After a long long time in diverse MySQL-, Ubuntu-, and Debian Forums i did the following steps:

1.] edited the entry in /etc/mysql/my.cnf from:

Code: Select all

#
# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
bind-address		= 127.0.0.1
#

to

Code: Select all

#
# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
# bind-address		= 127.0.0.1
#

after this step the Error Message was:

2.] added the the following entry in MySQL:

Code: Select all

mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP
    -> On zm.*
    -> TO 'zmuser'@'%'
    -> IDENTIFIED BY 'zmpass';

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

After that i got this Error Message:

And now?, any idea?

no none.
I can think that if you download the mysql query tool for windows (this is how i test mysql links) and check that works.

now i have changed Montior 1 from Monitor to Record.
The result is:

Any idea now?

yes , this is an issue i know about
If you look that entry has no endtime, frmaes etc and as such is an error in the db. If you view the event from the web i/f you will see it contains no infomation. If you delete this then you will be good to go

jameswilson,

First up just let me say your app is great! Took me a while to discover that there was an initial password of admin/admin but once sorted everything works well. Is the initial password in a readme somewhere, or did I skip over something I shouldn't have? I only discovered this infomation reading through this thread.

Now I haven't read this entire thread, but I've got one issue. When playing back events, when it gets to the end of the last event in the list, I get an unhandled exception. I can post a screenshot if that would be useful.

I also have a couple of feature suggestions if you have the time or feel the desire to implement:

1. A remember password option on startup. This could be a tick box or maybe even an option within the program where you could put in your username/password and ask it to automatically log in.

2. Some kind of option to allow viewing of only unseen events. I'd like to be able to click a button and have only the events shown since I last fired up the application. This might be a bit difficult though without database modifcations I suspect.

3. Is there a way to set a default view? ie I have custom view 1 setup - can I make it so this is always loaded on startup?

Bruce.

1 and 3 are already there,
for 1 there is this in the user tab, (autologin user 1)

3, if logged in as a user there is another settings button that shows that allows you to chnage the startup view from the default of 4

yes 2 would require a db edit and is quite a major chnage, if there is enough support for it this could be added.

You are right about the end of events, but there is a reason for this.

It lists all events even a current one, and as the event is current it cannot know when it ends so it fails. I might need to chnage this though so it handlkes the errror better

For remote view i use FEDORA 5 distr. With it I get 4-5 f/ps. But with windows xp SP2 I have some kind of dilay. I use internet explorer; mozilla firefox; and ZM4MS ofcourse.

I still dont fully understand, you are having a problem streaming all cams wether by firefox, ie or zm4ms? If you have a problem with ff then you will have an issue with zm4ms too, maybe you could slow the refresh rate?

Thank you very much for your posts!!!
I am sorry for my english!!!!
I have problem with i.e., firefox and viseon viewer on windows platform. 5 secounds streaming then stop for little bit.

well if you are remote and trying to use firefox for streaming then i assume you are using mjpeg an doubt you have enough bandwidth, but zm4ms should slow down to max the link out permanently. I have found issues with zm4ms and some outgoing firewalls like zone alarm but not the built in xp one. I would suggest you check the links are sustaining the speeds you require.
Coulod you send me your zm server details for these sites and i will test to see if its something else?

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 10:17 am

you have very slow or high latency upstream mate.

your achieving about 64 k a second maximum. Id chack what else is using that link and do a speed test on it if nothing else is. It just keep pausing and i think its a link issue not a zm issue. It certainly isnt a zm4ms or firefox issue
