Hello,

I've got problems (simple 4in1 bttv graber card, xawtv/tvtime works) got logs like this:

Jul 6 19:41:01 ola zmc_d0[2154]: INF [Debug Level = 0, Debug Log = <none>]
Jul 6 19:41:01 ola zmc_d0[2154]: ERR [Failed to set window attributes: Invalid argument]

And it keep going over and over...

Try checking that you set image size in your config is supported by the card.
Typical NTSC setting are 320x240 and 640x480. I do not know the typical PAL settings but I'm sure a search on the forum would give results.

This is normaly seen when the size/pallet of image does not match what the card/camera can do.

pal 720 x 576 or 360 x 288

the typical PAL settings

768x576 and 384x288.

Thanks -- seem to work more than 0x0 Now i'm trying to figure out what diffrence is in PAL from camera or Pal from TV-SAT (Phipls DVR-3010) and images from TVSAT are "broken" like having no sync and no color at all.

Maybe problem above should be added to FAQ.

BTW i'm working on http://cvs.pld-linux.org/SPECS/zm.spec
When finished Zm (binary rpm) should be avalible for amd64 ppc or even sparc

Any sugestions on "viewing live" motion on vga monitor connected to PC (without mouse/keyboard, only the monitor).
