Weedy G. is having trouble with gentoo not ubuntu, hence http://bugs.gentoo.org

Is there any interest in ZM community in device that would interface real world (switches, pir sensors etc) to ZM? I am toying with an idea to build simple box that could react to external events (switch turned on/off, pir sensor activated etc) and send event notification to ZM over usb/serial and ...

One should consider legal consequences of audio capture as well. Here it is illegal to record conversation without written consent from person/s being recorded unless it is police doing that with court permission

One can set two separate events one that is fired when motion starts and another when motion ends thus imitating behavior of ZM motion detection. In that case no + sign is needed.

if you dont have ZM_USE_DEEP_STORAGE enabled, you might have hit 32k file (directory) limit. Check how many events are there for your old monitor.

Found in 1.23.3, but most likely present in all previous versions as well.

Is there a dev mailing list? Any opinions on which constitutes the best way to proceed? this appears to be mostly one man show (i might be wrong though) and the man is zoneminder himself :) try PMing him and ask as to what is best route in his opinion. I would go with either 2nd or 3rd option and ...

first of all, i am on Kubuntu, which probably does not make any difference. the path in your error messages looks strange to me. no surprise it can not read source files from /bin/something

raw as in uncompressed, ie, if you can get series of values representing rgb values of pixels, you are on your way of getting it work with ZM

statement about jpegs and mjpegs is true for ip cams, but you have capture card. when using "local" cameras ZM just captures raw frames (see src/zm_local_camera.cpp) somebody on the forums posted solution that uses v4l loopback driver to feed video to ZM from unsupported device, maybe you can use ...

i just tried to compile ffmpeg from svn on my kubuntu 7.10 and everything worked like a charm. only difference i noticed was that libswscale was at revision 26340, ffmpeg itself was at 12758. of course it gave me the usual bunch of warnings while compiling, but other than that, nothing went wrong ...

i believe, cordel knows what to do
