does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the First Alarm Frame number to be sent with each MonitorInfo broadcast? Don't you mean MonitorEvent? Otherwise, I'm confused. I am looking to get the first alarmed frame number Sorry that I'm being so late to respond; but, to be honest, I rarely ever ...

Yes, there is a link to the download page embedded on the wiki. It is the same as where you would have originally downloaded zmxap. The current release is now v0.8 and has been posted.

hope to see this soon It's done. I just need to complete final testing and then package it up. It will be posted NLT sometime tomorrow. Changing/resetting runstate is performed by sending a xAPBSC.cmd message to the gateway (not one of the endpoints) w/ state=on and text={runstate} where {runstate ...

Perhaps just an additional parameter (e.g., runstate) to the Monitor block in the VMI.MonitorCmd schema? Actually, that doesn't make sense since VMI.MonitorCmd is directed to a specific monitor and runstate is global. Since there isn't any other (yet) form of global control, perhaps allowing zmxap ...

Are you referring to zmxap? If so, I've been thinking about adding this capability. Perhaps just an additional parameter (e.g., runstate) to the Monitor block in the VMI.MonitorCmd schema? I'll have to look at whether an additional action "verb" (other than the current "start") would be needed or ...

pcalleros, Seeing xAP broadcasts but cannot create an event on ZM. Any suggestions? Do you have a xAP hub running on your zm server? If not, do you have nohub=1 in the zmxap.conf file? zmdc[4213]: ERR ['zmtrigger.pl ' exited abnormally, exit status 13] If you're wondering whether these are related ...

If youd like me to host em on my site let me know Thanks James! For those interested in out-of-the-box uses of zmxap, a new screensaver app from mi4 will display live video and play a (user definable) sound in a windows screensaver on new zm alarms. As the screensaver app is actually a server, it ...

Madmax, I just set you a copy off-list. I hope that I've resolved the issues w/ access to zmxap. I apologize the delays in resolving and getting back to you. If problems recur, please do let me know.

I do not mind my logs filling up I've just posted the latest release (zmxap-v0.5) at http://limings.net/xap/zmxap. It should be much better about recovering from zm restarts (shared memory pointers are then changed) and not polling monitors set as none. In addition, it now fully supports the new ...

pcalleros - thanks for validating that. I'll repost when the next release is available (tomorrow evening). In the mean time, the only real problem/inconvenience is the zmxap is filling your logs with unuseful info. I realize that this may indeed be more than just inconvenience, but all events for ...

The errors are regularly timed. Any chance they are at 5 min intervals? If so, it is clear where the problem lies (I think). I have 3 of the 8 ports disabled. By disabled, do you mean setting the zm monitor's function to None? If so, then this confirms my suspicion that I am not properly handling ...

Hmm, you should never see a transition from idle to alert. Is this definately happening? I am definitely seeing the transition from idle to alert; but admittedly by polling shared memory. My previous polling interval was admittedly too long (1s) and I have since chopped it down to 250ms. But, with ...

I think these errors occur when a script is still reading from shared memory that is no longer there if a cam has been shut down etc. Yes--I used to see these kinds of errors when I was directly reading from shared memory prior to using your API. But, zmShmRead is now protected by the internal call ...

from/to idle/alarm states ...ooops. Meant to say from/to alert/alarm states. Previously, I was only seeing an event transition from idle to alarm (0 -> 2) --never from idle to alert to alarm (0 -> 3 -> 2). It's the latter that I'm seeing now. I'm assuming that the "pre-alarm" alert states reflect ...
