LinuxQuestions.org - How to get LMLbt44 to work right

Support for the LML cards is in the newer Linux kernels so it's not necessary to patch the kernel. However, to get things working right:

Code:

pico /etc/init.d/bttv

Add the following lines:

Code:

rmmod bt878

rmmod bttv

modprobe bttv card=118,118,118,118,118,118,118,118

depmod -a

And then

Code:

chmod +x /etc/init.d/bttv

You'll also want to edit /etc/modules.conf
(there's probably a better or newer way to do this)

Code:

alias char-major-81 videodev



alias char-major-81-0 bttv



alias char-major-81-64 bttv



options bttv card=118,118,118,118

The lml site suggest making a .xawtv file as follows:

[global]

[defaults]
norm = NTSC
input = Composite1
key = 1

[Camera2]
input = Composite2
key = 2

I've found that often -noxv is a necessary option. Also I've only been able to only see one camera with xawtv (but multiple using Zoneminder).

For xawtv

Code:

xawtv -noxv -C /dev/video0 #(or video1, video2, video3)

For Zoneminder I set the resolution at 420x360
