Great project, I don't need ZM on a stick atm but I've decided to download the torrent and let it seed to help the project get off the ground.

Sorry my screenshot was wrong above in fact I did place it in the PATH_FFMPEG box.
Here are my perssions for the /dev/random folder do they need changing?

Solved that worked thank you very much.

One question why isn't this filled in as default after a new install?

Hi, I've running ZM 1.28.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 however I'm unable to export events to video. I get video generation failure message. I've set my system up using the issac connor build and followed the official instructions. I've ticked is the ffmpeg video encoder/decoder installed, however the path to ...

Hi, I've built a new ZM Ubuntu server. However I've set up a background filter to delete events older then 7 days however it doesn't work. Use to work fine on my old installation. If I run the filter manually it works OK, just it doesn't work in background mode. Am I doing something wrong? http ...

Hi,

My system works fine but I notice I am also on 1.28.2?
Do I need to do anything? will it update when I do a apt-get update?

Hi,

I've just built a new Ubuntu 14.04 ZM 1.28.2 box and noticed in the easy instructions regards changing the innodb_buffer_pool_size.

Does anybody have any step by step instructions on how to do this? I am still new to Ubuntu so it would be helpful if somebody could advise.

Its a very strange one, I decided to start again from scratch and this time everything is working as expected. ZM is running in VMware and the VM sit on A NAS drive, I ran a test on the hardisks in the NAS and against the memory in the VM-Ware host and it all came back good. Other VM's where working ...

I'm not sure what happened mysql appeared to screw up and I don't have the knowlege on how to fix so I've end up re-building the machine.

Hi,

I've just built a new ZM box on Ubuntu 14.04 with 1.28.2 however when playing back events it only appears to stream the first 2 frames then just pauses, however live streaming works OK and if I view the stills there appear all to be there? I setup following the easy instructions.

Hi,

I am receiving the following error message when starting up Zoneminder, how can I fix. It use to be OK then got this OK.

Unable to connect to ZM db.SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)


Using Ubuntu 14.04

Oh brilliant what I needed works fine on my iPhone, I think a iPad sized app would be the icing on the cake!

My camera is set to 15FPS, when using LIBVLC the FPS often drops down to about 1FPS, If I log into the camera I can see it running smoothly at 15FPS. If I swap over to FFMPEG I then get smears but it always streams at 15FPS so I much prefare VIBVLC. Any explanations what could be causing the low ...

This is fantastic news, Most CCTV software boasts about been able to view on tablets/phones. This is handy for when your away from home. Eyezm was good whilst it lasted but its now hard to get it working without hacking about.

So far so good, However when I have my cameras set on libvlc there now stream at a shocking framerate of 1.4fps where before would stream at 15fps, sometimes the camera does jump up to 15fps but then slows back down to 1.4fps. When I switch to ffmpeg it works fine, however I suffer from smudges in ...
