[Ardour-users] sync, video, MTC and control surfaces

Hello all.

I would like to know if there is a way to sync video
with ardour? For instance gxine or mplayer.
Better yet, in an Ideal world, I could forward,
reverse 
stop and play ardour and a video player with my Tascam
DM-24.
I only succeded in getting the faders and mute to work
with my board via MMC. 

Could somebody perhaps tell me if
As of now, I should be able to control ardour
transport with the stop record and play buttons on my
board? 

Is this done via MMC or MTC?
I realize from reading various groups that timing is
an issue that is being dealt with now, but I would
like to simply know if I am to impatient or just don't
know how to do it. 

I tried Options->sync->send MTC
Positional sync is set to internal.
Should my board be sending MTC?
Then, I get this error which is really confusing

[ERROR]Session:cannot send quarter frame MTC message
(Success)

Since when is an error a success??
(I feel really weird when I see that.
In my life I try not to make any errors in the hope of
acheiving success, anyway...)

There is a MTC port field in the midi options Tab.
It is set to sequencer.
Should I be putting something else in ardour.rc?

I do get sysex messages that show up in the console
when I hit stop play or record on my board.

If MTC is ready, to be directed to a thread that shows
how to do it would be heavenly.


Thanks for any response but also  
Thanks to the developers.

Sylvain
