 Priority:  minor                |   Milestone:  unknown

 System: Mythbuntu 8.10 Alpha 6
 Zoneminder: 1.23.3
 mythzmserver: head

 Under certain circumstances (Possibly in all cases), Zoneminder 1.23.3
 appears to be using the default value field for setting ZM_SHM_KEY rather
 than the normal one. This occurs on a vanilla install of mythbuntu 8.10.
 This results in an incorrect shared memory key being used

 mythzmserver output:

 When this occurs there is only a black box shown for a live feed.

 I have patched zmserver.cpp and zmserver.h to try the default key value if
 the main one fails and this works on my system (ie I get a live video
 stream).
