changing camera settings, then /dev/video0 goes red

Post by sdel »

i'm assuming that the camera didn't like something i set when it disables and the /dev/video0 line goes red.

the only way i can get the camera back online is to restart the entire server. is there a way to get the camera working again without having to restart the server?

an example would be: set your first camera to a high resolution. it will probably go down. monitor will stay orange, but the /dev/video0 will go red.

i've tried restarting zm, but that doesn't seem to work.

for anyone else running into this problem, here is a resolution:

Code: Select all

# rmmod bttv
# insmod bttv
then restart ZM.
