If all you are getting is complaints from zmwatch that doesn't necessary mean disaster. If you type 'ipcs -m' do you see the shared memory segments listed? Do the permissions look ok?

I have seen a few reports of this error on Fedora 15, but equally all the F15 installs I have done have all worked fine. I notice you are installing from a rpm, perhaps the dependencies for that are broken. Can you confirm you have the Sys::Mmap perl module installed, the yum package is perl-Sys-Mmap.

You are going to need to provide a bit more detail than that. How are your monitors set up for example? I'm not familiar with those cameras so can't suggest anything in that regard. There's not really a huge different in how netcams work between 1.24.2 and 1.24.4 so it is going to be something subtl...

Yes, generating video for long events via the web GUI is not a good idea. The functionality is there for convenience. The alternative is to create video via a backgrounded filter if you have a defined set of events you want to batch create for. Any videos created this way will show up in the 'video'...

The monitor SQL is excuted only once, at the beginning so the results you get from that will never change. The Notes field in that context does not make any sense. You need to be querying the Events table to get Notes out, and do that in the block I identified each time there is a new alarm. Somethi...

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. You have the script from the FAQ, you should leave all that code as it is (though you may wish to rerun the monitor selection code periodically). Do not modify the sql that is in the example as that is not to select events but only to select monitors. Basicall...

Have a look at Options->Config->V4L_MULTI_BUFFER and CAPTURES_PER_FRAME and see if that helps.

I know that's what it looks like from the docs but (a) that wouldn't make sense as you couldn't select for less than a second and (b) from testing it uses the usec value even if the sec value is zero. So 0, 500000 will wait for 0.5 seconds. I think the docs assume the whole timeout setting when they...

Yes. That's how I see it.

My reading of the docs indicates that doing $numSockets = @socket_select( $rSockets, $wSockets, $eSockets, intval(MSG_TIMEOUT/1000), (MSG_TIMEOUT%1000)*1000 ); should function as intended. Unless someone can persuade me that I have misunderstood I will update the code to do that, it seems to work o...

Link updated with a few more tweaks and fixes.

Ok, I think I have made progress on this issue. It's a long story but not all versions of PHP come with json handling functions and perl might have several or none depending on what modules are installed. I think in the cases where it fails it is because perl can't find any module JSON functions are...

Can you tell me your o/s and version of php?

Thanks. Be aware that though you have corrected your zm file, this is actually generated from the zm.in file in the scripts directory during configuration and build. So if you are likely to rebuild at any point you might want to edit that one as well, though the file doesn't actually get installed a...
