Hi all,
I've recently installed zm and all the stuff, but i don't know how to get the video stream from different composite connector.. I can only watch the input of the first connector ..how can I get the others working?
i've tryed with xawtv, but it showes up only composite1, s-video, and composite3, but composite3 doesn't work.
my card is a Impact VCB Model.64405 Rev.C1, she has 3 composite input and a S-video input.

here my dmesg:

login as root
find modprope.conf in the /etc file
add
options bttv card=82
to this file save it
reboot and you should have all your inputs available

Btw is this the 4x bnc one or the 3 phono and svhs one

thanks... but i can't visualize any image in zoneminder....
...the PC is not near me in this time, so i can't check if with tvtime the video showes up (i'm managing via ssh), but in zoneminder nothing is visualized.
My settings are:
device: /dev/video0 channel: 0
device: /dev/video0 channel: 1
device: /dev/video0 channel: 2

...but no one shows me an image... what is wrong? ...i've set the function to "monitor" just for testing..

have you set modprobe to card 82

yes. I've followed your instructions to make load the module correctly after any reboot (modifying the /etc/modprobe.conf), and loaded the module:

Code: Select all

modprobe bttv card=82

you may know more than me here but i usually edit modprobe.conf to include the card info and reboot not sure what the other statement does.

If you have modified the modprobe.conf na drebooted you should see the inputs. I have a vcb card do running my cams at home
