How to Enable/Disable Decoding for Specific Monitors via API?

Post by deekshith »

Hi ZoneMinder Community,

I have integrated 50+ cameras into ZoneMinder, and I'm using H264Passthrough with decoding disabled to optimize CPU usage.

To improve monitoring, I’ve created an additional application that cycles through 5 randomly selected monitors for real-time viewing using ZoneMinder APIs. However, I couldn't find an option to programmatically enable or disable decoding for specific monitors when needed (e.g., enable decoding only for the 5 monitors currently being viewed in my app).

Is there a way to control the decoding settings of a monitor dynamically through the ZoneMinder API or other means?

Any guidance or suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thank you!
