The latest versions of ZoneMinder have an API that is supposed to replace the XML skin.
It is only available starting Zoneminder 1.29. If you don't have
the API installed the client WILL NOT WORK.
What is ZM base URL, portal alias and API path
Okay, there are multiple ways you can install ZoneMinder. For example, let's say you access zoneminder via http://yourserver.com:8000/zm. Then, http://yoursever.com:8000 is the base portal URL and the alias is zm. It's important you get these right, otherwise the app won't be able to display the data.
What should I be entering in the Base URL and API URL?
The base url is typically of the format "http://yourserver:port/" (don't specify zm)
The API url is typically of the format "http://yourserver:port/zm/api"
But it depends on how you've installed ZoneMinder
I do not have authentication enabled but the app keeps asking me to specify authentication
If you don't use ZM authentication, just enter an "x" in both user name and password.
