Ahh, ok. So this is something that's being worked on. I just
recompiled just to get firewire working... so I guess there's no harm
in trying out this new build either.
Is the multirec branch part of svn? I've only ever used svn for
updating mythweb, but if multirec is in svn I should be able to figure
it out.
Thanks for the suggestion.
