mjpeg from ZM to touchscreen

Post by johndpar »

I have a touchscreen (AMX) that can display mjpeg video if I can give it a URL.

Is this possible with ZM?

I'm a newbie and before I invest too much time in ZM I'm just checking oiut some of its capabilities. I've trawled this forum and the wiki but not found any clues yet.

Many thanks

John

It should be possible. ZM is simply feeding jpegs to an apache server. something like

www"your server"/cgi-zm/zms?mode=single&monitor=2&scale=100&maxfps=5

this would give you 5fps at full scale for the second monitor in the list.
The actual code would vary slightly based on how your system is set up but that works on mine.

This should work:

http://YourServer/zm/index.php?view=wat ... &scale=100

Note that mid=2, the 2 would be replaced with the id of the monitor you wish to watch.
