Topic: Possible New Cross Platform Client

I would be using the Linux client now if it supported authentication. That is kind of a deal breaker. :) Well. It wouldn't be hard for it to check the sqldb to validate a person and give them the same permissions as the webgui. But the way I have it setup now, Beyond just streaming, it will need ...

Possible New Cross Platform Client

the following information is to see if something like this is needed by enough people. I know there is a windows client under dotnet and a c++ using QT that's cross platform, but that one didn't not work well for me. If I make this for just me... it would not be very USER friendly, so I would need ...

Do you already have something that is sending data to the com port or do you need to know how to get some input into the com port and then software to trigger on the that data. If there is something already hooked up.. what type of data is it sending. Is it some kind of system that will notify you ...

just a note to say I have not forgot about this. I get that error also with your file. with just a little looking around. I seems to be an error with the huffman encoding... Now.. is it when the jpeg is being written at such a low percentage or is it when it is being read that it is corrupted, I ...

Just a thought. are the jpegs made with the default libjpeg or one of those optimized mmx or sse ones. In case its not with ffmpeg. I would be willing to take a look at some of your jpegs if you want. Just post a link to them.

I'll use ffmpeg and mencoder to test.

yeah.. was one of the first things I thought about. I did something like this with a windows solution when I was trying to figure which cat was pissing everywhere (hard to tell when you have 10 cats) It saved BMP better than making AVI's. Funny to watch all those cats running around at high speed ...

Thanks for the info, but I already understand how to use ffmpeg and mencoder, etc. And I figured out how zoneminder is doing its current movie making and what direction I will go processing the data. I was asking if people wanted any more features than what I am designing into it to meet my current ...

How much control are you looking to have. The solution I think I will use is to modify the filter function to allow merging all the generated videos or create a input file with all the jpgs to pass to generate video. It doesn't look to hard and I want to make it integrate well into the current ...

I am looking into this for a client. I was hoping the filter option would work since it has a check mark for "Create video for all matches" but it does not seem to be working with a few quick tests or its working and I cant find the file its making. I figured it would do one of two things... make a ...

If you happen to be using a capture card like a BT878 with a single chip handling 4 camera's... all cameras need to be the same setting/resolution to work correctly.

yours is doing what I think is happening to mine... its mixing two different camera images together. In your video you can see some hallway in the flashes of lines. If I view a live stream with no movement it doesnt happen.. when there is movement the lines show up but they are NOT comb type lines ...

I have discovered that you can not have different resolutions on different ports on one chip.

It would be nice if it did work (solutions anyone?)

also.. sometimes changes like that seem to work when you reboot the hardware.. sometimes the chip does not reset right with just a zm restart

I am also having an issue with lines like that. I wanted the guy to buy an intel chipset mobo but he had a VIA one lying around and we put a pentium D925 with 2 gigs of matched memory. we have a PV card from blueberry with 8 chip/8 ports and an unknown card with 4 chip/16 port (using one port per ...

important things to know are... (just to scratch the surface) -- what res you want captures in.. 640x480 320x240 (or their PAL counter parts) (check your cameras lines if a composite, that will tell you the most you will need) (IP cameras are a little different and use a little extra cpu power) what ...
