Latest ZM + video Export

[tibetfreedom]

HI,
I have downloaded the latest ZM Via SVN and am having issues exporting events.
I have an event that is 10 "Events" long on one camera.
I select them all and can view as one if I select all the "events" in the camera "Week Log" then select View … Then select >Gapless Events
I can view the whole episode…
If I export as a movie only one sub event is saved.
If I export the export window hangs…
The only way I could export the whole movie was to export 10 small event movies and patch them together….
There must be simpler way…?

HI,

This is by design, generating a video only generates video for the current event.
I agree with you that this needs to be worked over. Maybe in the future i will create a patch that modifies the entire video generation to also allow generation of multiple events and allows the user to specify various options such as start time and end time.

If I export the export window hangs…

I have the same problem with latest versions of ZM from SVN. It says "Exporting" forever for both zip and tar, although the actual exporting works, i can see, download and open the exported file (located in the /temp folder) so this is some sort of notification issue (probably caused by latest mootools update) I'm clueless when it comes to java and ajax so i'm not sure where should i start troubleshooting.

Hi,

I fixed the exporting hangs forever at "Exporting..."
Apparently SVN revision 3149 (accidentally?) added invalid characters before the <?php tag, causing the headers to be sent too early and the response from the export to be invalid.

Thanks for that.
I mention the export of multiple "Events" because I had an indident where someone stole something and had to export 10 videoas and then patch them together by hand.
The videos were of the same event, however the server had split them up… possibly a second or so between clips, maybe I can make the trip less sensitive so an event incorporates more ?

I don't see that in my copy. That is a Byte Order Marker (BOM) I believe by the way.

Hi Phil,

Thank you for your response,
Indeed, it seems be utf8's byte order mark.

Please try replacing your file with a one from the SVN (after revision 3149) and try exporting an event. On my machine it says "Exporting..." forever and attempting to run the ajax request manually showed me a php error that header() failed because the headers were already sent at export_functions.php line 1.

Also, on my machine:
