Watching Live TV Over Firewire?

It's my Powerbook and a Motorola 6200 HD DCT. I've gotten it to successfuly record streams via AVCVideoCap, VirtualDVHS and/or iRecord. But I'm wondering if there is any app\hack\etc that will allow me to watch this stream in live time. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you jrg_uk... I had troubles finding anything when I searched for keywords on these sites that I thought would have worked. I'll give these 2 apps a try when I get home. The other way I found to do this was to simply start a recording with AVCVideoCap and then play the file as it's recording to it... only gives it a 3-10 second delay, basicly how long it takes me to load the clip in to VLC and press play. But one of these apps look like it'd make this an even easier process. Thanks.

Apple TV 3 NHL watch live?

Hello
I wanted to ask whether it is possible to watch live NHL with Apple TV 3 from Switzerland? Or do I have to go through the app NHL GameCenter Live where they buy the upgrade and then stream with Airplay?
I hope you can help me!

If the existing NHL app does not give you what you need you are out of luck. The Airplay option is not likely to work either. AirPlay is required to block protected content by the copyright holders. Nothing Apple can do about it. So you probably will not be able to see the broadcast over it. The same way HBO2Go does not work on air play.

IPod no longer connects over FireWire

I have a 20 GB iPod with click wheel, which I think I purchased in 2004. I sync it with a Power Mac G5 dual 2.5GHz. I've never been able to sync it over USB, and according to Apple that's a known problem with this iPod and a G5...but up until a week or so ago, syncing over FireWire worked fine.
Now it doesn't. If I plug the iPod into my G5 with its FireWire cable, it starts to charge but the machine doesn't mount it. I get the same result plugging it into my MacBook via FireWire, but it works fine with USB. Initially I thought it might be the cable, but I got a replacement cable and the same thing happened.
Any idea what might be going on?

Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode.

Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800

Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800.
Over the past month, I have had problems when transfering files from my harddrive, over Firewire 800 to a portable drive. I usually transfer very large files (20gb or more) to the portable drives for moving files around. When I drag a file over to copy onto a drive, the transfer starts normally. If I drag more files to copy over, the computer screen goes darker and a large icon comes up that looks like a power button icon. It tells me to restart, so I have to do a hard shut down on my G5. Weird. I also get the dark screen of death sometimes when I am transfering those large files and open another application to do some work while it's copying. It's killing me. I am having to sit here and wait for the transfer to finish before I can do anything.
Any thoughts...

Can I display EyeTV's live TV over HDMI-out and be able to see my desktop using screen-sharing on a headless mac-mini used as a media-box?

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a new mac-mini to replace my current one which acts as an iTunes server and records TV programs using eyeTV. I connect using screen-sharing/VNC to be able to do stuff on it (like handbrake etc.)
I have eyeTV with a satelite receiver and I want to change the setup so that:
- the new mac-mini continues to work as an iTunes server (and handbrake workhorse)
- I can use the HDMI output (inc. audio) to show eyeTV's live TV full-screen app
- I can connect using screen-sharing/VNC to the mac-mini and see my normal desktop to be able to maintain it etc. but this is a headless display (no screen is connected to the display-port).
- recorded media I'd play through the appleTV2 still + rentals etc. unless anyone knows if eyeTV software can offer up iTunes content? I don't like the eyeTV recordings in general as it seems very slow to me for access when there are lots of recordings and wouldn't be available in other apleTVs in the house AFAIK.
The main benefit that this gives me is that I'd no longer need a seperate satelite box to watch live TV and can add more eyeTV hardware to get additional TV channels all through the same HUD on the TV for ease of access.
Does this seem possible in theory & practice (ie are there any gotcha's to consider?)
- can I force the HDMI output resolution to 1080i as I go via an amp to the TV and the appleTV2 drops to low-res in this configuration so I have had to find a workaround for that.
- does the mac-mini have IR input that can be programmed?
- Does eyeTV software remain stable for long periods?
- Does the HDMI out have any handshake issues that would need a reset of the display (somehow)?
thanks in advance for any thoughts/contributions
Lee

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Ipod G3 no longer syncs over FireWire

My older Ipod G3 (the one with four buttons above scroll wheel) no longer syncs to iTunes over FireWire. In fact the iPod will not show up at all over FireWire any longer?
It syncs over USB tough. But being G3 it cannot charge over USB and my battery is almost dead so I really need FireWire to work.
* It will charge over FireWire
* I have to differnet FW cables both showing same problem (and they have worked before)
* It sync over USB
* I have reset iPod
* It has worked before... (it's been sitting in the dock connected to my stereo in the living room)
I'm now thinking that either 10.5.3 or 10.5.2 update may have changed something in OS X to get this behaviour?
That is the only thing that has changed since I last tried to update this ipod (that I can think of)
/Roger

I know someone with a Power Mac G5 and a third gen iPod, and it works as expected under Leopard 10.5.3. We were messing around with it last week (iPod was sitting idle for a while and we got it working). So if it's a problem caused by OS upgrades, it is not a universal problem. If you have an alternate boot drive (or partition), you can see if a fresh install of Leopard (plus updates) makes a difference.
If it syncs over USB and charges over FireWire, you can continues to use it, although you will not be able to charge and sync at the same time with the standard cables. I don't think you will be able Restore from iTunes either, without the FireWire connection.
If you find that this problem is a hardware problem on the iPod's logic board, this special cable with two ends (FireWire and USB) may allow you to charge and sync at the same time.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9688G/A
It's meant for Windows PC users without FireWire (only USB) who want to use the 3G iPod, so they can charge (through FireWire connected to wall adapter) and sync (through USB) at the same time, and use Restore in iTunes.

