Hello all

So I was excited to read that zm now supports V4L2, so should my QuickCam Pro 5000 ( ID 046d:08c5 ) now work?

I followed the excellent guide on compiling 1.24.1 from source on ubuntu 8.10 and everything seems to have gone well, I can get to the console and add things.

The prob is the log is filled with this :-

Code: Select all

04/21/09 19:19:07.048970 zmdc[6527].INF ['zmc -d /dev/video0' starting at 09/04/21 19:19:07, pid = 6940]
04/21/09 19:19:07.067913 zmdc[6527].ERR ['zmc -d /dev/video0' exited abnormally, exit status 255]
04/21/09 19:19:17.039775 zmdc[6527].INF [Starting pending process, zmc -d /dev/video0]

04/21/09 19:19:37.059831 zmdc[6527].INF [Starting pending process, zmc -d /dev/video0]
04/21/09 19:19:37.062252 zmdc[6527].INF ['zmc -d /dev/video0' starting at 09/04/21 19:19:37, pid = 7544]
04/21/09 19:19:37.077425 zmdc[6527].ERR ['zmc -d /dev/video0' exited abnormally, exit status 255]

And if I do the zmu from the install guide I get this :-

Code: Select all

root@pc:/tmp# zmu -qv -d /dev/video0
Error, failed to query crop /dev/video0: Invalid argument

Am I missing something or do I need to go the streaming route?
The camera works fine in cheese

Thanks for any help

Use mjpg_streamer and you'll have it up and running in minutes. I have the very same camera here and use it on remote devices as well as my dvd install. If you need help let me know.
