what you should however do is turn debug logs on and post detailed (uncut) logs that covers the initialization part as well as the part around the time it timeouts and post it to the forum (make sure debug logs are on). I'm sure the devs will find it useful for the future

I will do that tomorrow

asker, any chance we will be seeing zmninja for ARM desktops?

shibboleth - arm-linux?

yeah

like, using a raspberry pi for displaying montage

so if you have a platform ready, I just made one for it

no idea if it will work, but you can try

ok?

link?

dependencies?

no idea

should run out of the box if it runs

needs to have a GUI stack though

it does

won't run on a headless system

but i can only browse the archive, won't let me download

download the zip?

yeah, doesn't work

there is an arrow on the top

click it

yeah, doesn't work :)

push it to github?

works for me even if I'm logged out of google

yeah, that last link works

yeah, tons of deps :)

interesting - the linux ones work out the box

Anyone happen to recently try to use an old IPhone with ZM?

I found software to get me a video stream but the image on ZM looks like an bad 'sync'.

I can see the image in VLC fine.

I see an unresolved thread there shibboleth - https://github.com/atom/electron/issues/1702 - I use electron as the app packager - but you are on your own - if you can figure out what to do, I'll integate it into my future builds

dcarpus - which version of ZM and which iphone viewer are you using?

1.28.1 and iPCamera.

Following http://angryelectron.com/iphone-as-a-zoneminder... as a guide.

ah so you are turning your iphone into a camera for ZM (not viewing ZM in iphone)

what do you mean by 'bad sync'

asker, libnotify, libgconf and libnss

and their deps

and you have it running shibboleth ?

yes

well, configuring it now

it works? holy moly

Yes. Using iphone as the camera not 'viewer'

ah

running 1.28.1

no api

yup

would you mind pasting the exact commands you had to do to get it working? I'll add a wiki

and make the arm part of my regular builds starting 1.0.6

which reminds me, you are the only one who has my incredible montage history view as of today

it looks like old xwindows when you did not have the horizontal sync settings correct (back when you had to do that kind of thing)

I demand your third child as a reward

ehm, minimal raspbian install with xorg and openbox, "apt-get install libnotify-bin libgconf-2-4 libnss3"

thats it? Then I demand $1500 too for making it so easy. Wait add 3 more 0's to it

any way to test it on 1.28.1?

you can add APIs manually

folks in the forum have done it for debian because the maintainer is well behind times

it basically entails copying the full api directory and updating htaccess and DB config inside the API

shibboleth - do you have a github id?

no

and please no not reference me :)

do not

ok

https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja/wiki/R... - thats all?

yeah

well, iceweasel/firefox was already installed

might have provided some other deps but idk

asker... I grabbed a composite screenshot and threw it up on google drive... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-QIVhquo5DoY3...

I added "Note: The system had X11, Firefox/iceweasel installed. You need a GUI stack on your system"

dcarpus - ah yeah, I remember this was related to some settings in ZM

do you have the right resolution and color depth in ZM?

try playing with them

so I guess I should add linux-arm starting from the next release

actually I'll wait till you get it working shibboleth - I have no way of supporting this - if it works I'll upload If not, I'll leave it be

idk if it actually works, the client says the connection is ok but API fails

right - so if and when you get to upgrade to the API version, let me know

if you find it working fully, I'll upload it

about the raspberry

there is no video acceleration for xorg, no driver

but it does have a video processor and even CLI tools which can use it

so if only the ZM server could generate the montage view as a video stream...

asker.. you rock. I feel a little silly having given up trying combinations.

dcarpus - happy to help. If you are very rich buy me an island. If you are not so rich, tell people ZM is the best software in the world

shibboleth - yeah, chances are perf. will suck

okay I gotta run, I have some chicken marsala with my name on it

if zm generated a single (or multiple, configurable) rtsp stream, omxplayer would do the trick

Not 'rich' , but enough that I can probably throw some into the 'donate'. And I still plan to tell people about ZM.
