2 cams on one computer?
Posted: 18 Jul 2006 17:25
Anyone have 2 cams of the same model working together on the same computer? Now that I've got one cam up and streaming, I'm looking at adding another cam (or 3), to minimize the amount of computers I'm going to have to weather-proof (and provide power and netowrk and...) for camming up our zoo...
I'm using 2 of the Logitech Quickcam 4000 Pros, just one works fine, but when I add the second cam to the mix, things lock up and I get messages like
v4l demuxer error: failed capturing new frame
on the second camera, and the first camera just stops broadcasting.
Running Ubuntu 6.06, the saliard.org pwc driver, VLC passes a UDP stream off to Darwin Streaming Server, all on one box. Ideas, thoughts, comments, etc. are appreciated.
