ZM with LML 4 port card only camtures B&W video.

I am running ZM 1.21.4 on an AMD 64 server with FC4. While everything is working great I can only capture B&W video. The analog cameras I purchased are color but when I tell ZM to capture using YUV422 the video has a red haze. I am capturing 3 cameras at 640x480 with the Linux Media Labs card.

Have you restarted zm after making the changes to the monitor?

Make sure you have the right entries in your modprobe.conf file. Also I think that the LML card neded a driver patch in previous versions, certainly to use the additional inputs. Are you cameras connected directly to the card or to the expansion connectors?

I only have 3 cameras attached to the main inputs. I did not even connect the other 4 inputs. I have reloaded ZM with every change I make by doing a "service zm restart".

Where can I find the patch for the LML card?

I think there is a link to it on their website. However I have an LML card in my box and I'm just using a stock FC4 install. I have it working ok, with just the primary inputs, I think I just have the following

Code: Select all

alias char-major-81 bttv
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias char-major-81-1 bttv
alias char-major-81-2 bttv
alias char-major-81-3 bttv
options bttv card=77,77,77,77 pll=1

for the bttv bits for this card in my modprobe.conf and it seems to work ok shoudl you should be able to get something going without a kernel rebuild (which is rarely a fun thing).
