Hello to all.
I'm having problems trying to connect a unibrain's fire-i firewire board camera in GEM. When I send a [driver 1( message and then [device /dev/video1394/0( to pix_video i get :
initializing: Inappropriate ioctl for device
If I send [driver 0( message I get
get capabilities: Inappropriate ioctl for device
The camera works under coriander no problem. I use it with openFrameworks also. It doesn't work with dvgrab. http://www.unibrain.com/Products/Vision … e_i_BC.htm http://www.unibrain.com/Products/VisionImg/Fire_i_BC.htm
A sony minidv firewire camera does work with pix_video however.
Since my Debian system is a mess I downloaded pure:dyne's leek and potato to test the camera and had the same results. The miso version gave the same results.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've searched the mail archives and every resource I could think of. I'm new to linux so maybe I'm missing some basic stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Debian lenny/sid. Kernel 2.6.24
thankyou.
pure:dyne never has worked with firewire for me, but i have used dyne:bolic with firewire with great results, but i have tested only audio, dyne:bolic has GEM and i have used flawessly but not tried capturing video by firewire yet. Maybe you can try using dyne:bolic and using the "modules" of pure:dyne for puredata and GEM so you can get a newer version than dyne:bolic has inside, that's the way i have used pd+gem in dybe:bolic with no problems so far

have you tried coriander? I know it is the way to make firewire cameras work in linux using libdc, but had no luck interfacing with gem. it is something I've putting off for a while,

it seems like i don't have any device that properly works with coriander. however, from what i read, coriander can create a videoloopback device which can then be used by Gem as an ordinary "v4l" device.
have you tried that? if it doesn't work, how does it fail?

Well, I'll send the details as soon as i get a hand of the computer where i use it.
From what I remember, I expected to find the device in /video0 and
when I sent pix_video the dev /video0 I did't get an error message, but I did't get an image either. When I try /video1 however i get device doesn't exist or similar message.
I should get back to you with more precise errors soon.

The coriander approach sounds like a great idea, this camera works no problem under it and you get total control over its functions. It would be out of my league to try to make that work myself, but I can help with testing if that's of any use.

I have coriander in the debian machine, I configured that computer about 8 months ago, left it in an expo and only got it back this week, so details about how I got it working are gone from my memory. However, in pure:dyne's leek&potato livecd a basic apt-get install coriander will get it working.

i finally got hands on a camera that is supported by coriander ("Unibrain Fire-i BCL 1.2"), and it works fine with Gem using coriander & vloopback.
notes:
- ubuntu does not come with vloopback modules
- i was using a ubuntu/intrepid machine which has a 2.6.27 kernel
installed and the debian vloopback-source module is version 1.1 which does not work with >=2.6.27; i had to install vloopback-1.2 [1] which worked
- the loopback device is of fixed size and this size somehow does not
get propagated to Gem correctly; i had to manually set the size to the one i knew i was using (640x480)
