Hi, for a long time I am using zm 1.23.3 with a 100% stability just perfect!!

Now I want to try the newest version 1.24.2 but I am not sure because the stability, i don't want to restart the box every week or to fix a lot of bugs (of course I do to cooperate but not in this box).

Thank you.

i had it running with a pico2000 board and 4 analog NTSC cams, only for monitoring (not rec or modect) and works perfect.

I don't think 1.24.x is a mature code ready for production. My own tests demostrate this afirmation, at least with my hardware.

I thoght that, no ZM 1.24.x for production.

Thanks a lot.

I agree.. not yet.

i agree although mine runs stable the interface is some what unfinished and buggy

I have two identical machines and both are running ZM 1.24.2. One works great the other ZM keeps locking up. I have to kill the process and restart the machine...

The only difference I know of is the good one is running ffmpeg SVN r17117 I downloaded on Feb. 10, 2009 and the one that locks up is ffmpeg SVN r19928 downloaded on Sept. 20, 2009.

I know ffmpeg does great things, but it has always had it's share of problems.

Maybe this weekend I will have enough time to rebuild the problem machine using the SVN r17117 of ffmpeg.

What versions is anyone else using?

Running/testing ZM 1.24.2 from SVN, Ubuntu 9.04 Server, on P4 2.8Ghz with no problems - my ffmpeg output:

Keith, how would I get that older version of ffmpeg? I tried going here (svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg ) but timed out.

EDIT: I tried that in command line. I also tried just going to the link part through TortoiseSVN and also timed out.

Also I just started getting this error out of nowhere:

"/usr/local/bin/zmfix: error while loading shared libraries: libavutil.so.50: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory.
failure"

zdunham,

I haven't compiled it yet, but we should be able to get older revisions from SVN. Using my old version number of 17117 I just issued this command:
It looks like it works, but like I said I don't have time to compile it now. I will try to compile it and reinstall ZM on the weekend and see if my second machine is any more stable.
