pure:dyne never has worked with firewire for me, but i have used dyne:bolic with firewire with great results, but i have tested only audio, dyne:bolic has GEM and i have used flawessly but not tried capturing video by firewire yet.
Maybe you can try using dyne:bolic and using the "modules" of pure:dyne for puredata and GEM so you can get a newer version than dyne:bolic has inside, that's the way i have used pd+gem in dybe:bolic with no problems so far

Hello to all.

I'm having problems trying to connect a unibrain's fire-i firewire board camera in GEM. When I send a   [driver 1(    message and then   [device /dev/video1394/0(   to pix_video i get :

initializing: Inappropriate ioctl for device

If I send [driver 0(   message I get

get capabilities: Inappropriate ioctl for device

The camera works under coriander no problem. I use it with openFrameworks also. It doesn't work with dvgrab.  http://www.unibrain.com/Products/Vision … e_i_BC.htm

A sony minidv firewire camera does work with pix_video however.

Since my Debian system is a mess I downloaded pure:dyne's leek and potato to test the camera and had the same results. The miso version gave the same results.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've searched the mail archives and every resource I could think of. I'm new to linux so maybe I'm missing some basic stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Debian lenny/sid. Kernel 2.6.24

thankyou.
