Initialization of streaming video is intermittent

[itsthemedication]

I have ZM working on a machine with an S3 graphics controller. When I bring up streaming video, sometimes I get the stream, and other times its a white box. If I shift to a different screen size, say 4x or 1/4x it will (sometimes) come back. Still picture option always seems to work. The message I get is "error in jpeg file."

I have two cameras attached and I have slowed the frame rate down to 5 fps. The system is usable (using stills), but I am wondering if this is just an old video hardware type problem (the CPU doesn't seem to be stressed at all). Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar problem.

Thanks.

Try right clicking in the video frame and selecting "This Frame --> Reload Frame".
If this becomes an irritation, another solution may be to select Options --> Tools and set ZM_CAN_STREAM to "no". Then Mozilla will use the cambozola java aplet.
