Hello,

 

I think this is a bug, so I already reported this to bugzilla, however maybe someone might help me with a quick fix or workaround. Please find below what I reported to bugzilla:

 

Hello,

 

I'm quite a heavy kino user (importing from camera, editing and exporting back to camera). I installed MDV 2005LE and started using kino. Importing and editing goes real good, however, exporting back to camera does not work at all. I have been trying to figure out why, but I'm not at all an expert in this kind of matters.

This is how far I got:

 

gscanbus gave me this result (but I don't have a clue how to interpret it):

I checked the kino preferences for the export device. According to what I found on the kino site, it is set correctly to /dev/ieee1394/dv/host0/PAL/out. However, this device does not seem to exist on my system. I tried to create it (as root) with mknod -m 666 /dev/dv1394 c 171 34 as indicated on http://www.linux1394.org/dv1394.php, but that did not seem to work. I did not get any error, but in /dev there is still no /ieee1394 subfolder, and kino still can't do the export.

 

Don't know what I can do to further investigate.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Ciao,

OK, I did some more googling and testing, and this is what I got:

mknod -m 666 /dev/dv1394 c 171 34 did not create /dev/ieee1394/dv/host0/PAL/out. Apparently http://www.linux1394.org/dv1394.php is outdated. I found out that currently that command creates /dev/dv1394 plain and simple. Setting that in the preferences of kino did the trick. :D :D :D

However after rebooting, /dev/dv1394 was gone again. :( So I added mknod -m 666 /dev/dv1394 c 171 34 to the /etc/rc.local script. Now upon boot the device /dev/dv1394 is created automatically.:)

 

Of course it would be better if MDL 2005 LE would do this without tinkering from the user required. So I hope they will fix this anyhow.

 

Oh, yeah, in MDL 10.0 I always needed to run kino as root, or it would not let me control the camera. That is fixed now. That is a good thing. I must say that I am quite satisfied of MDL 2005 LE. Except for this one bug no real annoying problems, and that while having installed immediately when the new version was available only to club members! :D :D

 

Good work done by all the hackers of MDL! :thanks::thanks::thanks:

 

Ciao,
