[mythtv-users] Getting firewire working

[Dan Gapinski]

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu Dapper, and

ashembers at codger:~$ lsmod|grep 1394
dv1394                 21196  0
raw1394                30956  0
ohci1394               35124  1 dv1394
ieee1394              299832  4 sbp2,dv1394,raw1394,ohci1394
scsi_mod              139496  5 sr_mod,sbp2,sg,sd_mod,libata

So I think to myself "Great! Firewire modules are working" and then I run
plugreport...

ashembers at codger:~$ sudo plugreport
Password:
Host Adapter 0

Node 0 GUID 0x0014f8b4ec520000
------------------------------
oMPR n_plugs=1, data_rate=2, bcast_channelc
oPCR[0] online=1, bcast_connection=0, n_p2p_connections=1
        channel=0, data_rate=0, overhead_id=0, payload6
iMPR n_plugs=0, data_rate=2

Node 1 GUID 0x00e01800006826bd
------------------------------
libiec61883 error: error reading oMPR
libiec61883 error: error reading iMPR

So my firewire device (an SA3250HD) is on 0,0. I then try to run the
test-mpeg script. When I run test-mpeg, I get this output and a zero-length
mpeg file:

sudo ./test-mpeg2 -r 1 > test.mpg
libiec61883 warning: No plugs exist on either node; using default broadcast
channel 63.
Starting to receive
done.

I don't get it. What else should I be checking?
Thanks in advance everyone!
