ZMU command error and Zone Minder

[npaisnel]

Have tried posting this on the Zoneminder software forum, but no one can answer this.

In order to set up ZM to see the camera, you run a CLI command to extract the setup data from the camera.

The camera works, I can see its output using xawtv.

Trying to get a camera installed.

This is what I get

neil@Kubuntu:~$ zmu -d <0> -q -v
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `0'
neil@Kubuntu:~$ zmu -d 0 -q -v
Aborted (core dumped)
neil@Kubuntu:~$ sudo zmu -d 0 -q -v
Password:
Error, failed to open video device 0: No such file or directory
neil@Kubuntu:~$ zmfix -a
Aborted (core dumped)
neil@Kubuntu:~$

Anyone know what is going on here?

Re: ZMU command error and Zone Minder

I know nothing about ZoneMinder, but I suspect where you have

sudo zmu -d 0 -q -v

you need

sudo zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v

as it's expecting a V4L device there. (This assumes your camera is on /dev/video0.)
