 Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 2:57 am Post subject: MythTv upgrade to .19-r1 disables FireWire input [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Greetings,
I know that firewire is working in the kernel and I
can manually record a channel using test-mpeg2 utility
from the libiec61883 package:
test-mpeg2 -r 2 spongebob.ts
This results in a valid mpeg and plays back in
mplayer, vlc.
Now when I try to emerge mythtv with IEEE1394 use
flag, etc, the ebuild shows '--enable-firewire', but
under Basic Settings Input it
says 'Firwire Support No'.
When starting mythbackend it logs that No FireWire
support built-in, Please re-compile with Firewire
support.
I am curious if anyone else has success with .19
recording off the Motorola 6208 STB?
mythtv ~ # emerge -pv mythtv
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] media-tv/mythtv-0.19-r1 +alsa
(-altivec) +arts -dbox2 -debug +dvb +dvd -frontendonly
+ieee1394 -jack -joystick -lcd +lirc +mmx +nvidia

| I haven't gone to .19 yet due to limited time. I hope to go there soon. I'm currently running .18 with firewire. Do you have ieee1394 in your USE flags? |

Yes, I am using the IEEE1394 im my USE flags and I it worked quite well for me as well with .18-rc2. For the record here are my USE flags in my /etc/make.conf to build the mythbox.
| Code: |
USE="3dnow 3dnowext a52 aac cdda cddb cdparanoia css divx4linux dri dv dvb dvd
dvdr dvdread ieee1394 mjpeg mmx mmxext mpeg2 mpeg4 mplayer mythtv network
nvidia real sse sse-filters symlink threads transcode v4l v4l2
video_cards_nvidia win32codecs xvmc" |
Also, I have these USE flags set in /etc/portage/package.use
| Code: | /etc/portage/package.use
sys-libs/glibc userlocales
media-video/vlc dvd ffmpeg mpeg mad wxwindows aac dts a52 ogg flac theora oggvorbis matroska freetype bidi xv svga gnutls stream vlm httpd cdda vcd cdio live
media-libs/libiec61883 examples ### The examples flag will get you the 'test-mpeg2' utility to manual record off the STB###

Time is not on myside either...

Myth tries to auto-set flags by detecting the libraries for each option. Myth needs pretty recent versions of the firewire libraries to run (at least according to it's configure script  ). I'm running svn, so I might be a bit too bleeding edge, but here's what I have in /etc/portage/package.keywords to keep the firewire libraries recent enough for myth to pick it up:
| Code: |
# These packages required by mythtv-svn and only available ~x86
<=media-libs/libiec61883-1.0.0-r1 ~x86
<=sys-libs/libavc1394-0.5.1
<=sys-libs/libraw1394-1.2.0 ~x86

Hobbes-X You nailed it. Without having defined libavc1394 in my /etc/portage/package.keywords.
I was defaulting to sys-libs/libavc1394-0.4.1
After updating my /etc/portage/package.keywords with.
| Code: | | <=sys-libs/libavc1394-0.5.1 |
I re-emerged mythtv and voila!, the firewire came back to life.
Thanks,
Jamtek |

Just filed a bug for it to RDEPEND on libavc1394-0.5.0. Dunno why I've got 0.5.1 in there, it looks like it doesn't even exist  Anyways, 0.5.0 is what the myth configure script checks for. |

Cool, for the future, I have updated my /etc/portage/package.keywords with.
| Code: | | <=sys-libs/libavc1394-0.5.0 |
Thanks for filing the bug report, it should save others some grief.  |
