similar to: gspca and motion

For video capture from a USB camera, as near as I can tell, there's a problem with the driver gspca_zc3xx with the latest update to the kernel. All our cameras were working fine before the update to 2.6.32-358.11.1; since, two cameras, both on fairly new Dell servers are screwed. Meanwhile, on some older servers, same update, no problems. Of the two bad ones, one's got AMD, and the other

I *think* the problem I've been having with the gspca_zc3xx video drivers isn't directly that driver. One of my users, on one of the two servers that broke, started having continuing crashes from where he enabled mediawiki to server thumbnails for some images. That crash, according to the [abrt] full crash report, is from /usr/bin/convert, and /var/log/messages tells me kernel:

We've got several secure rooms, with video surveillance 24x7. A few years ago, we got a couple of cards based on BT878 chips, which we use with the motion package. I've posted here about hardware issues... After a fair bit of testing, the cards just don't seem to be compatible with Dell rackmount server firmware. They work fine... on older Penguins, which are Supermicro. It's

Irritating quirkyness: we have a bunch of videocams. To use, we use gspca. Usually, on an upgrade, I just go into the gspca directory (which appears, from their website, to have not been updated since '07), make clean, make, make install. Having gone up to 5.5, did the same. What's happening now is that it works, delivers the mpgs... but dumps errors in the logs: <snip> kernel:

I suggested to our Homeowners Association that we begin a Private Forum (phpBB) and web site. That suggestion has been well received and we will proceed with that. Now, I have become involved in a much more complex and important project, which is Video Surveillance, for the entrance to our subdivision. I Googled and found two (2) things for Linux that seem to be OK: (a) ZoneMinder

Hi, folks, I'm still trying to find a video capture card that won't crash Dell servers, and ran across a Blackmagic BDLKDUO2 DeckLink Duo 2. It claims to support Linux. I'm also seeing, in the few non-Blabkmagic or sales pages I can find, that they like "binary blobs". I also haven't been able to find anything about o/s or library requirements. Has anyone run

I'm fighting a long-standing problem: we've got a Dell PE R720 with a BT878 card in it, running four surveillance cameras (it's a secure room). Since I put the card in, within 20-30 min, the box's little LCD screen goes orange, and complains "bus error" on the slot the card's in; I've moved it to different slot, no joy. Note that the same card in an older Penguin

Hi, folks. Ever since we brought some of our servers up to 6.x, where the gspca module comes with the kernel, instead of us building it, we've been seeing problems. One system gives very strange loops - someone walks through, then repeat a few times, then the next motion, etc. The current problem is that one camera went out on a different server (it's 6.2, and I'm hoping to bring

Kernel 2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64. Anyone using motion, or in some other way using the gspca_zc3xx driver? Just in the last week or two, I've started getting error messages in my log Jan 30 16:53:20 <servername> kernel: gspca: frame overflow 33180 > 32768 The > 32k size varies, all 33xxx. mark

Ok... digging still more into this problem that I'm *still* fighting, using mplayer and a higher debug level, what I *think* the significant message is (this is just one example line): libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 5 more bits fps = 15.626953, interval = 0.096001, a_skew = 0.000000, corr_skew = 0.000000 vcnt = 1, acnt = 0 Which seems to indicate that for some

Does anyone know of a reliable site to d/l a tarball of gspca? *NOTHING* I've tried works on those two servers, suggesting to me that there's some weird bug in the driver that's in the kernel. They remain, as I mentioned, about the top 15% ok, and the rest green screen (which I've googled to find other folks, years ago, complaining about), so the only thing left I can think of is
