ZM 1.25.0 Performance Patch - Completed

[dvarapala]

xlib_shm relies on a specific shared memory layout, of which i changed and might change again in the future if new features are added.

Is it possible that these changes to the shared memory layout are the reason that zmtrigger.pl no longer works?

[mastertheknife]

Thanks for reporting, I'll tackle this in the next few days.

Hi,

zmtrigger.pl is now working like expected.
The error was caused by me, in my changes to Memory.pm.in. I blindly copied code from another function in the file to another, not noticing a small difference. This broke shared memory writes from perl and is the reason zmtrigger.pl (and perhaps others) weren't working.
Please re-download the source, re-run configure(important), make and sudo make install:
http://github.com/mastertheknife/ZoneMi ... /perfpatch

This can be used to test zmtrigger.pl when in doubt:

Code: Select all

echo "<monitorID>|on+30|99|title|desc|showtext" > /dev/tcp/localhost/6802

Yup, that did the trick - triggers are now working again.

Hello,

it's possible to have your patched version included in the latest svn version ?
or have another svn source ?

Thank you

I want to thank you for your excellent work!
I run ZM 1.25 on an 1.65ghz P4 mobile with 2 analoge camera's on an cheap ebay card and the average cpu load has an performance increase of 25%!
And also the native BGR24 support is an great new feature!

But I got 2 minor issue's.

1) Your scripts has an install location for the HTdocs dan default. (var/www/zoneminder/htdocs) that's no problem but an new user have to be aware of that. (o fcourse is configurable at the ./configure command)

2) Can you update your GIT source with my updated NL_NL translation from this post? it got a lot of corrections for the dutch language.

Hi,
Glad to hear

1) It was just an example.
2) I think something like this should be added to ZM's SVN repo instead, because my git is simply ZM SVN revision 3522 (latest) with my changes applied ontop of it.

Hello Master K. , could you update your svn source because the latest official svn fix a bug with jpeg streaming when you do not use cambozola with latest firefox

version 3522 Le Vendredi 24 Novembre 2011 (Your older SVN source)
Version 3535 Le Lundi 12 Décenmbre 2011
Version 3578 Le Jeudi 29 décembre 2011
Version 3579 Le Samedi 31 décembre 2011
Version 3614 Le Mercredi 11 Janvier 2011
version 3639 Le Mercredi 25 Janvier 2011
version 3648 Le Mercredi 29 Février 2012
Version 3648 Le Lundi 26 Mars 2012 (Already the latest official SVN source)


Many thanks for the JOB

mm the ZM config table is empty after an power distribution at my homegrid.. and this was also happening when I upgrade from the 1.25 distro to this performance patch GIT version. Does somebody know why this is happening? I can repair the table by loading the default settings from the initial create table&load script but that's not the way I should work!

Hi,

The changes between 3648 and 3522 are not in the trunk. This means that for us, there is no difference between 3648 and 3522.

So I've made and work around for it, an updated script from the zm_create.sql and made a post here with an how-to handle
