Garbled streaming video?

Post by jake »

I have Huapage WinTV Go BTTV video catpure card plugged into a 2.7ghz celeron (256mb ram) using livecd 1.19.1 install.

The problem I'm running into is when browsing the camera remotely (IE6.0) I get a garbled top half and the rest black screen.

Can't seem to get image. However if I go the TVTIME0 off the Linux box. The image appears fine?

What could this be? Any help appreciated.

What mode are you using to view the image, stills, mpegs or the cambozola client?

Two things that might possibly help (depending on what it is that is causing your problem) is (1) to reduce the maximum frames per second for the camera or (2) try using nph-zms instead of just zms in Options->Paths.

Ok here is the scoop.

Don't ask me why but this is the only way I can get it to work. I've replicated this many times.

When I logon to the console from a remote computer, I get a garbled view.

However when I logon to the console locally and view the camera (which views just fine) from that point on ALL remote stations work fine?!?!?

Does this make sense to anyone?
