Wrong palette with V4L2

Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 8:26 am

Hi all,
Yesterday I downloaded/compiled the last ZoneMinder version (ZoneMinder-1.24.0-rc1-2678.tar.gz) since I wanted to try the support for the V4L(2) webcams.

After I compiled/installed everything, the webcam was recognized, but its colors were always pink/bluish. I tried all the possible palettes, but none of them displayed the colors correctly.

With the YUYV palette configured in Zoneminder I get the following picture:

Using ffmpeg streaming through v4l2 I get the same picture but with right colors:

This is the output of v4l-info on my PC:

Do you think it's a problem with the 1.24.0-rc1 or something related to my configuration?

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi everyone,

I have Logitech Quickcam Orbit/Sphere 1.3MP and installed ZoneMinder 1.24 build 2679 (ZoneMinder-1.24.0-rc1-2679.tar.gz) on CentOS 5.2.

After overcoming all compile problems (ZoneMinder did not want to compile because of missing ffmpeg packages since default ffmpeg installation did not add them - solved by looking at those forums) - I experience the same problem as described in the above post (the image from V4L2 camera is wrong palette). In addition, the CPU load while I monitor this webcam jumps considerably - a process called "nph-zms" consumes up to 50-70% of the CPU.

Has anyone been able to solve this wrong palette problem? The high CPU load is also an issue for me since I try to build a surveillance system based on a small PC with performance close to thin client. I need to use it with 3 cameras and if this is what happens with one camera, the load for 3 cameras will be probably at 100%. I doubt that I am doing everything correctly, since I heard of people who were able to run ZoneMinder on OpenWRT-based routers, which can offer about 1/2 or 1/3 of the performance of my small PC.

So after this long explanation, here are my specifications:

Hardware
Computer - Fit-PC Slim http://www.fit-pc.com. CPU: AMD Geode LX 800 - 500 MHz. RAM - 512MB. Hard disk - 2.5" SSD IDE Transcend MLC (TS32GSSD25-M)
Camera - Logitech Quickcam Orbit/Sphere 1.3MP (2006 version)

Software
OS - CentOS 5.2 text-only support (no GUI). It was a bit tricky to install CentOS 5.2 on this PC since it does not install there on itself. Anaconda (CentOS installer) thinks that this CPU is not able to execute i686 instructions, so it crashes during installation. On the other hand, there is a workaround by plugging the hard disk of this PC into a PIII laptop, installing CentOS 5.2 there, and then moving the hard disk back to Fit-PC. This also worked for me. The reason I chose CentOS is because I am most familiar with RedHat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS is the free version of RedHat. In addition, ZoneMinder itself was written under CentOS as I understood, so I tried to make the system as similar as possible to the original, to make my life easier with problems solution.
CentOS 4.7 installation is working perfect without any workaround to move the hard disk, but unfortunately Linux-UVC drivers do not compile and do not work under it (at least for me).
Drivers - the linux-uvc driver from CentOS "Atrpms" repository. I tried to compile the linux-uvc driver from their Subversion repository, but did not succeed, so I had to use this RPM.
ZoneMinder - as written above, ZoneMinder-1.24.0-rc1-2679.tar.gz
I also installed a few other UVC streaming helpers like luvcview, mjpeg_streamer etc., to test the camera there, since at the beginning I did not manage to get any output from ZoneMinder at all (not even wrong palette one).

So the outputs from various commands:

Again, mjpg_streamer works fine (although this camera only supports YUV so I had to use -y prefix):

Logitech Sphere AF Palette

Any solution to this palette problem.

I've just installed Zoneminder 1.24 on Intrepid 8.10 and encountered the same thing with my Logitech Sphere AF.

yogev_ezra,

I was the person that setup Openwrt on my Linksys NSLU2. I used a special build of Openwrt that starts up two mjpg_steamer sessions if it detects two webcam's plugged in. I've had this running for weeks now with no issues. I then plugged in a Orbit Sphere and contacted the person that initally got the Orbit working. He then helped me gain control of the tilt/pan/ and reset through a new module he made for Zoneminder. It works great and the openwrt device has no issues's supporting the load at all.

I'm also working on dd-wrt routers, but since I can't get any help in the forums I'm thinking about reverting to openwrt on the routers as well and dealing with the loss of Wireless in the 2.6 kernel of openwrt and broadcom.
