Tom & anyone else who is interested, Our lab bought a Winnov Videum Quattro (not the 4400 VO) because we wanted to be able to capture 4 s-video sources, instead of just 4 BNC. After a long hassle with Winnov, I finally got the card working with some old VFW drivers. By working I mean that I can run the incluced videum capture program and see the different video streams if I change the source.
However, I have not been able to get this card to work with the AG. With AGTk 2.4, I am seeing 4 winnov videum options when I add a VideoProducerService and these options all correspond to devices in the vic menu. This is good, because this wasn't always the case in 2.3, even with the patch. The resource names are: Videum Video Capture WnvVid32.dll 1_Videum_AVX_AV_(PCI) WnvVid32.dll 2_Videum_AVX_AV_(PCI) WnvVid32.dll 3_Videum_AVX_AV_(PCI) The one labeled Videum Video Capture works (although the image is upside down). The other three do not work. Vic starts and the correct devices are selected, but the video is just a black screen. I know the other cameras are working properly, because I can switch which cable goes to the one that works and see the other cameras. So then I started looking at the log files and I can see where all of the resources are assigned in the venue client log. In the VideoProducer log, I'm getting an exception mapping the device. Tom, I'll send the log files along to you in a separate email if you wouldn't mind taking a look. I thought I would send this one to the list in case anyone else was dealing with the same problem and might benefit from the solution. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Chris PS: Here's an excerpt from the log of the exception: 09/01/05 17:55:22 3604 Toolkit agservice.py:136 INFO ConfigureStream: video 224.2.177.155 55524 09/01/05 17:55:22 3604 Toolkit videoproducerservice.py:170 INFO Mapping windows device: WnvVid32.dll 1_Videum_AVX_AV_(PCI) 09/01/05 17:55:22 3604 Toolkit videoproducerservice.py:172 INFO - videum 09/01/05 17:55:22 3604 Toolkit videoproducerservice.py:217 ERROR Exception mapping device Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\agtech\Application Data\AccessGrid\local_services\VideoProducerService\VideoProducerService.py", line 215, in Start self.MapWinDevice(self.resource.resource) File "C:\Documents and Settings\agtech\Application Data\AccessGrid\local_services\VideoProducerService\VideoProducerService.py", line 174, in MapWinDevice videum_re = re.compile(".*(\d)_Videum.*") NameError: global name 're' is not defined 09/01/05 17:55:22 3604 Toolkit videoproducerservice.py:291 INFO Starting VideoProducerService 09/01/05 17:55:22 3604 Toolkit videoproducerservice.py:292 INFO executable = C:\Documents and Settings\agtech\Application Data\AccessGrid\local_services\VideoProducerService\vic.exe 09/01/05 17:55:22 3604 Toolkit videoproducerservice.py:293 INFO options = ['-u', 'C:/DOCUME~1/agtech/LOCALS~1/Temp/VideoProducerService_2104.vic', '-C', '"dll1"', '-t', '127', '224.2.177.155/55524'] 09/01/05 17:55:22 3604 ProcessManager processmanager.py:59 DEBUG Creating process: C:\Documents and Settings\agtech\Application Data\AccessGrid\local_services\VideoProducerService\vic.exe -u C:/DOCUME~1/agtech/LOCALS~1/Temp/VideoProducerService_2104.vic -C "dll1" -t 127 224.2.177.155/55524 09/01/05 17:55:22 3604 ProcessManager processmanager.py:72 DEBUG Create process returns: (<PyHANDLE object at 0x0129971C>, <PyHANDLE object at 0x0129DD94>, 1108, 1084) -- Chris Rosenthal Electronic Visualization Laboratory University of Illinois - Chicago Phone: 312.996.3002
