Problem watching events

Post by chrilleman »

This maybe a stupid question, but how does you guys watch events??

When i am trying to watch events it may show at best 3 frames then the IE or Firefox will hang, now hang so that I have to ctrl-alt-del it but I cant access the zoneminder website until i close the website and open it again.

Is this a common problem? Have tried with 2 zoneminder installations and same foult.

I am using internet explorer 7 and Firefox 3.0.5.

Can it be a out of memory problem or something like that? Are there some good logs to look in to see why the "website" is hanging?

One more question, are there some way to set the bitrate on the output of the videos creating? When i record 640*480 the "mpegs" gets very blurry, but the still pictures that are taking as events are good quality.

Thanks for a great software, everything works great except this.

Regards Christian

I think I had the hanging problem when I tried to use cambozola (sp?) to stream in IE. When I uninstalled it and switched over to FF (I may have just reinstalled ZM since I'm not very good at Linux) I haven't had any issues since.

Not saying that's your issue, but my faint memory tells me I've seen this before...
