My setup is a single combined BE/FE with two HD PVRs. With the previous cable setup I used firewire to change channels and never had problems with the HD PVRs migrating around between /dev/video0 and /dev/video1. The DirecTV setup is that same except that I use the web service (directv_http.pl) to change channels. Now I have had problems with the HD PVRs switching places and this is not good.</div><div><br></div><div>I read the mythtv wiki page (<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Device_Filenames_and_udev">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Device_Filenames_and_udev</a>) and copied the HD PVR sample substituting the serial numbers in the sample for my serial numbers. My confusion comes from my assumption that I would point to the SYMLINK device vs /dev/video0/1. mythtv_setup doesn't like the SYMLINK (/dev/v4l/hdpvr1/2) but /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 work.</div><div><br></div><div>Would someone explain what I'm doing wrong and how should my setting look like.</div><div><br></div><div>copy of my rules.d file</div><div><br></div><div><div># /etc/udev/rules.d/10-hdpvr.rules</div><div>#HDPVR - hdpvr1</div><div>KERNEL=="video?",SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux",ATTRS{serial}=="00A29AC2",</div><div>SYMLINK+="v4l/hdpvr1"</div><div><br></div><div>#HDPVR - hdpvr2</div><div>KERNEL=="video?",SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux",ATTRS{serial}=="00A252CB",</div><div>SYMLINK+="v4l/hdpvr2"</div></div><div><br></div><div><div>straight from the wiki (mostly).</div></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance.</div><div><br></div><div>adios,</div><div>jt</div></body></html>
