[mythtv-users] Example IVTV Udev rules

[Derek Meek]

I finally took the time to sit down and figure out udev rule writing and
I figured I'd share the results with you.

DRIVER=="ivtv", ID=="0000:02:08.0", SYMLINK+="pvr_500_1"
DRIVER=="ivtv", ID=="0000:02:09.0", SYMLINK+="pvr_500_2"

ID is the PCI bus ID from the device
IE
02:08.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
02:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)

matches the above devices

this will create the symlinks /dev/pvr_500_1 and /dev/pvr_500_2 corresponding to each head of the PVR-500 so i don't have to worry about /dev/videoN jumping around (which has been a problem in the past)

when my 150 arrives it'll be

DRIVER=="ivtv", ID="0000:whatever", SMYLINK+="pvr_150"

I hope this is helpful 

PS a udev rule for my bttv card would be
DRIVER="bttv", ID="0000:00:08.0", SYMLINK+="shitty_cable_box_slaver"
