Re: zmupdate: INDEX command denied to user 'zmuser'@'localhost' for table 'Frames'

Thanks bbunge. I've typed that command so that I don't get more failures in the future.
Arguably this should/could be added to zmupdate, no?

Re: zmupdate: INDEX command denied to user 'zmuser'@'localhost' for table 'Frames'

I ended up going into phpmyadmin with probably better permissions and ran the index creation there, which worked fine: CREATE INDEX `EventId_idx` ON `Frames` (`EventId`) after that zmupdate completed since that got over the index creation it was failing on, but I'm still curious as to why it wasn't ...

[solved] zmupdate: INDEX command denied to user 'zmuser'@'localhost' for table 'Frames'

Howdy, I was upgrading from ZM 1.28 to 1.30, and zmupdate is failing with: Database successfully upgraded to version 1.28.105. Upgrading DB to 1.28.106 from 1.28.1 Database successfully upgraded to version 1.28.106. Upgrading DB to 1.28.107 from 1.28.1 Database successfully upgraded to version 1.28....

Re: bus error when adding a 19th 1080p camera

Looks like you may have hit a shared memory limit. Using settings for shared memory (shmall and shmmax) is old hat and they have not been used for a while now. Check your tmpfs usage with a df. Many Linux OSes (Ubuntu & Debian for two) will use half of the available RAM for tmpfs. Check the ZM ...

bus error when adding a 19th 1080p camera

I seem to be hitting some limit, I'm not sure what. At this point I'm just copying camera 18's settings into a camera 19, and zmc just fails with sigbus I have gargamel:~# grep . /proc/sys/kernel/shm* /proc/sys/kernel/shmall:8000000000 /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax:4096000 Considering it dies just after o...

Re: Got Wansview NCM625GA to work. Should I use jpeg or rtsp?

There is a bug in their http server and it does not return proper headers. This makes zoneminder unhappy.
As a result, I had to use the RTSP stream for zoneminder.

Can I use a jpeg input missing content-type in the http reply?

One of my cameras has a special backdoor URL that returns a jpeg, but is missing the Content-Type: image/jpeg header in the reply. I can view the jpeg in a browser which figures out it's a jpeg, but zoneminder complains about the empty content-type (and I can't blame it, it is missing). Is there any...

Re: Got Wansview NCM625GA to work. Should I use jpeg or rtsp

It depends. All of the above methods involve transcoding h.264 video from the camera into jpeg's, which is cpu intensive. You typically will not be able to run many 1080p cameras using the average desktop computer w/o making compromises. Thanks for explaining. I've checked that a single jpeg at 108...

Got Wansview NCM625GA to work. Should I use jpeg or rtsp?

I have a NCM625GA a 1080p motorized webcam at an unbeatable price ($125 on amazon), but the web interface isn't exactly linux friendly. However you can play its HD stream without problem with vlc rtsp://ip/live/ch0 and thanks to their support, I also got the magic URL to get jpegs from it: http://ip...

popup dialogs do not work in ZM

My ZM is working fine, I set it up ages ago, but I just found out that I can't edit anything that requires popups On the main page 'refresh' works, 'add new monitor' does nothing, 'filters' does nothing when I click on it. but I can find the URL and go to it directly https://server/zm/index.php?view...

Re: ***IMPORTANT*** How to run zmupdate for existing systems

Thanks. I think my filters are still working. PTZ, I never got to work with my camera, so I would not have lost them :) Sounds like I'm mostly good then, but I wanted to warn you that the default debian upgrade indeed broke color out of the box for me, and took a while to fix (until I found this thr...

Re: ***IMPORTANT*** How to run zmupdate for existing systems

I updated to zoneminder 1.26.5 on debian testing, and sure enough all my monitors went black and white. It took me a while to find this message. I hand fixed all my cameras to be back to 24bit and things look ok now. Anything else I need to hand fix? By the way, the debian package upgrade says: /var...
