Woohoo! Yippee! ZM is running at startup. :D My problem was looking more and more like an intractable user error, so I reinstalled SUSE and ZM. Problem solved. Card was detected and configured during OS installation. Selected Card Type > Other Vendors > "Kodicom 4400R (master)" or "Kodicom 4400R ...

Hi! When the card was installed, I entered the options in modprobe.conf.local: alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133 tuner=4,4,4,4 linux:~ # dmesg | grep bttv bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded bttv: using 16 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv ...

Hi! Thank you for checking your config settings. When I run lspci, I get: 02:0c.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) 02:0c.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11) 02:0d.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree ...

Good morning, Mikael. The card was installed according to the wiki using modprobe bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133 I can confirm the increased buffer setting in /sys/module/bttv/parameters/gbuffers and card settings in /sys/module/bttv/parameters/card. I look forward to reading your findings ...

Corey, Apache user is wwwrun:www (/etc/apache2/uid.conf) After ZM started manually, ran ps -Af.

Hi!

When I boot into runlevel 3 and run the lsmod command, it indicates the bttv modules are loaded.

Good morning! 1) Yes, ZM works if started manually, but fails (dev/vid in red) if started on boot. 2) No, I can't say with certainty that the bttv drivers are installed by the time ZM starts, but that's due to ignorance on my part. Linux is new to me. I can tell you that ZM is the last item to load ...

Yes, I can confirm that I have a /dev/video0 device file. I'm using a Kodicom 4400R card and currently testing with 1 camera. No /dev/video0 errors when I start and stop ZM via console or command line. I rec've /dev/video0 errors only in relation to attempts to run as service at system boot. zmdc ...

Decided to ask for help before I broke something. Installed ZM under SUSE 10. Everything seemed to be working, so I decided to tackle the init script. Created and installed init script according to the info kindly posted under Hints & Tips. When the system starts, the Console indicates ZM is running ...
