Yes, my solution though involves writng C code to access the card directly (there are no v4l drivers for it) and present the fames as jpegs via HTTP.

Not finished, but getting close.

onina, I was asking badone, as you have already posted the version you are using ;) Thx though :D Of course, remiss of me. [root@fc6dev ffmpeg]# svn info Path: . URL: svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk Repository Root: svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg Repository UUID: 9553f0bf-9b14-0410-a0b8 ...

Is this the lastest ffmpeg from svn? What SVN version is it? It would seem that they have changed the location of the header files :evil: If this is the latest ffmpeg, you will need to cange the code in ZM to reflect the new location and let us know what version of ffmpeg you have so we can track ...

The ffmpeg configure line should be ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-swscaler to enable this support. So you need to update to the latest ffmpeg as it's too tricky to track each API diff that they make and support them all. ZoneMinder now will only support official ffmpeg releases (which haven't ...

Thanks W,

You give good advice, I shall attempt to contact the man and see how he would have me proceed.

Thanks again to all.

Have you seen this page on the wiki? http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Vpipe No, I hadn't thanks felix. So, there appear to be a few ways to do this. One is to alter the source for zm_local_camera.cpp so that it talks to the XED board, two: add a zm_local_xed4040_camera.cpp file and make ...

Here is a patch that will get it to compile. *** zm_mpeg.cpp 2008-04-08 11:13:09.000000000 +1000 --- zm_mpeg.new.cpp 2008-04-08 11:14:23.000000000 +1000 *************** *** 277,287 **** if (!(of->flags & AVFMT_NOFILE)) { /* close the output file */ - #if ZM_FFMPEG_SVN - url_fclose(ofc->pb); - #else ...

Then I am on my way, I'm staring at it dumped to a file as chars Many thanks W, I will post my progress here so maybe we can add another card to the supported hardware list hey?

Hi W, I'm actually at the point whre I can capture raw frames from the card driver now. Am I correct in my assumption that I have come to that the raw frame is essentially a jpeg or mjpeg frame or is it RAW (I'm new to video but not new to programming, file formats, etc.)? I will take a look at zm ...

OK, I have started looking at this. The sample code I have provided by the card manufacturer does an ioctl call to /dev/xecap0 to get the size of the buffer and then memcpys directly from a memory map of the dev file to an SDL_Overlay's pixels field. IIUC this represents a "frame", can anyone ...

OK, thanks James, so the concept is not way off the mark? Has anyone done anything similar to this?

Motion jpeg? UDP server then?

I have a machine running linux with one of these cards in it: http://www.comartsystem.com/AM/PRODUCTS/dvr_board/xed/ I know there is no direct support for this card in Zone Minder and that the driver for this card does not use the V4L interface/API. What am I am contemplating is this. Write an ...
