Just an update to this, it may have been a permission problem, and I may
have self-resolved.
I found more information here:
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration
In particular, I read the section on 'Permissions and ownership for
/dev/fw*'. I realized the box (i.e. /dev/fw2 in my case) was coming up
with root only access. I implemented the udev rules recommended on that
page for 2.6.30 kernels and suddenly the box becomes visible to mythtv.
Specifically, making the /dev/fw2 accessible to the video group of which
my mythtv user is a member.
so now I get
# ls -l /dev/|grep fw
crw-rw---- 1 root root 250, 0 2009-09-15 09:19 fw0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 250, 1 2009-09-15 09:19 fw1
crw-rw---- 1 root video 250, 2 2009-09-15 09:19 fw2
I set up the encoder but no real chance to test yet as I have to be off
to work.
