ZoneMinder Forums

Go over to Linuxtracker.org and get a copy of 1.24.2 Zoneminder on Arch Linux, boot into that and see if you can get the system working then use those settings. I'm guessing here but it's beginning to look like conflicting settings in two different .conf's or something similar. Anyway starting with a known good base and install will help you discover all the settings you need.

Sorry bb99:

right is:

Changes in options:
From

Code: Select all

card=131,131,131,131 tuner=4,4,4,4

to

Code: Select all

card=131,131,131,131 tuner=24,24,24,24

reboot the computer and the first thing we see is that it shows many errors before they reach the login.
Once we enter, we notice that we only have:

Code: Select all

/dev/video0 

and disappeared:

Code: Select all

/dev/video1 
/dev/video2 
/dev/video3 

Anyway we entered the ZonMinder, and we see that it keeps repeating the same image but only in the following channels:

Code: Select all

video0/channel0 
video0/channel1 
video0/channel2 
video0/channel3 

It was hoped this?

Again, thank you

Please...., someone help me

Thanks!!

Hi, I'm Matias, also from Buenos Aires, as far as I read in the posts of Neppon and terciof, linux uses first channel as master an the rest as slaves. You have Ubuntu 10.04 (kernel 2.6.32) so the options line in bttv.conf file should be:

options bttv card=157,158,158,158 tuner=4,4,4,4 radio=0

Try this and let us know if it worked.

Map the cameras in ZM like this:

Camera 1 -> /dev/video0 channel 0
Camera 2 -> /dev/video1 channel 0
Camera 3 -> /dev/video2 channel 0
Camera 4 -> /dev/video3 channel 0

Camera 5 -> /dev/video0 channel 1
Camera 6 -> /dev/video1 channel 1
Camera 7 -> /dev/video2 channel 1
Camera 8 -> /dev/video3 channel 1

Camera 9 -> /dev/video0 channel 2
Camera 10 -> /dev/video1 channel 2
Camera 11 -> /dev/video2 channel 2
Camera 12 -> /dev/video3 channel 2

Camera 13 -> /dev/video0 channel 3
Camera 14 -> /dev/video1 channel 3
Camera 15 -> /dev/video2 channel 3
Camera 16 -> /dev/video3 channel 3
