How to Enable/Disable Decoding for Specific Monitors via API?
Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2025 3:23 pm
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!
