Probem with camera device from orbiters

[joerod]

I don't know if I missed something, but I reinstalled the core using the latest snapshot this weekend and worked fairly well (I will update the wiki and check the tickets as Saturday night).  I'm having a small issue I didn't have before and thate security camera setup... 

Motion records perfectly and has all the folders setup correct (had to fix the permissions inside /home/cameras/) but it is saving the latest shots, recordings, timelapse, etc.  These are analog cameras using a bluecherry capture card. 

So, everythings cool; but when I click on the device using the padorbiter or any on-screen orbiter (including webadmin).  I don't get a picture.  according to syslog motion seems to start up fine; I can even see a picture if I access "http://dcerouter:<motion created port>"

Is this this a known issue with the lastest snapshot or am I missing something...

Check the scenario in question (web admin -> wizard -> scenarios -> security scenarios) has the correct device # (device # for the camera).

Cheers,
Matt.

well, I'm not exactly sure what its suppose to say in the scenario editor in webadmin but i have to select "Edit scenario using wizard:  Advanced Wizard" and that indicates PK_screen: 15 and PK_device: <correct camera device id>

so i guess its ok, and again in the web admin "securty - cameras" it lists the cameras but then just show a broken link (file) where the camera image should be...

but in /home/cameras/<deviceid>/2011/2/11/<recording, snapshots, etc>  i have the correct data...

is this a bug, known issue, or I misconfigured something?

I did some more investigating and found this in the motion log file:

it would seem the three analog cameras don't have a "custom event handler" I'm not sure what that means.... but I did follow these directions very carefully: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Monitor_surveillance_cameras

any suggestions?
