1.26.4 compiled from source on Debian 7 will not start cap

Post by ceraldi »

Installed from source, web interface works 100% can add sources. I have an 8 port Kodicom 8800 capture card and I can see all 8 video devices in /dev.
When I add a source and watch /var/log/messages I see:

Code: Select all

Nov  1 10:06:27 Promethium zmdc[4674]: INF ['zmc -d /dev/video0' started at 13/11/01 10:06:27]
Nov  1 10:06:27 Promethium zmdc[4596]: WAR [Can't find process with command of 'zma -m 1']
Nov  1 10:06:27 Promethium zmc_dvideo0[4674]: INF [No direct match for the selected palette and target colorspace. Format conversion is required, performance penalty expected]
Nov  1 10:06:27 Promethium zmc_dvideo0[4674]: INF [Starting Capture]
Nov  1 10:06:32 Promethium zmdc[4596]: INF [Starting pending process, zmc -d /dev/video0]
Nov  1 10:06:32 Promethium zmdc[4596]: INF ['zmc -d /dev/video0' starting at 13/11/01 10:06:32, pid = 4690]

Not sure where to go from here fixing the error, I do not see any video when I open the stream in the web interface, just the broken image link.
the above message repeats over and over till I stop the zoneminder service.

Thanks,
Aaron



UPDATE:
Ok so I figured out what was going on, permissions on the /dev/video0 - 7 where not set to the www-user, fixed that and it started capturing fine.
"AUTO" for color palate selection does not work with this card. I got no image in the stream untill I hard set each channel to YUV420.

everything is working fine now, leaving this hear in case someone else runs into this snag.
