ZMLiveCD and Logitech quickcam pro 4000

Post by craver84 »

hi everyone, I've downloaded the ZMLiveCD and installed it.
I need to use my Logitech quickcam pro 4000 with ZM.

when I plug the USB and for example start camorama it works perfectly, but I don't know how to configure the webcam in ZM.... I tried but I only see a white rectangle...
the same happends with an axis 2100

Can you help me please?

id have a read of the docs for setup,
start of with 320x240 res and see how you get on.

This is how i got my logitech quickcam pro 4000 working after the following errors on the ZMLiveCD 1.22.2.

System:
IBM T30 Thinkpad
Processor: P4 1.2 Ghz
Memory: 512 (Other memory slot is broken)
Cam: USB Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000

-------------
errors:
/va/log/zm/zmdc.log
zmdc -d /dev/video0 exited abnormally, exit status 255

/var/log/zm/zmwatch.log
zmc -d /dev/video0 started
Can't get shared memory id 7a6d2001 1: no such file or directory
Restarting capture daemon for Cam_1, shared memory not valid

su
echo 268424446 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
echo 268424446 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

-------------------------
cd /usr/lib/zm
bin/zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v

In zm web console > /dev/video0 (0) > Source >
Changed Device Format from NTSC to AUTO
Changed Capture Palette from RGB24 to YUV420P

Restarted zm from zm web console

Got steady green green light on the web cam which was blinking intermittently before.
Then clicked Cam_1 and video was visible.

But i still don't see anything in it's Zones 1 pop up window.
Any help kindly appreciated
