[AG-TECH] 2.2 video problems.

[Victor M. Babson, Jr.]

Okay,

So I had this linux box with 2.1.2 working just fine.

Now that I have removed 2.1.2 and installed 2.2 I can't seem to get any video feed working.  I installed xawtv (wasn't installed for 2.1.2 -- but v4l2 was).

VenueClient runs and connects okay.  In fact everything seems to run just fine, but I can't seem to get any video feed except for x11 which is working okay.  I have a spectra 8 card:

When running a prog like xcam, I can see my video feed just fine.  When I try using xawtv, however, I get a blank screen.  I've tried xawtv 3.54 to 3.93.

I've seen some posts that say I should edit the videopath in  /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/AccessGrid/Platform/unix/Config.py to point to /dev instead of /proc/video/dev.  I've done this, but it just makes the x11 feed disappear.

Tom!!  Help!!  I'd like to get 2.2 going.

P.S. -- You don't have to be Tom if you can offer some help! :)
