[Solved ]Can't add usb camera to Zoneminder master 1.35.5~20200714143209-focal

Zoneminder master 1.35.5~20200714143209-focal
When I try to add USB camera monitor to ZM-Consol , I have got a popup message stating "Palette must be set to a valid value & Format must be set to a valid value" .
I have set Device format = 255 & Capture palette to 0

[DVB Hardware]

Pallet to me also means color ?
8 bit grey, 24, 36 bit color
did the camera work with a previous version of ZM

Yes ,It is possible with previous version of ZM , as you get letters in the cages of Device format and the Capture palette so that you can easily select . In the Zm master issued on 14/7 and 16/7 , in those cages you get only numbers .At present , I have created web cam monitor on zoneminder using the url of camera streaming using Motion Linux.

Small hake for now.
Click on browser Inspect option and find this.

Code: Select all

<tr>
  <td>Device Format</td>
  <td>
    <select name="newMonitor[Format]">
        <option value="PAL">255</option>
        <option value="NTSC">45056</option>
        <option value="PAL B">1</option>
        <option value="PAL B1">2</option>
        <option value="PAL G">4</option>
        <option value="PAL H">8</option>
        <option value="PAL I">16</option>

        <option value="ATSC 16 VSB">33554432</option>
    </select>
    </td>
</tr>

For now manually alter values in browser Dev Tools (Chrome).For both "Device Format" and "Capture Palette".

Code: Select all

<select name="newMonitor[Format]">
    <option value="255">PAL</option>
    <option value="45056">NTSC</option>
    ---
</select>

Code: Select all

<select name="newMonitor[Palette]">
  <option value="0">Auto</option>
  <option value="1497715271">Grey</option>
  ---
</select>

Note: Only change the option that you need to select.

Hi aparajit
Thank you very much for providing us a good solution . Now the monitor is working !.

[bkjaya1952]

This problem has been solved by Mr. iconnor and included in the latest release of Zoneminder 1.35.5~20200721193536-focal . Now the USB Camera monitor can be added without any problem.

Thanks.

I have the same problem here.

I'm quite certain that

Device Format = 255
Capture Palette = 0

are for correct for my webcam. When I try to save from Monitor > Source, Zoneminder 1.34.19 complains

Palette must be set to a valid value
Format must be set to a valid value

Same problem when I install afresh or upgrade from 1.34.16. Perhaps it was a trivial bug introduced somewhere in between.

With 1.34.16, it works just fine. My operating system is Debian 10.5 Buster.

Thanks all for your good work.

Make this change by hand to your system:
https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminde ... f7e64d76ab

It'll be part of the 1.34.20 release, which will be "soon".
