[mythtv-users] Firewire Problems, was working

Output from plugreport:

Here is the plugctl commands that I have had to use in the past to get
firefire to work consistently:
#! /bin/sh
plugctl -n 0 oPCR[0].n_2p_connections=0
sleep 4
plugctl -n 0 oPCR[0].n_2p_connections=1
sleep 4
plugctl -n 0 oPCR[0].channel=63
sleep 4
plugctl -n 0 oPCR[0].bcast_connection=0
sleep 4
#plugctl -n 1 oPCR[0].n_2p_connections=0
#sleep 4
#plugctl -n 1 oPCR[0].n_2p_connections=1
#sleep 4
#plugctl -n 1 oPCR[0].channel=62
#sleep 4
#plugctl -n 1 oPCR[0].bcast_connection=0

I tried to compile and run the firewire_tester by running:
gcc -o firewire_tester firewire_test.c
and it doesn't compile. What is the proper command to compile the
firewire_tester?

Here is the output from running mythbackend -v channel,playback. I didn't go
in and setup the second firewire port in mythtv-setup because it seems to
break hidef just to have the second firewire box plugged in.
sh-3.00$ mythbackend -v channel,playback
