Video Problem with Logitech Quickcam

Post by hav0kc »

Hello, I am using ZM 1.22.3 and I cannot get any video going.

Here is some information about my system

My camera is located at /dev/video0 as XSane detects and successfully uses the webcam and zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v returns the appropriate information.

When I use zm's web interface of mythzm I get a broken image (non-existent image)

Here is the output from zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v

I've tried playing with the settings in zm webclient with no success, and I've had little success googleing this problem.

Hopefully there is an easy answer that I am just over looking.

Thanks,
