Montage with 4 Monitor only showing 2 feeds

Post by ManxMann »

Hi Folks,

I hope someone can shed a little light on a small problem I'm having with ZM 1.21.3. Ok first off system config as follows:

P4 2.8GHz 512Mb Intel 8801 Chipset
4 Input Single Chip BT878 card (ebay special)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Hoary)
Apache2

NO - ffmpeg, lame, crypto

Ok the system has 4 PAL B/W camra's connected, each configured for Modect and everything is working like a charm!

Now for the problem, if I choose montage I get the window up with 4 video feeds however only 2 acutally show video the other two remained unloaded.

Viewing each cards monitor window induvidually works and as I say all channels seem to be recording and would appear to be able to do so all at the same time.

What I have noticed however is that I can only call up 2 monitor windows and watch the feeds. If I call up a third the window appears but is never populated.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Could it be a resouce issue in Apache?

My browser is Firefox 1.06 on Windows XP.

Many thanks for any replies

Regards

Simon

This is a known issue with Firefox.
In the url type about:config

scrolll 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

This will get it working.
