I'm seeing the same here. (Yet another reason why I wanted to drop vidcat from the process). I tried to work around it by setting an env var with putevn() but apparently that's process specific because in testing the second process never saw the first processes env var lock. So the next step is to use file locking to serilaize requests, this is just to fugly for my tastes. > > Some of the time code got ripped and used in this silly Dr-Fun script: > http://www.nirvani.net/software/dr-fun-1.0.0.php.asc I'll check it out and see if anything is helpfull. I'll share anything I find out. As I said, my picture perfect code would have a php4 function to interface with v4l. It really shouldn't be *too* hard. If no one else can point out where this was done before I guess I'll start with the vidcat source and try to put a php function call wrapper around it. -- Scott
