State of Firewire

Hi,

I am using Mythbuntu weekly builds Trunk r20673. Trying to add a firewire
card.

test-mpeg2 and firewire_tester works 100% but myth fails to record any data.

Info:
STB: SA8300HD
MB: M2NPV-VM (onboard nvidia firewire)

I have added the card in setup and configured a channel changer. Everything
seems to be working. When i record a show i get a 5.1kb file. If i view
live tv all i see is a black screen w/ OSD. Myth doesnt even error out.

When a recording occurs i can use firewire_tester and get packets. Also,
test-mpeg2 works. It seems there is something myth is doint internally and
not dumping the stream to disk.

some logs:
mitchell [at] mytht:~$ sudo ./firewire_tester -p -P 0 -n 1 -r 5

Looks like your firewire box might not be sending out PAT/PMT tables
needed by MythTV's recorder. Try this test:
1) Record a stream using test-mpeg2 for 10 seconds or s
2) Use dvbsnoop to look through the file for a PAT:
dvbsnoop -s ts -if TESTFILENAME | grep "PID: 0"

Where TESTFILENAME is your file recorded with test-mpeg2. If your cable
box is like mine, you see a ton of "PID: 8191", some of another PID,
then very few (percentage wise) of another PID. If this is all you see,
congratulations, myth can't find your program in the stream!

If this is the case, do not despair, for I can supply you with a patch
that adds PID autodetect and fixes the problem completely. Apply
against libs/libmythtv/
http://capnbry.net/~bmayland/fi/code/sigmon.diff

If responding, make sure you CC my main email address because I rarely
check the list.

Bryan, Thank You for the reply.

So i install dvbsnoob and ran it on a test-mpeg2 file. When i Grep'ed for
"PID: 0" I got nothing. I then did a grep for just PID. Here is what I
see:

Looking thru the file about 99.9% have PID 66 (0x0042) with a few being PID:
67 (0x0043)

So what does this tell me? Will the patch fix it or do i need a diff fix?

Patch may fix that, because there's definitely no PAT which is what Myth is waiting for. I can't say it will fix it for sure without seeing hex dumps of a bunch of packets, and I'm not even sure I'd be able to see for sure then, because I wrote this patch like 2 years ago.

What the patch actually does is looks at every TS packet coming in and finds a sync byte indicating the start of a PES packet, which contains the type of stream in the PID. If the stream type is an audio or video type, it save the PID and once it gets both it creates a PAT and PMT with the information and injects it into the stream which Myth finds and "locks" and carries on. After Myth locks, no further packets are inspected. I am relatively certain that this procedure will work for you, assuming the file you capture in test-mpeg2 plays in mplayer, because it just plays the first 2 streams it finds.

So if you don't understand the technical aspect of what I said, the answer is "It almost certainly will work". :)

Doh! I'm not sure. You're going to have to dig into the packets to
figure out why myth doesn't like them. My log looks something like this

The difference being mine gets Seen(PAT) and then March(PAT). Also you
see the stream detector finding Video and Audio stream identifiers in
their respective PIDs. Maybe check with dvbsnoop to see if it can
detect the stream types. Run dvbsnoop -s ts -if XXXX | grep PES-stream

13818-2 or ISO/IEC 11172-2 video stream]

Before I do too much digging does it look like i have the patch on
correctly?

Attached is a diff of the entire tree.

My snoop looks almost identical to yours:

Thank you so much for your replies Bryan. Would this be something we could
troubleshoot faster over a chat? I pretty much available whenever (im in
Central timezone)

Ok, i just started from scratch. Deleted my tree than reissued the patch
via:

patch -p0 < /home/mitchell/sigmon.diff

when i was in the libsmythtv folder. seemed to apply cleanly. recompiled
and stateded the backend. I still do not see the
2009-06-24 09:52:25.555 Video SID seen in PID 144
2009-06-24 09:52:25.586 Video SID seen in PID 144
2009-06-24 09:52:25.618 Video SID seen in PID 144
2009-06-24 09:52:25.649 AC3A SID seen in PID 145
lines that you do.

Also one thing to mention. I am not issuing a "make install" I am just
going to the directory and starting the backend via ./mythbackend.... Is
this an issue?

Yes. The changes you are making are in libmythtv.
