Fw: cxm0 and motion capture

[Mr. Darren]

This is from the log..
Jun 24 16:02:20 digitalweb motion: [1] v4l_start: set input [8]
Jun 24 16:02:30 digitalweb motion: [1] Retrying until successful connection with camera
Jun 24 16:02:30 digitalweb motion: [1] v4l_start: set input [8]
Just does that over and over again.
motion.conf is mostly defaults.  
I uncommented tunerdevice and tried it with same results.

I was also able to capture some jpeg stills using ffmpeg.

I use ip cameras but I'll try to help.

Post what you have in motion.conf for the device settings. Change these two options and test.

videodevice /dev/cxm0
tunerdevice /dev/cxm0 <-- this needs to be uncommented
