Thanks to lots of help, I have made progress, but now I get:

I have followed the docs and set strict, but still get this:
ERR [Failed to set picture attributes: Invalid argument]
I have reduced/changed every attribute that I can and yet I still get the message.


I also get
zmu[3013]: ERR [Shared memory not initialised by capture daemon]

I have searched the forum and help, and can't find anything.
Thank you.
