having trouble with zoneminder 1.24.2 on ubuntu 10.04 server
Posted: Thu Nov 04, 2010 2:50 pm
I have installed zoneminder running apt-get install zoneminder and it installs correctly. I am able to connect from a wepage to it and setup video0 and video1 but nothing happens. The video screen opens but nothing plays. I am running a wintv-pvr 150 and wintv-pvr-250 card. I know both cards are working fine as i go under dmesg and see them installed with no errors. I also run: dmesg | grep Initialized
[ 10.442558] ivtv0: Initialized card: Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150
[ 11.513321] ivtv1: Initialized card: Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250
under cd /dev i see this.
video0
video1
video24
video25
video32
video33
i then test the video by typing.
cat /dev/video0 > /home/joe/test_captureTEST5000.mpg (this plays back in vlc player fine)
i then test video1.
cat /dev/video1 > /home/joe/test_captureTEST6000.mpg (this one plays back in vlc player fine too.
When i run v412-ctl -T, i get 99% signal on the video0, then i run v4l2-ctl --device=/dev/video1 -T and i get 99% on video1 signal too.
Now i just need help on getting zoneminder to play the video as i setup video0 and video1 in zoneminder and it installed properly.
i installed zoneminder by running. sudo apt-get install zoneminder
also shared memory is setup.
