Short description: Four monitors (on one bttv chip) fail to initialize. 28 other monitors are working.

Details:
Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64. Self compiled ffmpeg 0.5 and ZM 1.24.1.
One ProVideo PV-155 16 input 4 chip card.
One Euresys Picolo 16 input 4 chip card.

Camera connected to each input recording at either 320x240 or 480x360. All monitors attached to /dev/video6 appear as red in web interface. In zmdc.log I see this:

So far I have been unable to find anything by searching. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks,

I did not see anything in that thread that really applied to me. I am using all analog cams.

Just for a test I deleted all the working monitors and left only the problems ones. I did see a suspicious error in the system log. Something about a wrong palette. After checking the palette settings on one of the monitors they all came up. I had one set as RGB444 vice RGB555. I really have no idea what the different ones are or what I should be using, but that seemed to fix things.

There is also a crash recorded in the system log:

I was unable to get any output from addr2line. If you can give me the addr2line command to run I will try it. My ZM was built with debugging included.

Thanks,

Actually my post got crossed with another

addr2line is not useful if you don't have any instances of backtrace in your logs.

What was meant to be posted was to turn up debug to see if there was anymore detail. Glad you got it sorted.

All setting for all inputs on one device must all be the same. BT878's do not handle switching between ports if size, palette, or format are different.
