ZoneMinder Forums

Thnx for those links.. Now I know for sure that for some reason my logitechs do not work with ZoneMinder anymore :( Quickcam Pro 9000 is a much newer cam than my cams.. it's 046d:099* and there's no reason why it should not work with ZM. My cams are not buggy with linux, because they work with every ...

Any ideas which cams are non-UVC and which are not? :) I have 6 logitechs and they're all 046d:08d* .. I like Zoneminder and I'm going to buy new ones but it would be nice to know which usb-cams actually work with ZM and which does not. I had these cams with ubuntu 8.04 and zm1.22-1.23 and ...

I have exactly the same cam and other logitechs.. (046d:08d*) They all use zc3xx driver and they do not work with zoneminder for some odd reason.

They work with xawtv and motion.. but for some reason not with zoneminder.

I confirm this.. it works after adding that line! Very nice work indeed So you didn't waste any time.. hopefully this will be added to 1.24..

Thnx for the answer! I disabled swscale and recompiled zm again. Now it's like this: syslog: Feb 26 15:03:06 router zmc_dvideo0[5659]: INF [Starting Capture] Feb 26 15:03:08 router kernel: [278266.060014] zc3xx: probe 2wr ov vga 0x0000 Feb 26 15:03:09 router zmc_dvideo0[5659]: INF [Got signal 11 ...

Hello, Now I've tried the latest version of ZM with Ubuntu 8.10 64bit and here are the results. zmdc.log says: 02/26/09 08:18:31.754029 zmdc[28998].INF ['zmc -d /dev/video0' starting at 09/02/26 08:18:31, pid = 31649] 02/26/09 08:18:24.614057 zmdc[28998].ERR ['zmc -d /dev/video0' exited abnormally ...

Looks like a driver issue, What is at the tail end of dmesg when you have ZM running? What happens if you run xawtx and capture jpeg snapshots from it? Yea I've been thinking about that too.. because it's starting to be the only thing what I can't change in any way.. i think.. dmesg doesn't output ...

I know.. but I'm getting tired.. I've tried everything that I know and zm still refuses to work and it seems nobody knows why

and btw.. zmu doesn't output anything if you get "exited abnormally, exit status 255"

I bet that zmu doesn't output anything for him..

So I think that it is gspca with the module zc3xx. Yeah same here and the same errors as you... [32054.304018] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 [32054.495438] usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [32054.498216] gspca: probing 046d:08d7 [32056.148100] zc3xx ...

Because I'm out of ideas i'm just going to ask what modules you are using for your cams? Could a faulty module do all this?

I tried to compile gspca from a source but it didn't work because it can't find semaphore.h for some reason.

I'm joining this club.. in case you didn't see my previous posts

Okay a new thread with new errors. A fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 32bit and zm1.23.3 from source. Configured with: ./configure --prefix=/ZoneMinder --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin --with-webdir=/www/html/zm --with-webuser=www-data --with-webgroup=www-data When adding a new usb-camera (ID 046d:08da ...

I know man i know And I've fiddled with zm and ubuntu 8.10 since ubuntu's release.. it just refuses to work

Yea I think shared memory is no longer the prob here. Now it's something like: Jan 28 07:08:15 router kernel: [222973.700432] zc3xx: probe 2wr ov vga 0x0000 Jan 28 07:08:16 router zmc_dvideo0[22418]: ERR [Sync failure for frame 1 buffer 2(1): Invalid argument] Jan 28 07:08:16 router zmc_dvideo0 ...
