morning

it is

I'm going to make another attempt at using gluster for ZM storage.

ic0n: good luck.

i'm currently trying xtreemfs... ic0n

yeah. the trick is mounting the gluster using nfs, so you can use noatime and nodiratime

I just heard about that for the first time yesterday. Let me know how it goes.

ic0n: atm it runs on a single node.. which is not the point of it. but i need to free up a second server to test it with network sync

of course i only store the event files on that fs.

that's all I'm trying to store too

ic0n: the other thing is putting the db in a HA setup.

yeah, havn't succeeded in that yet either.

there are few options. sadly.

Doesn't mysql natively support replication?

sort-of.. but that's not really HA because it is master slave ... sort of one-time failover...

and it is single master.. so it does not scale well. (not very important in our case)

So knnniggett, what do you want me to do with 998 (image scaling), withdraw it entirely, apply the kludge to the original code, or...?

linwood: Yeah, I think we need to do something different, but I'm not sure what. One thing I'm not sure I understand is how the problem manifests itself. If we are talking about array bounds exceeded, then does that mean the monitor crashes and has to be restarted?

What did you see initially that caused you to look into this?

No. What happens is that at certain magnifications (I think it is only in scale up), the image is distorted.

Each row shifts slightly to one side (right or left, I don't recall) so that overall the left side of the image

runs down at a diagonal with the right side shifted off and into the left side (or maybe it was the reverse).

This started with the unable to allocate errors. I first offered a +1 on width and height, you did that.

(Or someone), and then someone noticed this skew and changed the +1 to a bit later in the routine. That helped

but it still left some cases where the image was skewed. They showed up for me because I am doing lots of different scale sizes not

the standard 25, 33, 75, 100, 200, 400, etc. But I posted a demo program to show it scalling at different sizes so you can see it.

(Program = html page).

Right, haven't looked at the html page yet

That html is not working for me from work. Probably due to authentication. I'll try and run that when I get home and point it to one of my demo systems

asker: what is the syntax for embedding user credentials into the url? I forget

&auth=<token> or &user=xxx&pass=yyyy

yeah, the second one. thanks

I've just gone ahead and implemented auth= in the app if its enabled instead of always using user=&pass= (using the latter only if opt_auth && auth=simple)

Sorry, I don't have zm visible outside so don't use authorization. That script pulls a lot of images so it may be slow if you have a slow connection.

linwood: shouldn't I set "monitor=" to a value?

Yes, the questionmark there was meant to imply replace it (bad in retrospect as it looks like the URI start)

That's the two "change" statements above -- change the server-ip and the monitor number.

I still don't have it quite right. I need to look into this later

I've not tried it with auth on, let me rig it up and try that.

With auth on this works for me: monitorImageObject.src = "http://zm.leferguson.com/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=single&monitor=4&user=admin&pass=admin&scale="

in the mean time, I just undid a commit without exploding my code. I'm proud of myself.

The test is whether you explode everyone else's code. ic0n was blaming me for hours after my last one. :)

do the RTSP dropping packets really need to be a Warning?

who's up for some c++ oddness bug hunting?

would it make sense to add a --test option to zmfilter.pl --> this mimics the "submit" button mode of the web - and prints matches to the console ?

what is supposed to happen in C when you divide by zero.... ? when the zero is a double....?

ah... the result is inifinty... nice.

is the video storage branch supposedly to work with ubuntu 14.04?

i have to add some explicit cast in the src/zm_videostore.cpp file for it to compile, but even then, when I use pass through to write videos to disk, i got: 'invalid argument' error when calling avformat_write_header

I received my hosafe

my who is now safe

got no POE at home

have to fin a 12v 1a trans

simonpatapon, ive got that hosafe bookmarked

really interested in seeing some example streams if possible ... esp night time IR ones

one one also posted this one

as a possible candidate

hello anyone around? I need some guidance on how to create a new config parameter - where does the Config DB get populated? Its not in zm_create
