Hi Everyone! Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a Hauppauge Wintv 44372 rev D123

and a

WE-1404P four port (I think) capture cards.

I have two brand new cameras that I have tested working and can not seem to find the right 'Source' or have other settings wrong for them. The other issue is I am not sure if I have drivers for the cards loaded. I am running on Ubuntu 8.04.2 and the install seemed to go flawless and the from all the tutorials and forums and google I have gone through I can not seem to find anything on issues with the actual capture cards.

In short, how do I verify that my capture (DVR) cards are configured properly or have drivers?

I am also unsure what i should see in the dev directory to identify what devices are actually providing data?

Thanks Again.

on some of thouse cards you must use raw feed rather than mpeg2 run this if you get something like this

video0
video1
video24
video25

then use 24 and 25 respectively [/code]

Excellent thanks. I will try that right away. Do usb web cams show in the same way?

Thanks Again,

Mark

I have one camera (CameraB1), Source Type Local, Function: Monitor, Device Path: /dev/video1, Device Channel: 1, Device format: auto, capture palette: RGB24, Capture width: 352, Capture height: 288 That has a Blue screen and hows the time clock at the top. All of the rest (Video2...4) just show broken links.

Does this really meant hat I have a video feed for CameraB1? If not what is a reliable way to find or identify video feeds? I just verified (again) that the camera is putting out a very nice clear image.

Thanks,

Mark

all devices on linux show up in the directory /dev
"ls /dev/" lists all devices them
" | grep video " only shows this with vidoe in the name

anyways
go check you zoneminder logs to see if there are any errors if you dont know where they are try /var/log or /tmp if there not there say what linux distro you are using

also try changing Device Channel
