Following on Phil's line of thought, if /usr/local/lib doesn't show up in the search path which it should do (but... ), you will probably want to add it to /etc/ld.so.conf . With any luck, re-running ldconfig will fix you up. Then again, if your luck is anything like mine....

Can you confirm the exact device and channel settings you are trying to use? Is it just channel 0 and 1 on /dev/video0 or something a bit more esoteric? Near as I can tell it's just channels 0 and 1. I initially setup the monitor on /dev/video0 and have verified that the problem moves to /dev/video...

Ok. I did go through all this last week to check nothing was broken but I will go back in and have another look. Multiple monitors on one device are very fiddly as they break all the frame buffering optimisations in the driver. I think I did mention it, but my appologies just the same for not persu...

Thanks for all that. There are a few things there I can look at. Have you tried just defining both monitors to be V4L1 and seeing if it still crashes? Actually Phil, the crash only occurs when I have two monitors defined on the same port using channels 0 and 1 with V4L1. I was mistakenly configurin...

Here's a copy of my /var/log/messages right after starting up ZM. The trouble spot I'm seeing begins with zmdc[5478] @ 02:29:56 (monitor 2 /dev/video0 0) and continues through setting up monitor 8 (/dev/video0 1). Feb 11 02:29:51 ZM zmpkg[5443]: INF [Command: start] Feb 11 02:29:51 ZM sudo: root : T...

Seems all is not well afterall. I can get a monitor working with V4L2 on /dev/video0 but if I add a monitor on the second channel I lose both monitors. But no crashes, so I thnk progress has been made. Just for the giggles, I fired up gdb and here's what I got with 2 monitors configured as V4L1 (whi...

If you think it may be V4L2 related you can configure monitors to use V4L1 instead so that might be worth a try. I got it.... What is happening is when I go to define a new monitor (the first time) as V4L2 the list box of device formats is only giving me the protocols for V4L1 and I've been selecti...

Try ldd /usr/local/bin/zmfix and see what that has to say.

CPU use varies depending on how things are configured but I would suggest getting things working first but your CPU does seem high. There is a FAQ on CPU use in the Wiki which is probably worth having a look at. I'm running pretty much the exact same setup I use with 1.23.3, but I'll have a read la...

Check what is in your syslog, maybe /var/log/messages I don't know on Slackware. Here's an excerpt from /var/log/syslog Feb 10 13:48:18 ZM zma_m1[2833]: WAR [Waiting for capture daemon] Feb 10 13:48:19 ZM zmc_dvideo0[2836]: ERR [Signal address is 0x8, from 0x8061596] Feb 10 13:48:19 ZM zmc_dvideo0[...

As noted previously, I'm running into a snag with 2 multiplexed cameras. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. I don't really seem to be able to nail down anything specific. For reference, I'm running on a Athlon 2400XP with 2 gigs of ram. I'm using a LMLBT4 card with 5 cameras, 2 of which are multipl...

latest ffmpeg and still chokes ZM at the same point. At least I'm thinking I'm getting the latest ffmpeg - will check later today. Got any old headers kicking around that aren't but updated with the new install of ffmpeg? If you're using ccache try issuing ccache -C perhaps, or uninstalling ccache ...

ccache -C (and -c to a degree) clears the cache.

For Joe Average like myself using ccache doesn't really do much other than slow things down, but but for someone such as yourself who is maintaining the source tree there can be a considerable speed increase. Or so the story goes.

Phil - Right you are. I just installed the latest ffmpeg and zm built fine.

This may also be related to the ccache issue in this thread . This has the effect of suppressing template recompilations and the build logs show not attempt to recompile. Shouldn't issuing ccache -C accomplish the same goal without having to uninstall it? Granted, the debate rages on as to the over...
