zmc exited abnormally...

I've just upgraded a working 1.23.1 ZM system on Centos 5 to 1.24.1 and both my cameras have stopped working..

I've got an 8 port BT878 board which had been working perfectly. Upgraded as per instructions and now, no video.

I've enabled debugging and get this:-

Code: Select all

04/14/09 19:10:54.258289 zmc_dvideo2[6560].ERR-zm_local_camera.cpp/1175 [Capture failure for frame 0: Invalid argument]
04/14/09 19:10:54.258381 zmc_dvideo2[6560].ERR-zmc.cpp/199 [Failed to prime capture of initial monitor]

Can anyone help?

Have you checked that the settings in your monitor source tabs look sensible?

Do you know if you are using the Video for Linux 2 api or the version 1 one?

They appeared okay (using v4l1). I changed them to v4l2 and they now work.. strange..

How/what exactly did you change?