I9900 no longer working over Firewire

I just updated to Leopard this afternoon, and went to print something, only to find out that my Canon i9900 is not showing up as an available printer. It shows up and works just fine if I hook it up with USB, but it no longer is detected over Firewire. I prefer Firewire only because of my current shortage of open USB ports.
Now, Apple lists the i9900 as being supported and shipping with drivers in Leopard, but could it be that only USB is available now? When I manually installed the drivers under Tiger, it set up a "network" in the printer utility called "Canon IJ Network". This is still showing up in Leopard, but there is no printer listed.
The printer is turned on, has paper loaded and all ink tanks are full. Permissions are freshly repaired and everything else appears to be in working order. No other programs have been installed since the Leopard upgrade. Any help would be appreciated!

I figured it out myself. To get it to work with Firewire, you need to go to Canon's website and download the latest drivers for Mac OS 10.4. They are older than the current ones in Leopard, but include the necessary Firewire drivers.
After they install, it will be available via Firewire! Hope this helps somebody else out.

Cracking and popping over FireWire

Audio or videos files played back with QuickTime over my FireWire connection are accompanied by quite a bit of cracking and popping. The crackling is not heard during quiet portions of the file. The format of the file doesn’t seem to matter (.mov, .wav, etc.). I can play back the same files over FireWire with other playback software, like VLC, and the problem disappears.
Interestingly, this problem with QT also disappears when listening with headphones plugged into the jack on my mac. In other words, the problem only occurs when I use QT and pipe the output through FireWire.
My FireWire goes into a mixer, an Onyx-1220i and from there gets piped into my studio speakers using the "Control Room Out" jacks.
Listen closely to the link for a sample recorded directly from my studio speakers using my iPhone: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15366433/Recording.m4a

IP over Firewire Clobbering

Hi, I'm using an iMac DV running 10.4.6. It has a fried Ethernet jack, so I used to use a PowerBook G3 and do IP over Firewire Internet sharing. This worked great until I purchased an external Iomega 250GB HDD drive, and started using that as my iMac's boot disk. Now when I try to do this, the iMac locks up when the laptop is connected via Firewire and won't stop until I've unplugged the laptop. How can I get this setup to work and/or what other solutions do I have?
Possibly Relevant Fact: Before I was using the external drive as a boot disk, when I would plug my iPod into my iMac (using Firewire) while I was using Firewire Internet sharing, it would appear on the laptop, not the iMac.
iMac DV Special Edition Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yes, I did this when I didn't have the external Firewire boot drive, and it worked correctly. My problem is that it freezes the iMac when I go to connect the two machines via a Firewire cord, regardless of whether Internet sharing is enabled. This is probably a more hardware/firmware-oriented problem, but I'm not really sure how to classify it.

IP over Firewire stopped working

with the 10.5.2 update IP over Firewire stopped working. I tried this with 3 machines on my G4 server (still running Tiger) and 2 different Firewire cables. target disk mode still works, so it can't be the cable. I'd appreciate any input & ideas.

I figured this out. Shut down for 20 minutes or so. Turned the Macbook on and firewire IP workd.

Ip over firewire

has anyone used ip over firewire? i'm thinking about getting a firewire hub because all my systems have firewire ports and i have some extra firewire cables laying around somewhere. i'd like to use it to speed up distcc. my systems use 10/100 cards right now. i'd still keep using the ethernet cards for most things and use the firewire connection just for distcc. or i could switch it around and use the firewire connection for everything and use the ethernet cards for just distcc, but i don't think that would really help since my systems don't actually run anything other than distcc and ssh right now.

I once tried it and it worked. What do you want to know about it?

IP over FireWire keeps going down

I use IP over FireWire with static IP addresses to sync two Macs every day. Every since upgrading to Leopard, that Mac that runs the sync keeps losing its IP over FireWire connection - it looks OK in the Network prefs pane, but won't mount the other machine's drive over AFP until I reboot.
Any idea what might be going on?

