ZM [no video stream] Help, Anyone?

[Nurech]

Hi.
I'm having problems with live streaming.
Apparently I'm missing gecko-sdk(i'm assuming) and and can't seem to install mplayerplug-in. Configuring(mplayerplug-in) with default settings it gives me the fallowing errors:

config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: WARNING: Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
config.status: creating po/Makefile
config.status: WARNING: po/Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
config.status: creating install.sh
config.status: WARNING: install.sh.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
config.status: creating uninstall.sh
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged

I tried to find the default root of gecko but I wasn't able to find it.
Thanks.

Edit:
firefox plugins how mplayerplug-in installed
gecko is installed also, so shows symaptic package manager.

Something is wrong with your configuration here. That should read /dev/videoX as in /dev/video0 or whatever number would relate to the port number on the card.

Sure you can. It's the multimedia controller @ 05:01.0 How do you have your modules.conf set up?

This is what I see in ZM:

Moot point, for now.

Does this help you out at all?

Great news, I was able to get this to work on Friday. The last remain problem was that I didn't input video0 but only video, below that was the channel choice option, I thought that was for the device. But I wrote that zero, wrote put the correct channel and it works.

Now some questions, if I have a tilt able camera, would it be possible to control that in a ZM. And if I have lets say 4 cameras, can I create an php or html file and display all 4 cameras in one window?

And I looked in apache and keys and stuff. I can't figure out how to make ZM password protect and accessible remotely.

I'm with the same problem.
