Zoom problem

Hi,
How can i have the zoom working (while tilt/pan works everywhere) ?
I mean it works only if i activate the "Use Keyboard PTZ Controls" in "the AbelCam Java Applets QuickCam" and use + and - keys on my keyboard.
But it does not work:
- In the java applet "Click on the vertical line to zoom" .
- In silver(light)
- In javascript ("error on set Position -- 404 not found").

I've tried with the "Use driver Zoom" turned on and off but the result is the same.

Thanks for your help ! Smile

Since nobody else has replied I will...

I tried your exact config (except that I used an Orbit AF cam) on a fresh install of 2.3.9 on XP Pro. Zoom worked properly, even with Max Zoom set to 5. That's why I didn't reply sooner; all I can say is it isn't broken here.

Did you modify any of the AbelCam HTML files? Maybe re-installing AbelCam or doing a Repair installation will help. Sorry I don't have any better ideas.

Tanks Melvin. I use it with a fresh install of Vista pro. All Abelcam files are originals. It was installed to "d:\program files\" so i tried to uninstall then use "c:\program files\" instead but same result Sad
Do you have the red dot in the java applet control ? because i don't have it either.
Strange...I think i'll send a support request.

Hello Marceau

this is a problem which has never come across my desk before.

Try to access the zoom / configuration URLs manually and observe the AbelCam Message window

eg.

- zoom cam 0: http://localhost:8080/zoom0-1.5

- get position cam0: http://localhost:8080/getpos0-0

change hostname / port number as required, also test from other computers - all these URLs should return text and no error messages.

If you get errors, please enable debugging (also for the web server) and send me the debug log (see support)

Hello,
you can close this thread, the zoom is now working correctly with the latest release (but in silver, it only works if driver zoom is disabled).
