Using Plextor ConvertX capture devices with Jivo:

The nice plextor convertx series of video capture devices can be used 
with jivo.  The default gorecord application (as packaged in 
wis-go7007-linux-0.9.8) is insufficient as it looses a/v sync quickly
and only records small files.  I've put together a patch which adds a/v sync
and changes max file size.  The steps for compilation, patch application and
installation are as follows:


	# mkdir /usr/src/wis
	# cd /usr/src/wis
	# wget http://oss.wischip.com/wis-go7007-linux-0.9.8.tar.bz2
	# tar xvfj wis-go7007-linux-0.9.8.tar.bz2
	# patch -p0 < /opt/jivo/src/wis/avsync-naming-patch-0.1.0-wis-go7007-linux-0.9.8
	# cd wis-go7007-linux-0.9.8
	# make
	# cp apps/gorecord /usr/bin
	
Ensure the modules are loaded for plextor device and it is being found, as
described in the wis-go7007 documentation and online (at 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_go7007 and elsewhere).

Be sure to validate gorecord and plextor setup before configuring Jivo.  Hook
the gorecord up and 
	# gorecord -duration 10 -input 1 -mode ntsc test.avi
	# mplayer test.avi
Gorecord should record 10s of video.  If it doesn't, check the input 
(1=svhs,0=composite) and otherwise debug until it is recording video.

Recording with the patched Gorecord is the default with Jivo, so if you 
haven't configured it otherwise, leave it alone.  Reconfiguring to record 
with gorecord requires specifying the gorecord recording plugin be loaded.
Edit the Jivo config as follows:

	- edit etc/config/ca.reachable.tv.recorder
	- find the 
		ca.reachable.tv.recorder.RecordServerImpl.recorderPlugins
	  entry
	- remove any recorder plugins (text or value elements)
	- add value to entry
		<value>ca.reachable.tv.recorder.plugin.GorecordPlugin</value>
	- restart jivo
