I have motion-3.2.4 on a gentoo system with kernel 2.6.16-gentoo-r13 #8 SMP.
The capture card has an RCA connection composite1 (I assume input 1 to motion)
and a S-Video (I assume input 3 to motion)?
I have the kernel customized with v4l modular as well as the appropriate
bt848.
XAWTV works fine with both connections I just have to swap back and forth and
cannot run concurrent (obviously) so I lose the difference functionality in
Gerd's webcam utility. I was hoping to use motion as advertised getting this
difference ability back. (when using 2 cams) I understand the caveat where
the switching causes slight frame loss and its not really a problem.
I customized the following confs in a directory of their own...
motion-dist.conf thread1.conf thread2.conf
when I invoke motion as a first test I get the following...
motion -d 5 -c motion/motion-dist.conf
[0] Processing thread 0 - config file motion/motion-dist.conf
[0] Processing config file motion/thread1.conf
[0] Processing config file motion/thread2.conf
[0] Thread is from motion/thread1.conf
[0] Thread is from motion/thread2.conf
[1] Thread started
[1] Capture error calling vid_start
[1] Thread finishing...
Any ideas what is missing here? I commented a lot of the confs out sql and
such.
specifying input 1 on thread1 and input 3 on thread2
and device /dev/video0 (which as I had said appears to be working)
lsmod

(sound stuff)
I manually loaded the compat module thinking it might help but xawtv was not
using it.
Thanks for any direction!
