I resolved my last problem on my own after posting here, so maybe I'll get lucky and do it again.
I've got things setup and now I'm trying to connect a few cameras. I'm connecting using the cURL method and providing credentials and a path to the video.
I'm just seeing black screens.
Upon checking the log, I've found the following messages repeating:
2014-09-05 22:07:20.207711 zmc_m4 22539 ERR Failed requesting writeable buffer for reading JPEG image. zm_image.cpp 993
2014-09-05 22:07:20.206846 zmc_m4 22539 ERR Held buffer is undersized for requested buffer zm_image.cpp 314
I've done some searching and the only things I can find is the source code on github.

Any quick ideas? Thanks
