shared memory error but not the norm

Post by aot2002 »

cant seem to get my new card replacing the old bttv ebay ones with this bluecherry card i got?
although its detected it shows black on video and stills?
the cameras and old bttv cards work perfect? but i'd like to get this card up and rolling at some point?
can someone point me where i went wrong?

Im using Cordel's CDROM thanks J

Hey Jay,
Have you reconfigured ZM for the card and the inputs you are using?
Lookiing at your other post seems to me that the card is functioning in your second post since zmc is reporting a frame rate.
Not sure when you started getting the shared memory errors but this would contradict that zmc is capturing images. File not found in shared memory just means that nothing has been put there but then you would not have any fps being reported.

If you want to give me access again, just PM me the info and I can get it going for you. I just need root ssh access and the web punched through the firewall (port 22 and 80 unless you changed them).
