Describe the bug Cant watch live video on ZMNinja on android. Montage shows black screen with three green dots, events are displayed with no still image (and cant watch the video inside), Can see the status of the zoneminder machine fine and the timeline is populated with the events, but I can't watch the content of any of them. I tried checking the cgi-bin address from the web console on a pc and it was the same as the android app (serverip/zm/cgi-bin), also tried turning on "Force MJPEG even playback" but it didn't fix the issue. The Monitor section shows all the cameras with a green check, but if I click "Live View", no video playback just a black screen.

I tested ZMNinja on windows and it works absolutely perfect, can watch live video, video from events, etc. everything works. I checked the settings to tried to match the android app settings, but its exactly the same. But android app shows no video.

If I open the zm web console on the android phone, I can watch video and everything works. The problem is only on the ZMNinja Android app.

Debug logs ZMNinja android logs (cleared the logs and then open the Montage section)

**Additional context**

I'm no expert by any means, but I think the problem is related to the error "Not active in processImageError for monitor x", I tried to google it but found nothing.

Its so sad because zmninja works so well on windows, I wish I could make it work on my android phone as well.

Thanks in advance.

hi, where can I get the version? In the Playstore is only v1.7.006

[connortechnology]

Apparently it was held up by google to answer health-app related questions. Have pushed it now, should show up soon.

Hi, yes I noticed the same thing, so I downloaded the v1.7.007 apk directly from the "releases" section of GitHub.
