[mythtv-users] question on tuner activation

[Ian Forde]

If a slave backend server starts up, but can't use its tuner, why is it
still counted as a "working" tuner?  As an example, I've been having
problems with ivtv on a box - it seems that between udev and kernel
errors, this box won't get a working recording backend running on it
when it boots up.  Some manual intervention on my end is needed.  So
knowing that I have to *fix* the problem at that point is my burden to
bear, granted.

The question is whether this log snippet:

2005-07-31 22:17:03.787 Channel(/dev/video0)::Open(): Can't open video
device, error "Permission denied"
2005-07-31 22:17:03.874 Channel(/dev/video0)::Open(): Can't open video
device, error "Permission denied"
2005-07-31 22:17:03.882 ChannelBase: Could not find input: Tuner 0 on
card when setting channel 3

and this log snippet:

really make sense... since the backend knows it can't use the tuner, it
shouldn't allow it to be used for recording...

Just an observation...
