Re: SAA7134 card with AMD chipset - combo from hell?

Final update on this one - I've had stability problems with the memory (though it memtest'ed ok for two days) and I had to clock it down to 1067 from 1333. I suspect there's something that the CPU/MoBo doesn't like about all 4 slots being populated. I may need to tweak the BIOS settings and take the...

Re: SAA7134 card with AMD chipset - combo from hell?

Bit of an update on the off-chance that someone searches for similar problems... After many many rebuilds including various version of Linux I think I've narrowed it down to the video card. When speccing the server I bought the cheapest PCI-E I could find, a low-level NVidia one. After stripping eve...

Re: make error

Edit zm_local_camera.cpp and add in an include line at the end of all the other #include lines:

Code: Select all

#include <linux/limits.h>
Fixed the compile error for me on Debian Squeeze.

Re: PCI problems with PV-183 on Sandy Bridge based mb

Have you tried enabling/disabling "PNP Operating System" in your BIOS? There's a slim chance that it may change the IRQ assignment and help Linux see the card. It is a very slim chance though...

SAA7134 card with AMD chipset - combo from hell?

I've been running an 8-chip 8-port BTTV card from http://www.camsecure.co.uk/CamsecureBT878aPCICard.html for almost two years now on an Intel Q9550 in Dom0 of a Xen server and that's run with no problems at all. I've just put together an AMD Phenom X4 840 based OpenVZ/KVM server and this time it's a...

Yup, working quite nicely :) The various chips run quite hot (50degC and above) so I've added a large heatsink (an old Northbridge cooler) to the central chip and smaller heat sinks to each of the 8 BT878s (purchased from http://www.dealextreme.com).

It's been over 5 years and I'm pleased to report the SV823A is still going strong.

Performance compared to 1.22.x ?

I've been using 1.22 for quite some time now on a VIA C3 based system (roughly PIII-500 power) and wondered how folk had found 1.24 compared to 1.22 in terms of CPU usage before I look to upgrade. 1.22 is running quite nicely with three cameras (2 BW, 1 colour) and I wouldn't want to screw up by mov...

Haven't tried nph-zms but the system has been running fine for about two years, right up until the point when FF updated to 2.0.0.14. Once streaming has started I close the monitor window and the port that's receiving the stream stays open until I either restart FF or restart ZM.
