Gentlemen, I posted this to the dev list, but haven't gotten a response, I feel it might have been "lost" in the thread to the uninterested.
I'm hoping its a trivial thing to do, I'm just not equiped to do such a change and am hoping one of you might be able to whip something together in a few minutes for me to test. One of the issues I'm tracking as part of my firewire "project" is why the DCT62xx series misses recordings sometimes. Now that I finally got my DCT62xx capturing via firewire (added a second cablebox), I think I may have found a way around the problem. Most people said they had to unplug the cable from the box and plug it back in to "reset" it, which is something I found as well. Jeremy suggested I use gscanbus to reset the bus instead, wonderfuly, his suggestion was spot on allowing me to not have to crawl behind my home theatre equipment anymore. I've "tested" this method of fixing quite a few times as I find the connection gets lost at least once a day, and usually everytime no signal is collected from the box for ~2hrs. I was wondering if one of you could whip together a patch that will force a reset on the Host(Port)/Node that the firewire connection is on before every recording and every entry into LiveTV? This may also help channel changes, so perhaps placing the bus reset before Myth changes the channel would be a good place for this step to go.
