Hello, I finally got my hands on a really generic bt878 card, that abrely has anything more than the bt878 chip on it. after much trial and error, "rmmod bt878ñrmmod bttv; modprobe bttv card=77" at least gives me something resembling images on all four inputs, even though the modprobe takes ages, ...

ok, so i tried insmod-ing the bttv module with different card=n options, to no avail. am i doing this correctly? insmod bttv.ko card=103 loads the bttv driver with: [44156.860336] bttv0: using: Grand X-Guard / Trust 814PCI [card=103,insmod option] but he other 3 bt878 chips still get loaded with ...

Hello, I just found a 16 port capture card with 4 BT878 and one PLX technologies PCI6140-AA33PC (PCI-to-PCI bridge)chip on it. The card has 4 BNC connectors, and a internal "IDE style" connector used to connect 12 additional cameras using two "VGA connectors" (15 pins, each). I'm just interested ...

all i get with a test script is: 03/16/08 23:32:15.654832 zmfilter[22022].ERR [Auto execute script '/tmp/zoneminderScript.pl' not found, skipping filter '_TempFilter1205731933'] and the script is chmod 777, runnable by apache (and any other) user under shell and cgi. and i triple-checked that i ...

could you check /tmp/zmfilter.log for errors?

in my case there were some errors there, which i still couldn't get to work. maybe we have the same problem, and could work this out together.

try editing /usr/bin/zmupdate.pl , and eithe comment out (or delete) the line 'use strict;', or add a 'no strict 'subs';' after that line.

Hello there. I just can't manage to get the option to run a command when a filter matched to work. I have a little script in /tmp/zoneminderScript.pl that is world readable and executable. All it does, for starters, is to write the event-line that it got passed to a file. This works when called from ...

Ok. It seems that zmtrigger.pl can be used to trigger events from outside of ZM (although i still haven't got it to work - the docs are a bit lacking, i think. can zmtrigger read from STDIN?) But the more important part of my question (for me) was how to get ZM to call some external command when an ...

Hi! Is there a way to configure ZoneMinder, or a specific Monitor to run a linux command when an event occurs? The reverse would be very interesting, too: triggering an event by calling some command from outside of zoneminder. I seem to remember that there was a comamnd for the latter, but can't ...
