ZoneMinder Forums

gianfx, I've been trying to join ZoneMinder and OpenCV for some time now to improve the motion detection. I have made little progress compared to you. I have also spent a lot of time comparing the motion detection code from both ZoneMinder and Motion. Motion seems to reject false alarms much better ...

I've experienced the same problem. This is a bug in FF 3.6. Here's the Mozilla bug report on the subject:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542096

Looks like it won't be fixed until the release after 3.6.4.[/url]

I'm seeing something similar to this.

I find that the first time I hover over a timeline event the text is displayed, however subsequent hovers show the image but not the text.

I'm thinking it's a caching related problem, but I haven't figured it out yet.

After setting up a fresh install of Slackware 13 and ZM 1.24.2 I was getting messages in zmdc.log that zmfilter.pl was failing. When I ran zmfilter manually from a shell prompt I got the following... Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/Date/Manip/TZ.pm...

You can disregard my previous post. The problem I had was that when I upgraded from 1.23.3 to 1.24.2 all the original web interface files from 1.23.3 remained in the web directory. I renamed the existing web directory then did a make install to copy the 1.24.2 files over again. This cured the majori...

My events list wasn't showing any events either after upgrading to 1.24.2. From the Apache error log I found the following: ... Unknown column 'LearnState' in 'field list'... In zm_html_view_events.php the SQL is built using LearnState as one of the parameters. However this comment from zm_update-1....

I was having a similar problem where zone images were blank. When I looked in {web_directory}/images I found images like Zones1.jpg, however the Apache log indicated it was looking for files named like <monitor_name>-Zones.jpg. I tracked the problem down to zm_monitor.cpp where it was naming the ima...

Good news. FF 3.0.5 has been released. I just upgraded and it appears to me that FF properly closes the stream when the viewing window is closed. I confirmed this by monitoring tasks with top. When a stream is viewed a zms process is created. When the viewing window is closed the zms process termina...

Found this comment on the Mozilla bug report . ------- Comment #78 From Daniel Kabs (hello everybody) 2008-11-06 12:25:15 PST ------- Boris, that's good news. Thanks. I'm having problems linking those branch numbers to Firefox versions. Does "fixed on 1.9. branch" mean we will get this fix...

I've installed FF3.1 Beta 1 and it appears to have fixed the endless streaming problem. Fortunately it installed parallel to my current FF3.0.3 installation, because many of my plugins didn't load in FF3.1 It looks like release 3.0.4 scheduled for final release on November 12th may also fix this pro...

If you can't get Motion and Zoneminder to simultaneously display a picture then its possible the V4L drivers don't do that for your equipment. I've tried running them side-by-side but found that I can't get both to open the same video device simultaneously. I may try again using the vloopback drive...

The only way (you already know) is shut down FF or restart apache.-

Another method mentioned previously is to momentarily set FF3 to offline mode and then back. This forces FF3 to close the streams. Click on "Work Offline" in the File menu.

FWIW, here's the Mozilla bug report which seems to identify the problem we're having.

I too have been bitten by this, and no one seems in a hurry to fix it any time soon.

(EDITED - fixed the Mozilla link)

Could you post a URL for Motion so I could take a look at it?

I've googled and found several motion detection software examples, but not the one you're referring to.

Thanks!
