+know. Apple wants you to contact them directly using
+<a class="reference external" href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084">this</a> link.</p>
+<p>For Android: If you’re not happy with zmNinja and have bought the app,
+please <a class="reference external" href="mailto:pliablepixels&#37;&#52;&#48;gmail&#46;com">send me an email</a> <strong>with your
+order id</strong>.</p>
+<p>Note that depending on how long ago you made the order, I may not be
+able to refund. Its not my policy - The app/play stores disable the
+refund option. For example, I could not refund an app a user purchased 2

+<h3>Read the app description<a class="headerlink" href="#read-the-app-description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Both the Apple and Android stores have a clearly visible note on the app
+description that it requires a working API for ZoneMinder. If you are
+not willing to ensure the API works, please save yourself and me time.
+I’m sorry this is the first post, but I get emails from too many
+entitled/rude folks about APIs not working. Not my problem. Read below.
+Breathe.</p>

+<div class="section" id="try-before-buy">
+<h3>Try before buy<a class="headerlink" href="#try-before-buy" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Some users legitimately look around for an option to try before they buy
+and they are not savvy enough to <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja">download the
+code</a> and
+<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja/wiki/Running-zmNinja-from-Source">compile</a>
+themselves. Fair enough. In that case, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja/releases">download the Desktop
+version</a> of
+zmNinja. It’s free and is the same code as mobile. Make sure the desktop
+version works before you buy the mobile version.</p>
+<p>The reason I don’t have a “trial mobile version” is that I find the
+process too complex using in-app-purchases and chose not to do it to
+make life simpler for me. As a substitute, I do make the full code
+available for free and offer a desktop binary version free too.</p>

+<p>Yeah, look - I understand zmNinja won’t work if ZoneMinder web console
+doesn’t work. That being said, I really don’t have time to help you
+debug ZoneMinder issues. I only develop the app (zmNinja). If you can’t
+set up ZoneMinder properly, please post your questions in the <a class="reference external" href="https://forums.zoneminder.com">ZM
+forum</a>. You’ll find more qualified
+people to help you. I don’t develop nor control ZoneMinder. It’s a
+different set of folks. Now, I’ll help you, but only after you have
+spent sufficient time trying your best and provide sufficient logs of
+what you have done. Also remember, if you buy zmNinja, <strong>I’m happy to
+refund it anytime - just send me an email.</strong></p>
+<p>In short, I don’t have the time to support ZoneMinder install issues -
+sorry about that</p>

+<p><em>Sigh</em>. I don’t maintain ZoneMinder. I only develop the app. <em>You</em> need
+to make sure ZoneMinder APIs work. ZoneMinder web console doesn’t use
+APIs. Neither does zmView. zmNinja does. It says so in the description
+of the app in the store. So feel free to fix your APIs, or ask me for a
+refund. Just don’t whine to me, please, if your APIs are broken. I’m
+<em>not</em> going to fix them for you, especially if you act like its not your
+problem. <a class="reference external" href="https://medium.com/zmninja/no-soup-for-you-42ac0927952">I’m perfectly fine if you choose not to use my

+<h3>I can’t compile zmNinja, help me!<a class="headerlink" href="#i-can-t-compile-zmninja-help-me" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>I put out the source code, so people who know how to compile are able to
+do it themselves. I also hope this will encourage folks to PR changes
+(though this has rarely happened). The problem however, is that
+dependencies/libraries keep changing. I just don’t have the time to help
+debug. If it happens to me, I’ll fix it. If it doesn’t I have very
+limited time to remotely debug your setup issues. I’d much appreciate if
+you figured it out on your own. Feel free to create an issue after
+you’ve tried enough, but I can’t guarantee I’ll spend a lot of time on
+source code compile issues.</p>

+<li>Its often hard to infer a problem especially when its due to some
+unique apache/nginx mungling you might have done but haven’t told me
+about it. In such cases, try and give me remote access to your ZM for

+<li>I have released the desktop version free - download it
+<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja/releases">here</a>. Its
+always easier to debug on the desktop version - give it a try. If you

+<p>Sorry. I’ve made several releases where due to programming errors,

+v1.3.025 for Android, I’ve introduced the facility to sync with the

+by default. This means if you uninstall the app and install again, the
+settings should get restored. Note that both in iOS and Android, backup
+schedule is managed by the OS. You can force a backup going to settings
+and forcing a backup, or wait till the OS backups (typically a few
+hours/phone plugged in/not being used)</p>
+<p>Do also note that 1.3.027 and beyond use a new WebView called WKWebView
+(because iOS deprecated the old webview). If you disabled iCloud you
+will have to re-enter your settings again (only once). This may not
+affect Android, but I don’t know for sure.</p>

