I have a Shuttle box with a Via chipset, and as long as test-mpeg2 spews data, myth will always be able to record video. (Bryan said test-mpeg2 does work for him) The DCT6200 does seem to need a little prodding upon initial firewire connection (including myth backend reboot), but once I get it rolling it keeps working as long as everything stays powered and connected. This info has been posted to the list before but here it is again (-n is the node number): plugctl -n 0 oPCR[0].channel=63 plugctl -n 0 oPCR[0].bcast_connection=1 plugctl -n 0 oPCR[0].n_p2p_connections=1 # plugreport will still show 0! If it still won't sent video after that, sometimes I can make it work by forcing a firewire bus reset with gscanbus. In a few cases, I've needed to power cycle the cable box and rerun plugctl. I haven't been able to nail down a sequence of operations that makes the box work 100% of the time after connection, but just those plugctl commands does the job most of the time. Does anyone with a non-Via chipset need to do this plugctl junk? -- Jeremy
