Montage / X-wide grid

Post by brononius »

Hey,

I've went over some different topics regarding the montage view. It seems that it depends a lot of what browser you're using. Sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn't. Fe IE seems to need the cambozola java option, Chrome doesn't like the sockets nor the cambozola. The videoviews are a bit jumpy when you use cambozolo. CSS isn't covered very well.. Sometime I'm getting 2-wide working, never the 3-wides. When I put it on default, and scale it to fe 1/3, it works automatically?

What I've done so far to get the montage view a bit working:
  • Webserver (linux): Put the Cambozola.jar in the root folder of your web (/usr/share/zoneminder/www) and change the owner (fe chown www-data:www-data cambozola.jar)
  • Zoneminder optiontab Images: Cambozola java: YES, web path: cambozola.jar
  • Zoneminder optiontab X-B/W: Browser streaming: auto, Stream-method: JPEG
  • Zoneminder optiontab System: css files default: flat
  • Zoneminder: Create a group to put your monitors in
  • Windows Client pc: java control panel: add your zoneminder IP in the security tab
Conclusion so far:
  • Windows / IE: works for the montage view, but the CSS isn't the flat view...
  • Windows / Chrome: Is working, as long as you keep the montage view layout on default (when you select fe 3-wide, it jumps to 1 colomn)
  • Windows / Firefox: Seems to work.
  • Linux Mint / Firefox: Only 1 colomn working (strange thing, when you click on layout, nothing happens, when you click beside a video, a new 'empty' window opens with in source a 1?)
  • Linux Mint / Chrome: Only 1 colomn working. (strange thing, when you click on layout, nothing happens, when you click beside a video, a new 'empty' window opens with in source a 1?)

I'll test it a bit further in the upcoming days, but seems that the CSS / montage view isn't the same for all browsers... :$

There is a fix for Firefox to use the montage:

Enter about:config in the address bar

scroll down to
browser.cache.check_doc_frequency 3
change the 3 to a 1

browser.cache.disk.enable True -> False
network.http.max-connections-per-server -> put a value of 100
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy -> 100 again
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server -> 100 again

Install Cambozola

cd /usr/src && wget http://www.andywilcock.com/code/cambozo ... est.tar.gz

tar -xzvf cambozola-latest.tar.gz

replace 935 with cambozola version downloaded

cp cambozola-0.935/dist/cambozola.jar /usr/share/zoneminder

With the trend to not use a Java client the Cambozola procedure was not included in recent Ubuntu/Debian install procedures...
