[mythtv-users] Hauppauge HD-PVR /dev/video device missing

[Justin Dunn]

Hi,
I checked those things and you are correct as it's missing 4982.
I just modified the source code of the driver to include that number and I
now have a /dev/video0 device.
Thank you very much for your help.
Justin

check lsusb and see if you come up with one of the following:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2040:4900 Hauppauge
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2040:4901 Hauppauge
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2040:4902 Hauppauge

Then do
modinfo hdpvr
and check the aliases to see if your device type is in that list. For 
example my driver has:
alias:          usb:v2040p4982d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
alias:          usb:v2040p4902d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
alias:          usb:v2040p4901d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
alias:          usb:v2040p4900d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*

Note that the stock hdpvr driver may be missing 4982 (mine is modified 
and available on LinHES) and recent hd-pvr's have this new device id.
