If you kbnow how (or can point me to a reference) i'd be thankful. Of course I looked up on zone minder web site and google, but foud nothing.
That's not so trivial. Besides having to find the correct options for ffmpeg (or menconde, or whatever) to turn the jpeg frames into an animation, I'd have to purge those images and their corresponding events from zoneminder database. And although having the images and recordings sent to the web browser as individual jpeg files, it becomes slow (more like a bad slide show) when network connectivity is not good, as usual from 3G networks. It wold be very nice having the ability to stream live video and recorded video from Fedora ZoneMinder. Anyway ZoneMinder without video streaming / encoding support is already much better than the proprietary software provided as part of my video capture card. :-) []s, Fernando Lozano -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
