Yeah, the posted patch was wrong. Leaving HTML on messed up the patch, even though it was in a code block. It will be posted once I get the thing to post correctly.

I put the patch on the ZoneMinder Wiki

I posted a patch in the user contributions forum to fix the "Incomplete frame" problem. Here is a link to my post:

This patch adds a loop when reading from the frame image pipe. I was getting occasional "Incomplete" messages (in which case, the frame is dropped), even though the whole frame was sent to the pipe. The problem is that all the data was not available in the pipe for zmf when it read from the pipe ...

Here is a simple patch that will restore the video control settings when zm is restarted when using a v4l2 driver. *** zm/src/zm_local_camera.cpp 2009-04-10 09:49:56.000000000 -0500 --- zm-andy/src/zm_local_camera.cpp 2009-04-17 10:55:16.000000000 -0500 *************** void LocalCamera::Initialise ...

Using the packed attribute fixed the fps problem, but I had to take out the two /C after the paused field that were already in the SVN code to get zoom right. This is my current line: unpack( "ltype/imonitor/dfps/istate/ilevel/Cdelayed/Cpaused/irate/ddelay/izoom/Cenabled/Cforced") Is this problem ...

Right, and int is in fact 4 bytes on my 64 bit system. I believe the real problem is is how g++ deals with structures, here is a little test program I wrote to figure out what really is going on. #include <stdio> #define FIELD_OFFSET(strptr,field) ((char*)&((strptr)->field)-(char*)strptr) main ...

Here is my info:

Yes, I am on a 64-bit system.

I do think the problem is related to 64-bit and possibly the version of gcc/g++ that is being used.

I was having a problem with incorrect fps and zoom values in live and montage views. I found that the following change seems to fix the problem. Line 94 in web/ajax/stream.php reads something like: $data = unpack("ltype/imonitor/dfps/istate .... I changed it to: $data = unpack("ltype/imonitor/C/C/C ...