I use something completely different than 192.x.x.x. I use 10.10.0.x. I don't really see how this could have anything to do with anything if it works perfectly and then stops working. I could understand if it doesn't work at all, so maybe you can explain the logic behind this then I could configure things differently in an attempt to affect a fix.
As for the adapters (and drivers) in question, there are ~7 devices accessing the guest network. They are all using a variety of chipsets, 1 is ralink, 1 is broadcom, 1 is atheros, 1 is realtek, 1 is an iPad, whatever that uses and then there's a roku box and 1 android phone.
As I mentioned, they work perfectly when they work - when the guest network goes down nothing can connect to it so I don't think it can be the driver. If it were to be a driver issue then it wouldn't work properly from the getgo, or 1 or 2 devices with bad drivers would fault, but in this case it's all of them.
Oddly enough, my wireless stuff and lan is never affected. just the guest network but I have to reboot every time the issue crops up to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated as I'd really rather not have to go spend money on something else.
Is there anyone currently replying to this that uses their GN long term? If not could you please try? By long term I mean constantly use it and let me know if it goes down eventually. I'd really like to figure this out.

IP over Firewire AND Ethernet connected cluster?

Does anyone have any experience with IP over Firewire and Qmaster? What I'm trying to do (for now) is to have a file server connected to a bunch of Firewire HD's, then that connected to two other macs via IP over Firewire, and all that be a cluster.
The file server is the controller. Or I want it to be at least. Connected to this cluster are two workstations, connected to the file server via Ethernet.
So it's File Server with several external Firewire HD's connected to it with the video data. Connected to this file server are two macs via IP over Firewire which will be services only nodes. Connected to ALL of this over ethernet are two editing workstations. Qadmin can't seem to see the two mac nodes connected via IP over Firewire.
The problem is that Qadminstrator can't see the two macs connected to the file server via IP over Firewire. I'm wondering if for some reason data can't go from Ethernet to IP over Firewire and back again.
Any tips or suggestions? I'm just about out of ideas for now.

I was also NOT ABLE to use both nodes connected in a MIX of ETHERNET and FIREWIREover IP.
I WAS able to get a 4 x NODE cluster working using SHAKE & COMPRESSOR/QMASTER using all GbE EThernet - I went out and bought a cheap 8 x PORT ethernet GbE hub and all my problems went away.
HEre's what I had initially and what I did and it DIDN'T work consistently..:
Hardware Initially:
• g5 QUAD and 2 x MBP Dual Core 15's + 1 x MBPDC 17inch.
• G5 QUAD GBE1 connected to #1 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable
• G5 QUAD GBE2 connected to #2 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable
• G5 QUAD FW0 connected to 1 x MBPDC 17 on its FW1 with 6 pin FW cable
• G5 QUAD is set as CONTROLLER+SERVICES
• MBPDC's are all SERVICES ONLY.
• thus 3 x SUBNETS
SETUP#1- problem symptoms
• via QMASTERADMIN - G5 CONTROLLER could see MBPDC 17 and ONE of the MBP15;s but not all of them.
•tries various configs on each FW and EN0 for boths FW and EN paths.. never consistent view..
• removed some FW disks from FW400 path that were attached to CONTROLLER G5 host ... could then see ALL as a MIX of THERNET and FW. (Same happens using FW800 - although avoided this because of sperious DISK issues wth external FW800 disks on G5 QUAD).
• created cluster (not a quick cluster)- sent simple long I-FRAME based DV-PAL to smaller DVPAL) codec test to compressor and set the CLUSTER to the QMASTER on I defined.
• set QMASTER controller sys pref to use ALL NETWORK PATHS and disbaled the AIRPORT subnets on each MACHINE)
• PROBLEM was only G5(controller+services) and TWO of the services nodes (MBPDC's) were processing - NEVER all three! It didn't seem to matter what IP path was onnected (EN or FW).
• - all the above was a NO go waster of time. (aggh)
so..
HARDWARE SET UP #2 and what worked first time!
• purchased 1 x GBE Ethernet hub (8xport) w/P/supply and four 1m ethernet cables
• g5 QUAD and 2 x MBP Dual Core 15's + 1 x MBPDC 17inch.
• G5 QUAD GBE1 connected to GBE HUB
• #1 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
• #2 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
• #1 x MBPDC 17 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
• G5 QUAD is set as CONTROLLER+SERVICES
• MBPDC's are all SERVICES ONLY.
• thus 1 x SUBNET....!
WORKS EVERY TIME First time
• all machines work to render or transcode.
• for SHAKE RENDERING, each CPU has a process.. so there seems to be as many as (4 x 1)+2 + 2 + 2 rendering processes at any one time.
• less for COMPRESSOR as one per HOST (4 in my case)
Also.. in QMASTERADMIN - always:
• have the SOURCE and TAGET disk volumes|directories ou need MOUNTED (NFS works for me) and
• set to NEVER COPY.
• set QMASTER sys prefs/Advanced/"USe NEtwork Interface = EN0 (or whatever one you want to use. 'd imagine that a FW hub would also do the job (IPoFW).... but for me I had all free ETHERNETs NICS so I used them.
• oh .. enable all your airports NICS.. .. in the above QMASTER wont use this subnet.
This speeds the WORKFLOW up enormously because the source material does not have to be COPIED to each host (well I think that what it means).
So the solution in my case was to have ALL the HOSTS on a SINGLE subnet..
works for me.
hope that helps
