Yawcam Support

Post by Frosty »

I'm testing a ZoneMinder setup to see how well it'll work in a production enivroment. Because the only cameras I have to test with only work with Windows, I am trying to use Yawcam on a second computer to stream the video over the network in a way that ZoneMinder can work with. I set the output to "stream" and set the stream to "mjpeg" and verified that the stream could be accessed at the proper URL over the network, but I'm just getting a blue screen in ZoneMinder after setting it up (not unlike the commenter in the instruction article).

Any ideas as to how to troubleshoot this or is ZoneMinder just incompatible with Yawcam?

I would also like to get an answer to this.
I followed the same instruction and got the same result "bleu screen" with 3 logs repeating themselfs :

2015-09-24 18:58:47.638460 zmc_m1 1485 ERR Held buffer is undersized for requested buffer /tmp/buildd/zoneminder-1.28.1/src/zm_image.cpp 330

Also Zoneminder seems to open a crazy lot of connections to YAWCAM (and not closing them), 60+ viewer every second.

Well I will respond to myself.

My problem was with the definition.
Even if I had configured Zoneminder with Width and Eight with 320x240 and YAWCAM "Settings -> Stream" to 320x240 my webcam was still in 640x480 (Settings -> Device -> Format control).
So i change every settings to 640x480 and everything is OK now.
