[mythtv-users] FW: firewire help

[Alex Pedenko]

Hey all

	I'm trying to work through some firewire issues. At first, I had
it setup in a p2p configuration and it worked intermittently, cutting
out every other video request (or so). I found a few threads in the
archives about boxes that show up on node 1 liking broadcast more, so I
did that and that helped a bit - now it would take a few times after a
reboot to get video, but then it was rock solid. Now I can't even get
video. When I try through test-mpeg2, it sends a feed, but if I fire up
the front end right after and try to watch tv either nothing happens
(backend shows the standard 15s timeout) or it crashes out on me with
this error

It's gotten to the point where I can't get it to work at all. 

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
