Multiport with Zoneminder and ZMninja and FireFox
Posted: Tue Nov 09, 2021 8:15 pm
Zoneminder version: 1.36.10
Ubuntu: 20.04.3 kernel 5.11
ZMninja version: zmninja pro 1.6.4 running on ubuntu desktop 20.04.2 kernel 5.11
Cameras: 19 total
We have configured Multi-Port on Zoneminder following this guide from zmninja: https://medium.com/zmninja/multi-port-s ... 836a336c93.
Issues:
- There is no change in ZMninja. It still has the staccato streaming. The logs in it show "DEBUG ZMS Multiport reported: 0" and "DEBUG Multiport report:false". I've cleared the API cache and even tried a different device using ZMninja 1.6.9, but still same thing. I looked at the API using this guide https://zmninja.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... g-api.html, and APIs are working. They were working before multiport was enabled as well.
- Tried opening Montage in FireFox, but it just hangs and drives the load percentage way up.
Workaround on the desktop:
- Found someone who said they used chromium when FireFox wasn't working viewtopic.php?f=40&t=30684&p=122407&hil ... um#p122407. This seems to have done the trick and multiport works in chromium just fine.
@asker or anyone else who has been through this on ZMninja, is there a setting that needs to be tweaked in order for multiport streaming to work?
I realize ZMninja is eol as of the end of 2021, but have really enjoyed using it both on the desktop and iPhone and would like to continue until the end of year, but with multiport working if possible.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
