Details

zmNinja PTZ function apparently sends something which ZM interprets as "onmousedown" event, but does not send "onmouseup". My PTZ script is designed to be press-and-hold to pan, tilt or zoom using onmousedown and onmouseup. It successfully sees the onmousedown and starts the movement, but apparently zmNinja does not send anything that can be interpreted as "onmouseup" when the pan, tilt or zoom touch is released. So the camera just starts moving and either goes to its full endpoint or else just keeps going round and round.

zmNinja sends standard up/down/left/right commands. The way it works in zmN is if your PTZ script advertises "continuous" movement, zmNinja will use moveConLeft, moveConRight etc commands (instead of moveLeft, moveRight etc). That decision is made here.

zmNinja does have a "stop" button, which you can use to stop the move. The stop translates to moveConStop for PTZ.

OK. I looked through both the readthedocs and the google docs help, and there seems to be nothing about the PTZ functions or where the "stop" button is. Unless I'm overlooking it, the help document doesnt even list the controls interface, just a bubble stating that it exists. Searching for PTZ produces nothing (apparently the help document is all images, no searchable text?)

Looking at the controls display in the app, there doesnt seem to be anything that intuitively looks like a stop button. Where is this stop button?

I do not mind attempting to embellish and improve the help file, the documentation, or even the code (probably high risk!). Your controls interface is actually pretty darn good implementation given the tiny real estate.

Stop button:

Note that in the ZM PTZ config, you can also configure an "Autostop" which will automatically send a stop after X seconds.
