A Linked monitor will not trigger an upstream monitor after zone changes

Post by lk777 »

I am experiencing the following issue with the linked monitors.
My setup:
A High Resolution monitor (Nodect): Linked Monitor - Low Resolution (Modect) *(Storage JPEGS, Video writer - disabled).
Everything works until I change/add zones on the Low Resolution monitor. It will not trigger a High Resolution monitor any longer after these changes.
And only zoneminder service restart fixes it.

What version of ZM? I fixed an issue like this back during 1.35 development, but am fairly confident in the code now.

And one more.
Just do not want to start a new topic:
Ubuntu
/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api
not all files have the right ownership, at least, in my installation they were root:root instead of www-data:www-data

It flooded logs with the cake permissions errors.

Update:

Now it is v1.36.5
It is not only changing zones (as I initially thought) but even opening/closing zones breaks monitors link.

It has been mentioned on a few threads. Either a ZM restart or a change of the monitor type (then change back) will sort it.

thanks Magic, that's reasonable. I'll give that a shot. Still a little new to ZM
