Finally had the appetite to look into this issue.
Still not working :( my investigations so far:
Folder permissions:
By default
/dev/dvb is root root
/dev/dvb/adapter0 is root root
/dev/dvb/apater0/demux0 is root video
/dev/dvb/apater0/dvr0 is root video
/dev/dvb/apater0/frontend0 is root video
/dev/dvb/apater0/net0 is root video
I created a udev rule in 41-mythtv-permissions.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", GROUP="mythtv"
I then ran:
sudo udevadm test /sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0/
I could see the group being set in the test results, and then being set back in
a subsequent rule (rule 50)
So I renamed the rule to 51-mythtv-permissions.rules
I ran the test again, this time my group was set last, yay :)
Rebooted the box, the permissions now are:
/dev/dvb is root root
/dev/dvb/adapter0 is root root
/dev/dvb/apater0/demux0 is root mythtv
/dev/dvb/apater0/dvr0 is root mythtv
/dev/dvb/apater0/frontend0 is root mythtv
/dev/dvb/apater0/net0 is root mythtv
So I feel upbeat and try Mythfrontend and I get the dreaded "all tuners busy"
:(
Now I'm just confused! Maybe the video group was just fine all along?? Maybe
the issue is a mythtv configuration issue? is it trying to access
/dev/dvb/adapter0 but it should be trying to access /dev/dvb/adapater0/dvr0 ??
Yours,
Perplexed!!
