More than 5 views in the montage for zmninja?

[michaelh99]

I've got a zm configuration with 7 active monitors but only 5 show up when go into the montage view.

I can't find any settings to control the number of view available. Oddly enough my wife's phone shows all the views.

1) Try hitting the refresh button in montage (two circular arrows) at the top
2) Go to developer settings, make sure Max monitors in montage is not 5
3) If you and your wife are using different login accounts in ZoneMinder, make sure your account does not have restricted monitors specified in ZM web console settings (not zmNinja)

That's all I can think of

Hi

I have a similar issue. However it shows all selected cams (>20) but only 5 across. How can I tell zmNinja to arrange more than 5 cameras in one line? I'd like something as a 10 x 2 layout at the bottom of the screen...

I just realised this is about the mobile app... I try to do this on a MAC desktop.... any help appreciated!

thx, regards, and keep up the good work, great SW!

This is a different issue. zmNinja uses 20% as the minimum scale for each image - hence 20% * 5 = 100%, which is why you can't have more than 5 monitors across. How many monitors are you looking to organize per row?

I see what's wrong. You're counting disabled monitors when deciding how many to show in the montage.

For example, I have:

Camera1
Camera2
Camera3 (disabled)
Camera4 (disabled)
Camera5
Camera6
Camera7 (disabled)
Camera8
Camera9
Camera10

I had 10 monitors in dev settings but only 7 were showing when I opened the montage. I'm not sure how the count went from 5 to 7 except perhaps I'd rearranged the cameras in ZM, resulting in more showing up.

When I changed the max monitors to 12, all my enabled cameras showed up.

My recommendation is to not count disabled monitors in the montage. You're already filtering them out for display but you're still incrementing the counter you're using to track against the max allowed.

One request...

When the montage view is refreshed, you maximize the views to occupy the whole screen. Could you also do this when the montage is first opened?

Good catch. I'm not a good coder, so I need good testers
Can you please create an issue here https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja

Probably around 10 or so (meaning beeing able to go to 10% minimum scale)...

It would be grat to have 2 rows of cams on the bottom of our monitoring screen and therefore see 20 cams in total.

done - the next release will allow you upto 10

great!

BTW: why is it limited at all? Why not just make a configuration for "A x B" grid?
