Stream Zoneminder VLC

Here is how to stream Zoneminder video stream through VLC. This is similar to my post of streaming ip camera's to VLC, however now your streaming it from Zoneminder with the time date stamp.

Open a new text file and enter the following:

http://zoneminder-server-ip/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=100&maxfps=10&buffer=1000&user=username&password=password

Dont forget to change the ip to your zoneminder server ip, and the username and password. I recommend creating a non admin account for this. and monitor=1 to the camera you want to view from ZM. 1 would be the first camera hover over the camera url in ZM to find out the monitor ID.

Save the file as ZMStream.asf and play it with VLC. Thats it!! Now you have a camera stream in VLC with ZM Timestamp.

XAMMP Redirecting

XAMMP Redirecting to splash. After installing xammp and going to http://localhost and clicking on a language, I keep coming back to splash page. To fix this you need to change the permission on the lang.tmp folder, enter the following:


chmod 775 /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/lang/lang.tmp

Now it should work no problem.
