[mythtv-users] Firewire modules do not load... test-mpeg2

[Kenneth Emerson]

It appears that many people have firewire working with Motorola STBs with
little or no problems.  I am very close and do not know whether I'm chasing
a STB bug, a MythTV bug, or my cable company's screwing with me.

I removed the external channel changer from the cardinput record.  I then
set up about eight recordings over a 24 hour period.  The first five worked
fine.  On the sixth, The Da Vinci Code on TNTHD, the recording started OK
and 25 minutes into it the video was lost.  The BE tried forever to
reestablish contact with the STB:

I tried restarting the BE and got the same behavior.  I stopped the BE and
ran scanfw.  It said the channel was encrypted (CCI bit set).  I ran it
again about a minute later and it said the channel was clear.  I waited
another minute and ran it again and it said the channel was clear.  I
restarted the BE and it began recording the movie once again.  If there is
anything to say about the BE is that it produced 13MB of useless log file
while it tried to reset the firewire port.

Is this something that we just have to live with?  Anyone have this same
problem?

Running trunk, v21133, ubuntu 9.04, firewire set up as broadcast and
200mbps, DCH3200 STB.
