Re: [mythtv-users] Firewire and DCT-6200

[Alex Brekken]

As another data point, I'm running 18.1 on FC3 and have been using FireWire on a DCT-6200 for a few months now.  I've got a Belkin FireWire card.  The main issue I have is the same that I've seen many other Firewire users complain about, which is often times when starting a recording (or LiveTV) it doesn't actually capture anything.  So you get either a zero-size file, or it just times out.  If you keep trying it will work, but I would say that roughly 40% of the time it doesn't.  Once it DOES start capturing it's great, but it's nowhere near reliable enough for me to use it as anything more than as an experimental thing.  Channel-changing, however, does work flawlessly all the time.

Was this using  Myth from src?... or running the lastest RPMs posted on ATrpms?

I'm running the latest "stable" (non-bleeding) RPMs, and have the same problems as Curtis.

My FireWire card:
Kouwell Model KW-1582V - (aka BTC 1394 PCI Card)
http://www.kouwell.com.tw/pr-m3.htm#1582v

If I recall correctly, it was listed in linux1394.org compatibility list at the time I bought it.


Thanks,

I should clarify that mine DOES work about 60-70% of the time.  I would obviously like to improve that though. :-)
