newb : logitech webcam, 2/3'rds visible

Post by bitbit »

First post, just getting started with ZM, but i have plans to use it to monitor 3-4 cams around the house. But first i'll learn to walk with my oldish logitech webcam.

For some reason i can only get 320x240 working, it does support 640x480, and it works with other webcam apps in ubuntu.
And when i say 320x240 working, its acutally 320x180 or thereabouts, cause the bottom 1/3rd is blacked out. Is this known behavior? It's all good, i can mess around with it and learn the basics iwth this, but it would be nice with the remaining pixels :-)

I'm going to guess your build is with shared memory instead of mmap. Increase your shared memory by at least double (easily searched). Or there is a resolution or palette issue that you'll have to work through.
