On MythTV on Mac OS X you say "firewire support possible" for the macport version of MythTV.
Looking at the code for the portfile it sets the configure option --disable-firewire and the firewire option doesn't appear in the settings.
How does one enable firewire support on the macports version of MythTV?
Firewire capture
I have a one-off version of the port that builds 0.25 with firewire enabled. The other necessary ingredient is Apple's Firewire SDK. As I read the license, it may not be distributed in any way and hence can't go on MacPorts.
Only a single user is running Firewire variant at present. Are you interested?
