I've installed the liveCD, it's starting to come together on my box. No luck yet on the second Hauppauge card, and there seem to be some persission issues, which are probably the root cause of this, but just in case it's a seperate issue, my zmfilter.log is yielding:

Scanning for events since id -1
Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at /usr/local/bin/zmfilter.pl line 227.

repeating on and on.

zmpkg seems clean, messages is clean, zmdc has no errors, zmaudit is showing

Database monitor 'othercard' does not exist in filesystem, deleting
Database monitor 'New' does not exist in filesystem, deleting

(new is on /dev/video0 and seems to work fine, 'othercard' is on /dev/video1 and isn't playing nice. This might the be the problem and if so it's bttv, not zm.)

Hi David,

I think most of the messages you are seeing are because you have a 'virgin' installation and there are no events to check and so no directory of events to look ahead. So I wouldn't be worried by them. Nonetheless I have made a couple of changes to prevent these messages from being emitted, especially the

Database monitor 'othercard' does not exist in filesystem, deleting

one as it doesn't actually delete anything anyway.

Phil,

Thanks Philip!
