Hi Jai,

I am playing around with a new install and in testing eyeZm, I got a feature set mismatch error.

Everything still seems to work fine. Is this in anticipation of 1.3?

Would my other installs need an upgrade to the XML install you provide?

BTW, still love the app. Worked great while we were away this past weekend.

Good guess! Feature-set mismatches can happen when the feature-set supported by your eyeZm app is different (either higher or lower) than what is installed in the XML Plugin. I'm guessing you are using p2fs2 XML plugin with v1.1 of eyeZm. v1.1 of eyeZm can support the "feature-set" p2fs1, but the latest feature-set published by us is p2fs2 right now. This is for v1.2 of eyeZm that is coming out anyday (iTunes is being slow!).

Like you notice, everything will still work fine since we retain compatibility within a protocol version (protocol-2). That notification is just letting you know that some features will not be present until you match up your feature-sets. You don't need to upgrade anything if you don't want any new functionality. Once eyeZm v1.2 makes its way to app-store, it knows it can support p2fs2, and you won't get that message when you hit 'Test Connection'.

I'm considering purchasing the Iphone app for ZM... but upon trying to install the plugin for my ZM installation, the install script fails, due to lack of FFMPEG support for mpeg-4.

Looking at the install script, I see it calls the following command:

ffmpeg -codecs 2> /dev/null | grep mpeg4

However, when I run the command by itself on my system, I get:

ffmpeg: unrecognized option '-codecs'

So, it's not necessarily that I don't have the support, but the command is wrong.

If I look for a similar command, I find that '-formats' does something similar. If I replace the above command with '-formats', I get:

DEVSDT mpeg4 MPEG-4 part 2
DEVSD msmpeg4 MPEG-4 part 2 Microsoft variant version 3
DEVSD msmpeg4v1 MPEG-4 part 2 Microsoft variant version 1
DEVSD msmpeg4v2 MPEG-4 part 2 Microsoft variant version 2

Which shows me I do have the appropriate versions.

Comments?

Thanks!

I responded to your email directly, but for the benefit of others, I think you are using a much older version of ffmpeg, since I have had a few questions from users with a similar issue.

If you want to give it a try, just replace the line you found in the script with -formats instead of -vcodecs and see if it works. Like you said, if it does in fact support mpeg-4, it should work, and it's just our installer is not advanced enough to catch this condition.

Let me know and we'll update the installer accordingly!

eyezm dont support https?

v1.3 will. As of the current version, v1.2, it doesn't, but we have started dev. on v1.3 and it will be released soon with HTTPS support.
