Success. I dumped everything, and started over. The new control is now loaded, and controls the camera via mjpg_streamer program Did you find a cause or reason for this in the end. I'm having similar issues (Intrepid 8.10, Zoneminder 1.24-rc1-2740). zmcontrol.pl seems to hang/halt on the load modul...

I am in the process of writing a PTZ control module for the quickcam orbit/sphere . (with uvcdynctrl from the libwebcam library) http://www.quickcamteam.net/software/libwebcam 2) what is the purpose of the socket that zmcontrol opens ? Excellent, I was just embarking on a similar task. Would you mi...

Following on from others in this thread I'm trying to get mjpgStreamer.pm pan/tilt controls working. video1 UVC Camera (046d:0994) Bus 006 Device 002: ID 046d:0994 Logitech, Inc.

Below slightly different patch for the palette problem with build 2737. Fixes the slight off colours of the earlier patch. diff zm_local_camera.cpp zm_local_camera.save 349,350d348 < if (input.std != V4L2_STD_UNKNOWN || format != V4L2_STD_UNKNOWN) < { // RIS 1 Feb 09 uvc patch 361d358 < } // end uvc...

tiggy@gecko:~$ sudo zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v Error, failed to get channel 0 attributes: Invalid argument tiggy@gecko:~$ This built supports uvcvideo driven cams right? I get similar errors for my uvc cams, I believe the below note from a different topic sums up the problem. uvcvideo cams being V4L2...

Control of the sphere via Zoneminder and mjpg_streamer on 1.24 is working. Would be nice to also have local control over it when plugged direct into the server. Yes that would be nice. Going to see how far I can get with that one. BTW, any notes or references for getting the mjpg_streamer controls ...

The video standard thing I will update to allow zero values. The palettes _should_ now be V4L2 compliant. I recommend making sure you have the fmmpeg libraries installed which will now do the format conversions. If you still get weird colours even using that let me know. I no longer have any USB ca...

Might be a good place to start. What output do you get from zmu?

Actually I was mistaken. Got zmu/zmc mixed up.

Following my earlier post i've managed to improve the colour situation. Heres a quick hack at the palette code that seems to improve things. I just need to work out whats wrong with the static table approach, suspect an offset problem. diff zm_local_camera.cpp zm_local_camera.save 349,350d348 < if (...

unfortunately , i have reached the same point you reached : I get pictures from the cams but the colors are all garbled . wrong palettes or wrong format conversion or something ? i am giving up for the now . Palette codes seems to be in zm_local_camera.cpp around line 1438. I suspect its converting...

to get the cameras to display , i had to modify the file zm_local_camera.cpp here is the diff : [root@venus src]# diff zm_local_camera.cpp zm_local_camera.cpp.save 348,349c348 < if ( input.std!=V4L2_STD_UNKNOWN ) < { --- > 352c351 <Fatal> Fatal( "Device does not support video standard %d"...

I have a couple of usb web cams I'm trying to setup locally (rather than mjpeg_streamer). With build 2678 these connected and streamed an image but the palette was all wrong (http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12611). Installing build 2737 I can nolonger connect and encountering the fo...

Any solution to this palette problem.

I've just installed Zoneminder 1.24 on Intrepid 8.10 and encountered the same thing with my Logitech Sphere AF.
