Modified the script to allow for IR On/Off utilizing the Wake/Sleep functions. It looks a little cludgy, but it works.

Ignore that request. I screwed up my script and couldn't fathom how I'd managed it. I'm good to go, now.

TheKorn, can I get a copy of your script? I'm digging back into why my PTZ functioning stopped.

SOURCE CODE! Time to see if there's anything worthwhile:

No shame in that. My local big box only had the 5020L. I have a 2,000 sqft house. I don't exactly NEED the wifi extender.

I never looked at the difference between the 5010L and the 5020L. Looks like the only difference is the 5020L has the wifi repeater. Nice.

I haven't seen any corrupt packets, but I haven't been paying a ton of attention to it and I haven't had it for very long, either.

I've corrected the Wiki article to include an accurate script (which you may wish to copy to your 5010L description)

I found my issue. While your advice was correct based off of the information you know, it wasn't my issue. I'd taken the TVIP400 file and copied to another file and I modified the module name internally, so in my settings it WAS correct. They key to figuring out *MY* error was when I took your file ...

As the guy that added the 5010L, I was kind of wondering why you copied only half of it for the 5020L! :D I didn't want to add data that I wasn't sure was yet useful and accurate since I hadn't verified that it would work with the 5020L. Once it was working, I'd planned on going back and fixing it ...

I've determined through perl debugging that the error is coming from line 139 in zmcontrol.pl. If I look at the contents of $saddr, I get '#002'. I don't really know what I'm doing in perl, so that's where I'm at. ideas? 137 socket( CLIENT, PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) or die( "Can't open socket ...

I definitely feel stupid. Bad password on the Control tab of the monitor. I figured it used the same path as the Monitor's main tab. I was wrong. Sep 19 19:37:59 tv zmcontrol[29786]: INF [Starting control server 1/DLink-DCS5020L] Sep 19 19:37:59 tv zmcontrol[29788]: INF [Control server 1/DLink ...

Found this in my syslog, now just need to find out why I'm getting Permissions errors. 443 Sep 19 19:32:36 tv zmcontrol[27568]: INF [Starting control server 1/DLink-DCS5020L] 444 Sep 19 19:32:36 tv zmcontrol[27570]: INF [Control server 1/DLink-DCS5020L starting at 13/09/19 19:32:36] 445 Sep 19 19:32 ...

Found this in /var/log/apache2/error.log

Looks like it's forming up the shell command wrong.

Is that right?

I'm fairly certain that I do not have something set up exactly right. I bought a DLink DCS-5020L to start my ZM setup with. I'm using the setup instructions using the DCS-5010L settings (copied into its own section for the 5020L) but PTZ doesn't appear to work for the 5020L. Below are my settings ...
