I tried the script mentioned in this thread (<a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=753434" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=753434</a>) and I do get a symlink, but I do not see the new static device node as an option in myth backend setup.<br>

</div></div>The hard way: write udev rules<br>
This has always troubled me<br>
<br>
Easy way (for me): Add an option line to your ivtv module in modprobe.conf<br>
options ivtv ivtv_first_minor=1<br>
<br>
This will cause ivtv to always take /dev/video1 (double check with a<br>
google search to see if ivtv_first_minor is 0 based) and should leave<br>
/dev/video0 for your other card<br>
<br>
Kevin<br><br></blockquote><div>Thanks for your reply.<br><br>I did already make a udev rule (using the python script at the <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=753434">link</a> I provided).<br><br>Here's my rule:<br>
KERNEL=="video*", ATTR{name}=="ivtv0 encoder MPG", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x4444", KERNELS=="0000:01:04.*", SYMLINK+="video_PVR150"<br><br>I added this rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/60-symlinks.rules<br>
<br>I expected to see /dev/video_PVR150 as a choice in myth backend setup. However, it is not there, even after a reboot.<br><br>Can anyone say whether this is a MythTV .22 issue or a mistake in my rule or something else? Thanks.<br>
<br>P.S. Based on <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1132709&page=2">this thread</a>, I think I'll keep struggling with udev rules rather than trying the modprobe.conf route just yet.<br></div></div>
