My experience has been this, and it covers nearly everything you guys talk about:
1) before the firewire patch Jim made, I only got firewire capture every 3rd to 5th time 2) After the patch, it works great, except after reboots of the Myth machine. To solve that I have to use the test-mpeg tool to "prime the pump" so to speak. Once it gives capture streams a couple of times, the broadcast code seems to always work. 3) Sometimes after reboots or other oddities it gets on the 0 node. If that's the case abandon ship, reboot, unplug, replug, repeat until it gets back the hell where it belongs. These boxes are a little flakey but they seem to be great once you get them into the prime state and then never touch them or your myth machine again. -Todd -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of andrew burke Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 3:11 PM To: Development of mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv] [patch] firewire broadcast connection It's one of the motorola 6200 series boxes from RCN. > what set top box do you have? > > jim > > Jeremy Muhlich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote [03.11.05]: >> I'm not sure it's mythtv's fault, as the test_mpeg tool from the >> linux1394/iec61883 package exhibits the same problems.
