Xlib shm

2006-12-06T12:57:06Z

Maciekc:

Current version - 0.6.3 is intended to use with '''zoneminder 1.22.3''' only.

If you want to have it for other zm version please write to me, or change zm shm structures in code.

Xlib_shm is a program that allows you to view live stream from zoneminder on machine which you are running zoneminder. 
It is small and fast, it is more cpu friendly than mozilla:) 
In this version you can change your monitors with keyboard. 
You need to have graphics card that support RGB32 in xvideo. 
My Nvidia Riva Tnt 1 works OK. 
 
I tried to add support to UYUV, but it consumes a lot of cpu. 
It doesn't make sense because zm stores images in RGB24. 
 
If it doesn't find compatible xv adapter it tries to use ximage. 
 
For changing/disabling cameras use keys: 
1 2 3 4 
q w e r 
a s d f 
z x c v 
 
In single mode you use only "1" 
In quad "1" "2" "q" "w" 
In 9 monitors "1" "2" "3" "q" "w" "e" "a" "s" "d" 
In 16 monitors - all keys 
 
For changing modes use: 
5 t g b 
"5" - single 
"t" - quad 
"g" - 9 monitors 
"b" - 16 monitors 
 
In command line you need to specify your id's of monitor which you want to look at 
example: 
./xlib_shm -m1 -m2 -m3 -m4 
 
Command line parameters: 
-x - x position of first monitor - default 0 
-y - y position of first monitor - default 0 
-w - width of a window - default x resolution 
-h - height of a window - default y resolution 
-k - shared memory key - shm_key - default 0x7a6d2000 
-m - monitor id(max 32) 
-d - delay between getting images in us - default 10000 
-c - how many cameras at start in row and column - 1 single, 2 - quad, 3 - 9monitors, 4 - 16monitors 
-i - info