+<h3>I can’t see streams: I use basic auth<a class="headerlink" href="#i-can-t-see-streams-i-use-basic-auth" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Starting Chrome v59, the browser changed basic credential behavior. The
+issue report is
+<a class="reference external" href="https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=435547#c33">here</a>.
+Here is the core issue: zmNinja constructs URLs as
+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">http://user:password&#64;server</span></code> when you have basic auth (and starting
+v1.3 uses the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Authorization</span></code> header). However, since images are
+rendered using <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;img</span> <span class="pre">src&gt;</span></code> there is no option but to put in a
+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">user:password</span></code> in the URL. Chrome allows this format for direct
+requests (such as API calls) but will strip out the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">user:password</span></code>
+part for <em>embedded</em> requests (like <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;img</span> <span class="pre">src=&quot;&quot;&gt;</span></code> tags inside a page).
+So what happens is your APIs work, but you won’t see images. There is a
+reason why Chrome does this - its bad to pass on a user :password in a
+URL as its clear text (even if you are on HTTPS, as its in the URL). As
+I said earlier, The <em>right</em> way to do this is to replace the
+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">user:pass</span></code> with an <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Authorization</span></code> header but there is no way to do
+that with images that are rendered with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;img</span> <span class="pre">src&gt;</span></code> (There are several
+plugins that attempt to do this, but don’t work with streaming MJPEG
+images). Bottom line, this is a problem for apps like zmNinja and it
+affects you.</p>
+<p>How this affects you: * If you are using HTTP Basic Authentication</p>
+<p>Then your images won’t show.</p>
+<p>Possible Workarounds: * Configure your web server to skip basic
+authentication for <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nph-zms</span></code> URLs * If you are using a ReverseProxy,
+you can insert the authorization header inside the apache proxy *
+Disable HTTP Basic auth for now * Downgrade Chrome</p>

+<blockquote>
+<div>A proxy server should be on the list of recommendations for
+Zoneminder. HTTPS requires processing to encrypt and decrypt. This
+takes processor cycles away from Zoneminder’s recording. Since HTTPS
+is now basically a requirement, there should be a page dedicated to

+ZoneMinder uses <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ffmpeg</span></code> to extract frames from timestamps and

+<p>You are likely using Chrome (Android or desktop version). Chrome allows
+a total of 6 simultaneous connections to a domain/sub-domain. ZoneMinder
+uses a long running TCP stream for each monitor display (keeps sending
+jpeg images). This means you can only display 6 streams at a time in
+Chrome. I work around this problem by <em>not</em> asking for live streams in
+montages - I ask for ‘snapshots’ and keep refreshing snapshots every 2
+seconds. This makes montage display non-realtime, but scales to as many
+monitors you have. In Event Montage however, I am using zms to display
+long running streams - trying to do snapshots in event montage is a lot
+of work and I need to keep track of when the event ends, move to next
+image etc. I limit this to 5 because I need 1 for control messages.</p>

+<p>Yes. Starting 1.3.027 onwards, due to a new UI web rendering engine that
+enforces CORS, I’ve had to change my strategy on how network calls are
+made. Briefly, on mobile devices, I now use a native HTTP stack and not
+the browser HTTP stack. However, images are rendered using the browser

+Summary of reasons why zmNinja might have stopped working: - You did not

+<ul class="simple">
+<li>zmNinja uses a different approach to display montage than ZoneMinder.
+In zmNinja montage screen, I display a snapshot of each monitor and
+refresh it every few seconds. This results in many short TCP
+connections constantly being opened and closed. The reason I have to
+do this is Chrome only allows 6 connections to a domain, which means
+if I don’t keep terminating TCP connections, I won’t be able to show
+more than 6 monitors. Each time I open a new TCP connection for a
+snapshot, the ZM backend invokes mySQL to authenticate the request.
+You will need to increase mySQL <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">max_connections</span></code> in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">my.cnf</span></code> if

+<p>zmNinja uses an embedded chrome browser in its app. If you have safe
+browsing enabled, it may affect zmNinja. However, if you are facing this
+problem, its likely you can’t access ZM from a mobile web browser

+<p>The best way is to simply look at an existing language translation and

+unique <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--path</span></code> arguments with each instance because otherwise one
+instance will conflict with another.</p>

+<p><strong>NOTE</strong> If you want to run it on your desktop, you can directly
+download desktop binaries
+<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja#desktop-platforms">here</a>
+and if you want it for Android/iOS you can get from the play/appstore.
+This is only for those who <em>want</em> to run from source.</p>
+<blockquote>
+<div>Note: If you are building from source, you are mostly on your own. I
+have very limited time to debug environment differences/package
+differences between what I have and what you may have. I’m not a
+nodejs/grunt etc expert and stuff seems to change all the time.</div></blockquote>
+<p>Version note: The code is compiled using the following versions of
+tools. <strong>If you are using newer versions of ionic the code may not
+compile - I don’t have the time to upgrade yet. Finally, if you choose
+to go the source route, I expect you to spend a lot of time yourself
+debugging first before you create an issue. Even if you do create an
+issue, I have very limited bandwidth to debug source compilation issues
+for you.</strong> Thanks.</p>

+<p>Note: You need to be doing this on a mac, with Xcode and the SDK
+installed. You also need to have your developer certificates/etc. (I am
+not going to detail this out - there are many internet resources on
+this)</p>
+<p>There are a few steps you need to take to get the iOS build working for
+the first time. If you don’t do this, you may get a compilation error

+<p>This does not produce an iOS ready ipa. What you need to do then is to
+open <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">platforms/ios/zmNinja.xcworkspace</span></code> in Xcode, and run.</p>
+<p>To compile a debug build for iOS from command line, from zmNinja project
+root: First edit <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./build-auto.json</span></code> and change the
+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">developmentTeam</span></code> id to yours. Then:</p>

+</div>
+<p>To compile using XCode, open <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">platforms/ios/zmNinja.xcworkspace</span></code> - You
+need to use “Legacy Build” system if you are on XCode 10+. You can
+change this in XCode <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">File-&gt;Workspace</span> <span class="pre">Settings</span></code> and then build usual.
+Also switch to the Capabilities tab and make sure “Remote Notifications”
+is on in Background Modes and in iCloud section, Key-Value storage is
+enabled. If you see a “Fix issue” there, clicking on that button
+resolves everything.</p>

+characters in your monitor names/zone names this can cause issues. Edit
