Everything works! but live streaming does not - either in ZoneMinder or ZMNinja

Check if streaming works in the web interface. If it does not work, zmNinja won't work either. Fix ZM first

Everything works! but live streaming does not in ZMNinja (works in ZoneMinder)

Go to zmNinja settings and fix your cgi-bin path. the automatic path that is filled in won't work. Here is a hint, go to zoneminder->options->paths and check the value of the cgi-bin path - your zmNinja path will be "base path of your server" + cgi-bin path.

I have 20 monitors but zmNinja only shows 10

Go to developer settings - increase the limit.

It doesn't work

It does. If you need more help, please enable Debug Logs (Developer Settings) then please look at the logs and let me know what you see.

My events is stale

Tap on the "..." menu option and tap refresh. Alternately, exit events view, load another view, and go back to events.

I'm using mocord/record and I don't see events without alarms

Tap on the "..." menu option and toggle "Show all events". By default, it shows events with at least one alarm frame

I've configured multiple users in ZoneMinder with restricted access but even restricted users can access everything in zmNinja

The APIs don't support user roles yet. I'm working on enhancing the APIs to support roles - it works in my local version (as of Dec 9 2015). When I merge the patch zmNinja will automatically work with roles.

The Timeline is useless for me. Why only 200 last events?

But it looks really cool, doesn't it?

The timeline uses vis.js which renders all events to the DOM at once. It doesn't have the ability for partial rendering triggered on scroll. This means its very expensive and based on my testing more than 200 slows down a mobile device and depending on your desktop speed, you can crank it to 500+ (or more for a more powerful server). You can change the setting of # of events in Developer Settings and experiment
