Newbie with Pico2000 and ClearOS

[speedamaster]

hi,
I fail to get a video on my screen with an Pico2000 card.

In /etc/modprobe.conf I have

Code: Select all

options bttv card=77 tuner=4 radio=0 triton1=0 vsfx=0 autoload=0

dmesg|grep bttv gives

Code: Select all

bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded
bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
bt878: waiting for bttv to get alive
bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:05:04.0, irq: 74, latency: 32, mmio: 0xe8200000
bttv0: using: GrandTec Multi Capture Card (Bt878) [card=77,insmod option]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00f360ff [init]
bttv0: using tuner=4
bttv0: registered device video0
bttv0: registered device vbi0
bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok

and dmesg|grep bt878 gives

Code: Select all

bt878: waiting for bttv to get alive
bt878: AUDIO driver version 0.0.0 loaded
bt878: Bt878 AUDIO function found (0).
bt878_probe: card id=[0x0],[ <NULL> ] has DVB functions.
bt878(0): Bt878 (rev 17) at 05:04.1, irq: 74, latency: 32, memory: 0xe8201000

in the ZM console I added 2 monitors with
/dev/video and channels 0 and 1 PAL, rgb24, 320x240, Video4Linux1 and maxFPS 5.0

NO VIDEO....

any help?

Change

Code: Select all

/dev/video

to

Code: Select all

/dev/video0

[speedamaster]

in /dev video is a link to video0, so this didn't help.....
anything else I could check?

[bristoldave]

He means change /dev/video to /dev/video0 in the ZM options

[speedamaster]

this is what I did. In ZM config for the monitor..... I just mentioned that anyway /dev/video is linked to /dev/video0 so it shouldn't make a difference if I have in ZM /dev/video of /dev/video0....
anyway.... not solved yet......

[speedamaster]

BTW: if I create a new monitor and press "probe" I get the error

Code: Select all

Unable to probe local cameras, status is '255'

zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v

Code: Select all

Error, failed to query crop capabilities /dev/video0: Invalid argument

/etc/zmdc.log gives

Code: Select all

30.12.2009 16:25:47.006907 zmdc[4657].INF [Starting pending process, zmc -d /dev/video0]

Within ZM, if you don't specify /dev/video0 the source will turn red (not working) regardless of links. Just tested on working Fedora 12 box by creating link and changing source to /dev/video which resulted in broken capture. When using a capture card, ZM is married to the card, the camera can't be probed and the resolution, palette, format, etc, are determined by the card only so your source settings need to be based on the card output only.
