random camera stream lockups, command line fix?

[alabamatoy]

I get seemingly random stream failures. I have found that simply disabling and re-enabling the monitor (click on the monitor, in the first tab, deselect "enabled", save it, then repeat selecting "enabled") cures the problem. I get log entries like:

Code: Select all

when this loss occurs. Disable the monitor, re-enable, all is working correctly.

Is there a way to disable and re-enable the monitor via command line (zmfilter.pl etc) so I can code a script to do the disable/re-enable when this happens? I could not find zmfilter.pl command line info in the wiki or the documentation, but I may be looking in the wrong place.

A bit more info would help. Linux distro, hardware, camera type, monitor settings, et. al.

Its 1.29 ZM on Ubuntu 16.04 The cameras are Foscam. I have another installation which is Amcrest cameras, rest is same. It does the same thing, but substantially less often. I dont really know how to tell you the monitor settings, other than its just set to record. Is there a conf file or something I can copy/paste?
