Won't start capture without xawtv

Post by tfleming »

Philip,

Thanks for taking care of those 0.9.14 new install problems so quickly. The problem I had with Mozilla went away as well (I think it was the rapid refresh problem someone else brought up). Now I'm working with 0.9.15.

A couple weeks ago I stated that zmc wouldn't capture without first running xawtv. Here's the log:

Jul 21 05:01:12 sentry zmc-d0[4150]: INF [Debug Level = 0, Debug Log = ]
Jul 21 05:01:12 sentry zmc-d0[4150]: INF [Got 2 monitors]
Jul 21 05:01:12 sentry zmc-d0[4150]: INF [X:0]
Jul 21 05:01:12 sentry zmc-d0[4150]: INF [Y:0]
Jul 21 05:01:12 sentry zmc-d0[4150]: INF [W:320]
Jul 21 05:01:12 sentry zmc-d0[4150]: INF [H:240]
Jul 21 05:01:12 sentry zmc-d0[4150]: ERR [Failed to set window attributes: Invalid argument]

Any ideas? I've had this problem with other capture programs. One that does start up correctly is "camsource" if that helps.

Thanks

Hi Tim,

As I mentioned to in another posting a bit earlier, have you tried switch STRICT_VIDEO_CONFIG off as it will prevent this kind of error being fatal as often things can continue perfectly well even with this error.

Cheers,

Phil,
