It should now be fixed with the new VideoService.py and VideoProducerService.py I posted in another email. > i have a hunch that this error message is related to that... > ///////// > INFO:ServiceManager:Using services dir: /home/aguser/.AccessGrid/local_services > INFO:ServiceManager:__DiscoverResources > config: invalid value for input: (null) > valid choices for "input": "Television", "Composite1", "S-Video", "Composite3" > config: invalid value for input: (null) > ///////// That's just harmless stderr output from /usr/bin/v4lctl. I think I'm going to modify Config.py in the /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/AccessGrid/Platform/unix directory, so that it provides more userfreindly feedback, which includes redirecting the stderr of /usr/bin/v4lctl to /dev/null. > smaller: > same issue as above with VideoProducerServices, plus i cannot see my > video streams in the VIC. > the obvious solution is to use VideoServices rather than VideoProducerServices. Do you mean with VideoProducer, the vic video thumbnail is muted (there is a mute toggle button next to each of the video thumbnails in vic)? If that's what you mean, then that's a feature rather than a bug. Cheers, Doug
