Hello

First time here.

Hi, previous user of zm, thinking of coming back to the fold. Wanted to attempt to develop a 'timelapse' ability for zm. Not a c++ developer normally, though I have been researching some of the code, and I am keen to learn.

I have cloned, created my feature branch and stumbled into my first problem....how to compile :P

Whytey: I can help you , I've made a time-lapse tool already

Whytey: when you return you can find me on twitter @moe_alam if you want to chat about it :D

is the correct ZMS path: /cgi-bin/nph-zms ?

or, better question, where is it supposed to be?

found it at /usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms

the_k_: I believe it should be /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms

i don't have /zm

ah, is this a file path or web-hosted path?

host path

woo! working

the only problem now is that ubuntu isn't giving me a terminal on the server where i wanted to display the video feeds

i have to ssh to it to do anything

oh, i'm also still getting the same error.. getStreamCmdResponse stream error: Socket /var/run/zm/zms-366925s.sock does not exist. This file is created by zms, and since it does not exist, either zms did not run, or zms exited early. Please check your zms logs and ensure that CGI is enabled in apache and check that the PATH_ZMS is set correctly

its probably an issue with the camera source. look at the setup guides again.

even if i can see the video fine?

in zm

In 1.30.4 I just found that nobody can edit/delete/new the monitors in a group as those options are always greyed. Any ideas?

the_k: if you can see the video fine in ZM then it is working. if you are still getting the error try restarting ZM

barjac_: look in the options under user, maybe something is wrong there?

tony1: I just did but I see nothing there relating to groups

barjac_: when adding a new user you can assign them to a group. you can select a group as either view or edit. maybe you have your user as view only?

tony1 g2g but thanks I will keep digging.

barjac_: seems to work ok for me, maybe restart ZM for user's to kick in?

tony1: Tried that - what exactly works for you?

something like this works for me. http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user...

Titler: Options - Users — ZoneMinder documentation

tony1: thanks!

tony1: Yes thanks I finally found it - however I have no idea how it was changed as I have had the same settings for years.

not sure? but I am glad you have it working
