I'm getting the "Timeout waiting for output from CGI script /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nph-zms," error too. 1.23.3 never showed this problem. I think it is a 1.24 problem.

cannot start zm

I'm trying to get 1.24.0 working and have been dealing with ffmpeg. Zm never starts and zmpkg.log shows 02/13/09 14:50:24.187448 zmpkg[12705].ERR [Unable to run "/usr/local/bin/zmfix", output is ""] Running zmfix or ffmpeg from the command line gives the following error... zmfix:...

FYI - (and you may have suspected this) but if I make all my adjustments to memory/frame buffers/sources and then turn zmf back on it works ok. You just cannot make adjustments with zmf on.

I did that after reading about it later. It made no difference though. If the original setting worked I never would have had to change it. Any other ideas? Here is my current settings. Same error persists. max number of segments = 4096 max seg size (kbytes) = 66560 max total shared memory (pages) = ...

can't increase image buffer size

Running zm 1.23.3 with 2GB memory. Dedicated machine. 6 cams on a 8 chip PV-183. mem calc as follows... 320x240x8(greyscale)x100(buffer)x8cams=49152000+10%=540672000 or 64.45MB. So I set shmmax and shmall 68157440. (I have even tried it higher) Even though I ran the calc with 100 for a buffer it is ...

12 volts for 9 volt camera?

I have a 12 volt 18 channel power supply for my cams. Several of my cams are 9 volts however. Will 12 volts smoke them? If so what is the best way to step down the voltage? The supply is not adjustable. Should I just put a resistor inline or is there a better way? (Yes I know how to calc the resisto...

This bug was marked dupe and the one the it duped is marked fixed. The Firefox 3.1 beta appears to work correctly. It looks like anything with gecko 1.9.0.4 will work.

K-Meleon 1.5.1 (the latest) open source, free, gecko, but windows only, appears to work fine. It's fast too!

Any reason to not use ZM_OPT_FRAME_SERVER?

I tried ZM_OPT_FRAME_SERVER and it cut my load about in half from 1.30 to 0.58. Is there any reason to not use it? With such an improvement it almost seems like it should be the default.

This is kind of a crude hack but... I wrote a firefox extension that I think sort of fixes this. It simply toggles offline mode from initially on to off and back to on when you close a window. That closes the streams. It could potentially close streams you don't want closed I suppose. If anyone want...
