With a nice gui this app would revoloutionize the DVR/Secutiry world.

I agree with you, but those damn customers keep asking for it... I am playing with all of these (this one, xlib_shm...) to see what is the most stable and with the lightest load. Reports to follow, some day.

I gave it a try on Ubuntu 8.04 with your hardy .deb.

zmviewer loaded at first fine. I then entered my Zoneminder's database information in the settings and it then crashed with the following message:
Now when I try to start the app again it crashes with the same error message.

I'll try a source install this weekend.

Source install works on Ubuntu 8.04. There was a problem with not finding the zmviewercore library.

I then fix the problem with:

This error was caused because when I built zmviewer for hardy, hardy was beta and Qt's version has changed since it became stable

Hello, I've just released a preview version of the new zmviewer GUI for testing purposes.

At the moment, only source code and Ubuntu packages are available for download, in the next few days I will be releasing a Windows binary.

This new version has a lot of bug fixes and improvements:

* a new revamped UI
* support for hashed authentication
* new multiple cams layouts
* cameras shortcuts
* bandwidth usage optimization

I think this GUI is far more pretty that the older one and has a big usability improvement.

Anxious to try, but it's telling me "access denied for database @", have tried both my zm users and mysql users. The "driver" section is blank on the "more" tab, is that relevant?

ok, an solved that problem, now it's running dandy. (Technically, I used synaptic, but I imagine either would do the trick).

Update: Ok, this looks cool. Definitely feels more boss-friendly. Can't get any events to play, though, immediately says "Event Finished".

Ubuntu 8.0.4, ZM 1.23.3

WooHoo! Will be testing!

I just compiled and installed zmviwer 1.6 on gentoo and it works if I manually enter a camera but not when I use the session function. I can connect to the ZM server with the session connect and it pulls down all the cameras but displays no images. The problem is that I had to set my apaches server on that machine to use port 81. When I manually add a camera and specifiy port 81 all works fine, but when I use session to import the cameras they all get defaulted to port 80 and I am unable to change it in the camera settings.

How can I correct the ports and use sessions.

Thanks

Check out the latest code from subversion's trunk, there I added the feature that you want.

I just downloaded the SVN but cannot build it. The readme says that it requires QT 4.3 and cmake which I have installed but when I go to build it it by running cmake .. in the build directory it gives me the following errors:

Warning: this project requires version 2.6 of cmake you are running version 2.4.6.

CMake Error: The Installed QT version 4.3.3 is too old, at least version 4.4.0 is required.

The only version of cmake in gentoo's portage is 2.4 even if I use the unstable version. I can recompile qt to 4.4.1 through portage, but the readme says qt 4.3 is needed. Does the readme need an update?

I guess I will wait for cmake to be updated in portage. Also does the windows client now support the new update that is in svn or is that a work in progress?

Thanks

I updated the README file in source code.

zmviewer need Qt >= 4.4 and cmake >= 2.6 to compile
