The Card type I'm working with is MPEG-2 encoder card (PVR-x50, PVR-500) for both. Once that card type is selected I can select /dev/video0 or /dev/video1 for the video device, but I expected /dev/pvr_500_1 and /dev/pvr_500_2. Am I crazy to expect those symlink names to be available? What am I missing?
<br><br>Thanks for the advice<br>
