Udev rules (again)

Hey,

Adding another camera to my backend has forced to use udev-rules to
force the camra's not to take the video-device my PVR normally uses.
I thought it would be as easy as just writing a rule for the cameras,
but it turns out I need to for my PVR as well.

For this I used the following in /etc/udev/rules./10-local.rules:

KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", DRIVERS=="ivtv",
ID=="0000:02:08.0" NAME="video0"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", DRIVERS=="ivtv",
ID=="0000:02:09.0" NAME="video1"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="08f0", NAME="video5"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="093a",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="2468", NAME="video6"

This seems to work as well as the videodevices get the right numbers,
the problem is however that recordings made are 'empty' ie just no image
and filesize > 0.

I got the feeling my rules are missing some parts causing them not to
work, but even with the several howto's I can't find it and examples
with a PVR and with NAME="video_n_" seem to benon-existent.

any pointers or examples appreciated,

Jos Hoekstra

This is the contect of my custom rules to allow me to fix the device
names of my PVR250 and a BT878 device (which I don't use in myth):

KERNEL=="video[0-9]", SYSFS{name}=="BT878*", SYMLINK+="BT878"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]", SYSFS{name}=="ivtv*", SYMLINK+="PVR250"

then in mythtv-setup I specify /dev/PVR250 in the devoce name instead of
/dev/video0

Regards,
Dave.

Here is what I have for my pvr500.

jmd0 ~ # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/60-ivtv.rules
#DRIVER=="ivtv",KERNELS=="0000:02:08.0", SYMLINK+="pvr_150"

ATTR{name}=="ivtv0 encoder MPG", SYMLINK+="pvr_150"
KERNEL=="video?",SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux",ATTR{name}=="ivtv0 encoder
MPG", SYMLINK+="v4l/video0"
KERNEL=="video?",SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux",ATTR{name}=="ivtv1 encoder
MPG", SYMLINK+="v4l/video1"
KERNEL=="video??",SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux",ATTR{name}=="ivtv0 encoder
PCM", SYMLINK+="v4l/video24"
KERNEL=="video??",SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux",ATTR{name}=="ivtv1 encoder
PCM", SYMLINK+="v4l/video25"
KERNEL=="video??",SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux",ATTR{name}=="ivtv0 encoder
YUV", SYMLINK+="v4l/video32"
KERNEL=="video??",SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux",ATTR{name}=="ivtv1 encoder
YUV", SYMLINK+="v4l/video33"

I also have a kworld115 in the master backend but I am only using the
dvb input of that so I do not care about the analog portion of that
card. /dev/video0 or /dev/video2 depending on if the ivtv card loaded
first. With the symlink the I just use /dev/v4l/video0 and
/dev/v4l/video1 for my 2 ivtv devices. I could have given them more
descriptive names but this worked so I stuck with it.

Just for the user wrestling with the same thing: this one works, just
start using it from the first line that starts with KERNEL==.

Thanks for the help!

You are correct. The other part was the original version that did not work...
