ZMU errors and setting the camera

Post by Neil P »

Trying to get a camera installed.

It works just fine in xawtv and have been trying to get the settings to use to add the device to the ZM console as per the instructions in the manual

This is what I get

neil@Kubuntu:~$ zmu -d <0> -q -v
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `0'
neil@Kubuntu:~$ zmu -d 0 -q -v
Aborted (core dumped)
neil@Kubuntu:~$ sudo zmu -d 0 -q -v
Password:
Error, failed to open video device 0: No such file or directory
neil@Kubuntu:~$ zmfix -a
Aborted (core dumped)
neil@Kubuntu:~$

There is also a mention of changing something in ZM config, I have found it, but it is blank.




Any ideas?

OK, got it....my fault ....finally got it. Syntax problem.
So I have entered these into the ZM console, but still no picture.

I'm lost what do I do from here. The device on the ZM console page is showing in red

neil@Kubuntu:~$ sudo zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v
