Hi Folks, I was tooling around with sysfsutils and noticed that it's possible to change the ownership of entries in the /sys subdirectory. By adding the following sample entries into /etc/sysfs.conf:
owner class/pvrusb2/sn-8206665/ctl_freq_table_channel/cur_val=user:user owner class/pvrusb2/sn-8206665/ctl_freq_table_value/cur_val=user:user owner class/pvrusb2/sn-8206665/ctl_channel/cur_val=user:user owner class/pvrusb2/sn-8206665/ctl_frequency/cur_val=user:user owner class/pvrusb2/sn-8206665/ctl_input/cur_val=user:user owner class/pvrusb2/sn-8206665/ctl_mute/cur_val=user:user owner class/pvrusb2/sn-8206665/ctl_volume/cur_val=user:user * Note: Change user:user to your user name It's possible control the volume, channel and input controls without having to switch to root. So, as a non-root user, it's possible to: echo false > /sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-8206665/ctl_mute/cur_val echo 58980 > /sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-8206665/ctl_volume/cur_val echo composite > /sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-8206665/ctl_input/cur_val I realize most people are using MythTV to interact with their devices, but I thought this information might be useful to those of us who have hacked together our own little scripts to watch/record TV shows. For a complete list of these controls, use the following command: find /sys/class/pvrusb2/*/* | grep cur_val Regards, Gord _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
