I added VCR_CMD = /dev/video1 and only got errors. This is in fact where dmesg
show the HDPVR coming through, /dev/video0 is the built in webcam.I still
believe this problem is tied to the Freevo recordserver needing a channel conf.
in order to start. The channel conf is telling Freevo to record from a channel
that doesn't exist with this device. If I remove the channel conf or try to
trick it with a false entry, it simply won't start. So, I'm stuck with a Catch
22 situation. VCR_CMD doesn't seem to work as a workaround for this problem.
I've tried over a dozen different hacks to the local_conf.py and no luck so
far. If you can think of any other commands or a way to get Freevo to record
without a channel conf, I'd love to know.For now, I'll just stick with using
the cat /dev/video1>(filename) command to record. It's the only one that works
every time.
