Memory map and palette issues

[ratatine]

Hey all. Just bit the bullet and upgraded my 1.25 to 1.26.4 and nothing has worked since. The first issue I ran into was complaints about access to a shared memory ID. The usual fixes didn't work. Had plenty of allocated shared memory. In the end fixed that one by adding -DENABLE_MMAP to the compile on cmake.

However now I'm having two separate log errors. One is fatal which is:
zmc_dvideo1 - Unable to find a suitable format conversion for the selected palette and target colorspace.

The other is an error:
zmwatch - Memory map file '/dev/shm/zm.mmap.1' should have been 896 but was instead 0

I look at the shared memory files and (while previously it was creating them) it is not now. This may be because zmc is crashing.

I'm not really get much more from the log. Any advice on where I can look next would be appreciated! Log is attached as well.

What is your capture pallete and target colourspace set to ?

[ratatine]

So after 24 hours doing nothing on the system it has magically started working on its own. No reboots, no changes. Insane.

I did notice one issue after it started working where I had to log out and log back in to see video because zms was reporting authentication issues in the log. The memory map files exist now on the filesystem. Will report back if the issue resurfaces.

Oh and Chippy, to answer your question for reference sake, BGR32/NTSC with 32 bit color. Resolution is 720x480. Capture method is vfl2 and I'm using a bt878 capture card.

Well, good to hear that all is working ok
