After screwing around with the vague and misleading, yet much linked "writing udev rules":<br><a href="http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html">http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html</a><br>I stumbled across this very helpful thread:
<br><a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/223841">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/223841</a><br>Scroll down to the last post. Note the bafflingly illogical and frustratingly redundant syntax for calling udevinfo.
<br><br>I built my rules and named my file just as the poster did, except I used SYSFS{vendor}== and SYSFS{device}== to uniquely identify my cards.<br>Then, in mythtv-setup->capture cards, I manually entered my /dev/<custom name> from the SYMLINKs into the fields. NOTE: I highly recommend doing a "delete all capture cards" first, then starting fresh...
<br><br>But, finally, no more random /dev/video# assignments!<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/10/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Nick Morrott</b> <<a href="mailto:knowledgejunkie@gmail.com">knowledgejunkie@gmail.com
