with the patch you are able to rotate a picture just for a single stream, and only the stream (not the webinterface picture, not the camera input).
e.g. you have
Code: Select all
http://localhost/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=50&maxfps=5&user=foo&pass=bar&rotate=90
(note the rotate option!)
which will result in a 90° rotated multipart jpeg stream. as is said, i use it with a small java application, which just pulls and displays the image. i avoid to rotate the image on the "thin-client".
if you want to give it a shot, you need to download the patch into the source directory where you are building zm from. then run
and configure, make.... as usual
maybe it would be useful to get access to the rotated image via the webinterface (i.e. for PDA users). could be a flag for each user: "degrees to rotate streams"
