Hello all,
My apologies if this has already been answered - I searched and did not find a similar issue.

On the ZoneMinder webui, I have found that the Montage page doesn't respond to inputs from Width, Height, Scale, Layout or EDIT LAYOUT. These errors show up in my log when I try to use them:

I have tried changing browsers to be sure it wasn't Chrome, and tried from multiple computers in my house - all have the same behavior.

I'm running ZoneMinder v1.34.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and accessing it through Chrome Version 79.0.3945.130 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10.

It seems to be an issue with the underlying javascript, and unfortunately I am just not that good at troubleshooting js... so I'm hoping someone on here knows what's going on or how I can troubleshoot it.

I expect problem is fixed in 1.34.1 which has been released today and packages are building.

Thanks for letting me know - I'll test it out once it's available!

Update is avaliable

Thanks for letting me know the update was available - I had to add the 1.34 ppa to get the new update.

Upgraded to v1.34.1 - still the same issue with Width, Height, Layout, and EDIT LAYOUT, but Scale works if I reload the page after making a selection.

I seem to recall this working in an older version (not sure which) where you could switch these selections and get an instantaneous change in the bottom pane.

I should note that I still have some custom layouts in the Layout drop-down box from my initial messing around with ZM. These won't load, but they are still in the list. Error listed is:

I'm wondering if this is maybe an issue with my database -- I'll try to look at the contents later to see if I can find how the Layouts are stored.

Did you ever figure out the layout issue? I'm having the same problem. 1.35.4

No, I never found a solution.

I'm still having the same issue in 1.35.6

I just pushed a fix for when the layout has invalid json in it's Positions. So maybe that will fix your issue.

Do any of your layout names have weird characters in them, specifically "?

Look in javascript console for earlier errors. Right click, Inspect => Console
