[Bug 6290] Re: DV capture over Firewire is broken

2008-09-30 Thread Dan Dennedy
In that case you should expect that running as root would allow it to work, but you reported it is not. If both ieee1394 and firewire subsystems are enabled in the kernel, then it may create this problem: grep FIREWIRE /boot/config-$(uname -r) -- DV capture over Firewire is broken https://bugs.l

Kino has not supported video1394 for years. You are meaning dv1394 when you write "video1394." Also, why do you think I did not enable that option by default? The answer is that it imposes major usability issues. The new firewire subsystem and libraw1394 2.0 have resolved the security issue with u

I have developed a simple patch for raw1394 that I am just beginning to test that addresses the raw1394 security issue in a way completely different than Jody's proposal. One drawback to using many different device files is the impact of that change on the libraries and applications that will take

Yeah, linux1394 was late to the udev game, and I suspect the kernel name will be a popular default for udev rule makers. I believe Dapper will be a popular version for quite a while. Oh well, I will consider changing the Kino default dv1394 device name or simply try a few popular names in addition

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 6290 *** dv1394 does not implement the camera control protocol. libavc1394, which uses raw1394 does. Why? Well, it is a matter of these being different protocol from differing standards bodies and the history of their implementations. It is still possible to capt

Kino is not able to use video1394, and usage of video1394 for DV is deprecated. The best solution at the moment is to create a new group for raw1394. On Thursday 25 May 2006 07:04, preciousp wrote: > Hope you donĀ“t mind me asking but could you guide me (and others) on what > to do. > Is it. > 1.

Thank you for not revolting at my tone in my earlier response. I agree we need to improve the kernel interface, and the issue has come up in the linux1394-devel mailing list. However, I do not forsee a solution coming in the near-to-mid-term. In the meantime, I was hoping to give users something

People who have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to Linux 1394 should not be trusted as an authority in this matter. What is so difficult about creating a group named "raw1394" and assigning group ownership of /dev/raw1394 to it? Then, any user who trusts themselves on their own
