This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --Apple-Mail-3-1013940723 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Okay, I think I have found my MythTV problem.... It seems to not be a Myth problem, but a driver one (again, I'm using the modified driver sent to the list recently): # cat /dev/cxm0 > test.mpg cat: /dev/cxm0: Device not configured # tail /var/log/messages Feb 27 11:39:03 mymachine kernel: cxm0: video decoder isn't locked Feb 27 11:39:03 mymachine kernel: Could not detect FPS Feb 27 11:39:03 mymachine kernel: could not config dec Feb 27 11:39:03 mymachine kernel: could not start encoder I've found some information about this error dating back to 2004: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2004-March/ 000922.html No resolution though... Are other users of this modified port/driver having this problem?
