Hello,
I'm new to Zoneminder, i just got my card yesterday. But, i'm having some problems setting ZoneMinder up.
I installed Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS, and checked if my card was recognized by typing (sudo lspci -v).
After that i installed ZoneMinder, when i added my first camera it showed up as Yellow, and i was able to click on it.
But the only thing that showed up was a big black screen, so i checked the log, and i saw this:
Shared data size conflict in shared_data for monitor Monitor-1, expected 328, got 316
A quick search on Google said i needed to edit "our $arch = int(3.2*length(~0));" to "our $arch = 32;".
But after i did that and restarted the laptop ZoneMinder is running on, the camera turned from yellow to red, and i can't click on it.
And my logs is now spammed with:
Shared data not initialised by capture daemon, some query functions may not be available or produce invalid results
My card is a SAA7130, but it's using the SAA7134 kernel module.
Is there anyone that can help me out here?

Re: Zoneminder WAR and ERR
Tried changing $arch back to standard value, and i'm getting "Shared data size conflict in shared_data for monitor Monitor-2, expected 328, got 316" again. But, also every time i change something on one of the cameras i get this "Can't find process with command of 'zma -m 2'"
Re: Zoneminder WAR and ERR
I just reinstalled my system to Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS, i got all the errors away except this one: Can't find process with command of 'zma -m 2'
It shows up every time i edit something on the cameras.
(I followed this guide: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... e_easy_way)
The camera is yellow, but when i click on it the state is idle, and the FPS is 2.05.
Here is a screenshot of the black screen, and my configuration with my camera. The card i have (the place i bought it) is here: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... eo_capture follow the link number 2 on that page and then it's the 5008 (no audio).
It shows up as the SAA7130, and uses the SAA7134 module.
I would really like some help here : /
PS: I can't link to other sites, that's why i have to do it like that.

Re: Zoneminder WAR and ERR
Have you tried to put "our $arch = 64;"?
After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...

And the same errors as before.
Re: Black screen on camera and process error
The camera i'm using is a SVAT CV31
If somebody could tell me if my "Source" settings is correct, it will help a big deal

Re: Black screen on camera and process error
I love how nobody knows how to fix this? Really? No idea how to fix these problems?
Re: Black screen on camera and process error
Posting the logs of the problem use to help more than pictures (even they contain useful info).
