[mythtv-users] udev and DVB problems

[Gary Dawes]

This is the relevant line(s) from my /etc/udev/udev.rules file....


# video devices
KERNEL=="dvb*",                 PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb};
printf dvb/adapter%%i/%%s $${K%%%%.*} $${K#*.}", ACTION=="add", \
                                NAME="%c"
KERNEL=="card[0-9]*",           NAME="dri/%k"


try inserting this and seeing how you get on.
