<br><br>I'm far from an expert, but are you sure that it's the firewire that's<br>not working here? To me, that log looks more like it's maybe a playback<br>problem. Have you tried scheduling a recording just to see if Myth is
<br>able to capture data, then playing it back in mplayer or something?<br><br>Greg<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org

I do think it is a mythfrontend playback issue but I can't figure out how to test it any better.
