#8371: Firewire recording doesn't work on Intel Macs
-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
Reporter: Ojas Parekh <mythtv@…> | Owner: danielk
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: MythTV - Recording | Version: 0.23rc2
Severity: medium | Mlocked: 0
-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
From the [http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_on_Mac_OS_X MythTV on OS X
wiki]:
"(As of mythtv 0.21-fixes-20090316) There is one important note if trying
to record via FireWire on an Intel Mac. The MythBackend cannot get a LAM
lock signal when recording TV via FireWire. The solution is to check the
"Open with Rosetta" checkbox on the Get Info panel of MythBackend.app. See
this [http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/352434#352434
post] for information.
Because of this, it's important to open MythBackend.app from the Finder
and not from a Terminal window because it won't open with Rosetta. There
must be some PPC-specific FireWire code in there."
I believe I've identified and fixed the issue, but I need help testing.
With the patch below, I'm able to get a LAM lock on my Intel Mini and
record successfully but occasionally have errors with certain channels.
I'd like to know if the latter is related to the above bug, cause by a
more general firewire (on OS X) bug, or just an issue I have with my
particular provider and location. I've also cleaned up some OS X
firewire-related header includes.
