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
