[linux-dvb] Re: /dev/dvb0.dvr0 instead of/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 ??

[<merge@paulpettigrew.com>]

Hi Tony,

Thanks very much for helping to sort this issue out. Below is what I have done 
in following your advice...

I am running the dvb-kernel/MAKEDEV-DVB.sh script at startup (in 
/etc/rc.d/rc.local). It is creating the structure for me, i.e:

[root@mythtv ~]# ls /dev/dvb/adapter0/
audio0  ca0  demux0  dvr0  frontend0  net0  osd0  video0

I then run dvb-kernel/build-2.6/insmod.sh load (I unload first, to make sure I 
am not mixing FC3 and CVS DVB modules) and then use the tzap utility. 
Unfortunately, it is not locking for me:

[root@mythtv szap]# ./tzap "7 Digital"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file '/root/.tzap/channels.conf'
tuning to 177500000 Hz
video pid 0x0201, audio pid 0x0202
status 00 | signal b1b1 | snr 0000 | ber 0001fffe | unc ffffffff |
status 00 | signal b1b1 | snr 0000 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 |
status 00 | signal b1b1 | snr 0000 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 |
status 00 | signal b1b1 | snr 0000 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 |
status 00 | signal b1b1 | snr 0000 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 |
status 00 | signal b1b1 | snr 0000 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 |
<snip - goes on forever without getting an FE_HAS_LOCK>

I note that after loading the modules with insmod.sh it is still creating the 
dvb.dvr0 structure, i.e:

[root@mythtv build-2.6]# ls /dev/d*
/dev/dnrtmsg  /dev/dvb0.demux0  /dev/dvb0.frontend0
/dev/dsp      /dev/dvb0.dvr0    /dev/dvb0.net0

/dev/dvb:
adapter0  adapter1  adapter2  adapter3

Do I need to disable udev to use your method Tony? (I have removed all udev 
configurations made in my initial post before applying your technique).

Many thanks for your advice :-)
