Nope, no dice. I deleted the node config on display, and removed the Video directories from ~/.AccessGrid3/local_services/ Same thing. I definately have different devices selected in the node config. Though one thing that I think is strange is that I only have 4 capture cards, and 8 listed devices when adding a node service...
V4L:/dev/video3 V4L:/dev/video2 V4L:/dev/video1 V4L:/dev/video0 V4L2:/dev/video3 V4L2:/dev/video2 V4L2:/dev/video1 V4L2:/dev/video0 I seem to remember in the past the devices were only listed as /dev/videoX and there definately wasn't 2 per device. Either way... if I pick the V4L or the V4L2, I get the same result. -J Christoph Willing wrote: > > On 24/08/2007, at 5:52 AM, James Miller wrote: > >> I have an XP display machine which runs the venue client and the node >> configuration.
