I would like to setup zm so that I can have the Day/Night change for my monitors.

However, when I create a new state, set the contrast, brightness, etc for each monitor it doesn't save these changes.

I have tried to first create the new state, then restart zm, set the params, and save the state again, still doesn't work. Whenever I change states the monitor params stay the same.

Ideas?

Thanks for reading.

Dittos here, stewhi. I vaguely remember reading about the location of the "state" files or at least the file that contained the state's code, i.e.: start, start, day, night, etc. I vaguely recall them being in either a *.pm or *.so file but for the life of me cannot locate them once again, nor can I locate the website that spoke of their locale.

I've also noticed some site seem to refer to them in a mysql query, when querying "select * from Monitors".

If anyone would care to shed some light on this, stewhi and I would be very grateful

My thoughts exactly discarn8. I have searched the internet over and cannot find a thing about this either. I know there were some problems similar to this in previous versions. I have tried everything I know to get a run state saved with the properties changed. I'm no SQL expert so I'll leave it at that. Anybody else out in ZoneMinder land having this same problem?

stewhi!? You still with me? Oh shazam... I think I've got it
