Firewire recording in Vancouver
I'm desperate...is there anyone in Vancouver that has recording over Firewire from a Motorola 6200 box working?
For the life of me, I can't get it working and am not sure why. I'd even pay for someone to help...

It is a bit tedious, but I used this guide (found in the massive firewire recording thread) to get FW recording working.
SageTV Firewire Settop Box Tuner Setup.pdf The only thing I changed from the install guide were the sage.properties file to the following (I think it was missing a line or something): mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/available_channels= mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/brightness=130 mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/contrast=135 mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/device_name= mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/hue=125 mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/last_channel= mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/provider_id= mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/saturation=105 mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/sharpness=170 mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/tuning_mode= mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/tuning_plugin= mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/tuning_plugin_port=0 mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/video_crossbar_index=0 mmc/encoders/12345/1/0/video_crossbar_type=10 mmc/encoders/12345/audio_capture_device_name= mmc/encoders/12345/audio_capture_device_num=0 mmc/encoders/12345/audio_processor= mmc/encoders/12345/capture_config= mmc/encoders/12345/default_device_quality=DVD Standard Play mmc/encoders/12345/encoder_merit=0 mmc/encoders/12345/encoding_host=localhost\:6969 mmc/encoders/12345/last_cross_index=0 mmc/encoders/12345/last_cross_type=10 mmc/encoders/12345/live_audio_input= mmc/encoders/12345/never_stop_encoding=false mmc/encoders/12345/video_capture_device_name=Firewire Tuner mmc/encoders/12345/video_capture_device_num=0 mmc/encoders/12345/video_encoding_params=DVD Standard Play mmc/encoders/12345/video_processor= And, in the sgraphrecorder.ini I've found a tuning delay of 8000 gives me no recording errors. I have sage running as a service, and I've made it dependent on SGR (also run as a service) to make sure it always loads. Firewire works great, the only thing is that there's a small handful of HD channels that have the 5c flag set that you can't capture from.

Which line was missing from the properties file?
I see the files being created in the Sage recording directory, but Sage just doesn't play them. It just continually says "no signal". Curiously, if I have Sage open and also Windows Explorer open at the same time while it's recording, Sage only seems to recognize it after I hit 'watch show' and then I switch to view the directory that the file is sitting in. If I never look at the directory, Sage never displays the show. Is that weird or what? Why would this be, and how can I solve for it? I've played with the tuning delay and that doesn't seem to make a difference...
