I have been experimenting with some beta drivers for my osprey 100
cards. I have been writing some Perl cgi scripts to take pictures across
the web in real time. The drivers seem pretty robust and I am using
"streamer" to take the single jpegs from each of the ospreys ports
(composite0, composite1, composite2, svideo) it is working ok most of the
time. but when the images start to darken (night time) then I start seeing
problems, like half the image will turn green (usually bottom half) or I
get some horizontal stripes in the images (it gets "well" the next
morning). and occasionally I get a message "queueing frame twice". I have
the output from "streamer" below.
Questions:
1. any simpler command line frame grabbers that I can use to help diagnose
the problem? Note I need support for all the ports.
2. Is all this output from streamer normal or is it from the Osprey beta
drivers.
3. why is it "queueing frame twice"?
thanks
Jim
