tvtime and audio
Background:
OS is Fedora Core 1 Hardware is ATI TV Wonder VE Software is tvtime 0.9.12 The Goal: To allow all the users of the machine (myself and two other members of the household) to watch tv without having to a) be root, or b) execute a separate command after tvtime exits to kill the audio. (Snipped) Contents of /etc/modules.conf: options bttv card=64 options tuner type=2 post-install bttv insmod tuner post-remove bttv /sbin/rmmod -r bttv I have the same issue as this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/psyche-l.../msg18925.html And have implemented a similar fix. This is the contents of the /usr/bin/run-tvtime file: #!/bin/sh tvtime /sbin/modprobe -r bttv The problem is that I dont want to run the tvtime app as root, and when I run it as a regular user, I get issues with modprobe. The run-tvtime script outputs on exit: Thank you for using tvtime. bttv: Operation not permitted bttv: Device or resource busy So the question is: how do I kill the audio as a non-root user? Thanks. |
Have you tried xawtv? I've never seen it exibit this sort of problem, unless I kill X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace..

I tried xawtv initially, and like the link I posted, it had the same problem.
