing with zms doesn't work, media player on LooX displays Opening... forever it doesn't start buffering. Url I use: http:...

I've managed to find a solution.

I put "use bytes;" in every .pl script and now the scripts are working OK. Seems this is a RH9 problem with perl. Perhaps some system export setting might do a trick too. Hope this helps someone.

Dear Phil,
we're very interested in ZM's PG support. If you have any guides, samples etc. please share them with us, we'd like to test ZM with PG.

Thank you,

Hi, after installing 1.20.1 I still have the problem on RH9: [root@linuxpc zm-1.20.1]# zmpkg.pl Use of uninitialized value in transliteration (tr///) at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 52, <CONFIG> line 5.

Perhaps you can post the patches/help here once again, so we can try them out. Don't know from the thread which is the correct way solve the problems.
I'd be glad to test the patch(es).

Same here - cannot login if auth is on. I've upgradede from 1.19.5 which worked fine with this apache and php. My machine is SUSE 9.1 with latest online update.
