[mythtv-users] Getting SA3250HD firewire to work with mythtv....

[Nathan A. Smith]

Hi,

I have the forementioned cable box I would like to work with my SVN
version of mythtv.

I have followed the howto from here:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/FireWire

and tried the primer from here:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Firewire_Priming

with no avail.

Plugreport returns the following:

[root at mythtv mythtv]# plugreport
Host Adapter 0
==============

Node 0 GUID 0x000f21bcab700000
------------------------------
oMPR n_plugs=1, data_rate=2, bcast_channel=63
oPCR[0] online=1, bcast_connection=0, n_p2p_connections=2
        channel=0, data_rate=1, overhead_id=0, payload=146
iMPR n_plugs=0, data_rate=2

Node 1 GUID 0x0010dc0001021848
------------------------------
libiec61883 error: error reading oMPR
libiec61883 error: error reading iMPR


firewire_tester returns this:

[root at mythtv mythtv]# firewire_tester -p -n 0 -r 5 -v
raw1394: Allocating handle, port 0.
Action: Test P2P connection 5 times, node 0, channel 0

What may I be missing?

BTW: system is a dual-core athlon 3800 based machine.  I am using
Mandriva 2007 as the OS. And all the modules from the howto are loaded,
except the eth1394 which was causing me some network issues.
