ZoneMinder Forums

I have been running ZoneMinder 1.22.x with Fedora 8 for quite some time. I decided to upgrade to Fedora 11 to get the newest version of ZoneMinder. I have a 4 port video card with 2 cameras. I previously had the source of these 2 cameras as /dev/video0 channel 0 and /dev/video1 channel 0.

After I upgraded, I set up the cameras the same but no combination I use will show the cameras. The source stays red with no video. There are 3 devices showing (dev/video0-dev/video3).

I don't understand why the exact same source settings aren't working. How can I determine where the video is coming in?

Well, for us to be able to figure out whats not working, we need a little more info. If I had to guess, my money is on your OS not correctly detecting your video capture board.

1. Which Video Capture board are you using? (ie, brand, model #)
1a. Post the ouput of 2. Post the output of 3. Post your log files so we can see whats going on with ZM and your OS.

4. I think this is the section of the log you want. Looks like there is an error:

Okay, you are absolutely right there is an issue with your card not being initialized properly.

Which kernel are you running? To find out you can run This shouldn't be an issue but let's not overlook anything.

Edit: You might also try following this thread: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15044

I upgraded to Fedora 12 and am having exactly the same problem. The kernel with this version is 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.

I have used this computer for several years with Fedora 8 and ZM but wonder if the resources are too minimal for Fedora 12. It's a P800 with 384 megs of memory. I hope this isn't the problem but if it is I'll have to downgrade back to my old setup and use that. Hopefully another solution can be found.
