ZoneMinder Forums

Greetings:

I recently upgraded a previously-working Zoneminder box to Ubuntu 11.04. Upon reinstalling Zoneminder, I found that Video 4 Linux is no longer supported in Ubuntu 11.04, and therefore I have no way of selecting V4L 1.0 in the source dialog to allow Zoneminder to talk to my PV-149 card.

Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks in advance.

Had to check first but I'm using v4l 2 with a pv-149 very nicely.

The reason I am assuming the issue is due to V4L version 2 is as follows:

I also have another fully working system under Ubuntu 10.10 and Zoneminder 1.24.2 using a PV-140 card. That system is set to V4L Version 1. If I switch any one channel to V4L version 2, all the channels turn to red.

Is V4L 2 not compatible with older versions of the Bluecherry cards? (the PV-149 is about 4 years old and the PV-140 is about 3 years old)

Downgraded the system to Ubuntu 10.10 and Zoneminder 1.24.2. V4L version 1 is now an option and it works properly.

If anyone could share so insight into the potential causes of the issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.
