Re: Cant maintain FPS

punisherb273 just a quick question to see if i am bumping into the same problem on a new setup, did you see the frames properly ordered "1, 2, 3 ..." when you clicked "frames" or would there be frame numbers skipped "1, 2, 4, 7 ...." *before you* fixed the issue? thank...

I'm running an identical ubuntu setup in virtualbox on a my gaming computer and playback is smooth as butter. they are using the same connection and everything.

Cant maintain FPS

I have four amcrest 1080p 30fps cameras set up on ZM 1.30 and i cant seem to get the playback to be smooth 30fps. For the first few seconds of the playback it is definitely close to 30fps, and then after looking at the stills it drops to about 5fps. I have been lurking around for a week or two and c...
