I've got a nice clean install, latest ZM on latest Fedora (13). I'm using a Hauppuage USB-Live-2 to stream video & audio into my PC.

zmu shows the video:

I've setup the monitor in ZM, but when I try to view the video there is no image, and php error log shows:

I've seen a bunch of posts around this topic, and I've done the obvious config stuff. Can anyone help me diagnose this?

I want to avoid setting up the video as an http stream INTO ZM, since this whole thing is a virtual machine and I want to minimize load...

Solved it...

I had a typo in the device name. I guess the suggestion from this is some error checking on user fields....
