Help writing UDEV rules for FC6
 

Hi,

I'm having problems getting a UDEV rule to work under FC6. I have a PVR500 and have one of the two capture symlinks working, but not sure why the second isn't working correctly.. I'll include everything I've looked at to debug this.

First the udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
# Local Rules
DRIVER=="ivtv", SYSFS{name}=="ivtv? encoder MPEG", ID=="0000:06:08.0", SYMLINK+="pvr_500_1"
DRIVER=="ivtv", SYSFS{name}=="ivtv? encoder MPEG", ID=="0000:06:09.0", SYMLINK+="pvr_500_2"
DRIVER=="ivtv", SYSFS{name}=="ivtv? encoder PCM audio", ID=="0000:06:08.0", SYMLINK+="pvr_500_1_audio"
DRIVER=="ivtv", SYSFS{name}=="ivtv? encoder PCM audio", ID=="0000:06:09.0", SYMLINK+="pvr_500_2_audio"

output from ll /dev/pvr_500_*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Feb 22 20:11 /dev/pvr_500_1 -> video1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 22 20:11 /dev/pvr_500_1_audio -> video24

The only thing I've noticed that is strange is the no db file to read message.

Other than that I'm lost. Any help is greatly appriciated

Still have no idea what I did wrong, however I did find more information:

I found the following command to get information about the ids while trying to figure out what is wrong. It still looks like what I have should work, but figured more information might help someone debug this.

I originally thought that this thread would be fedora specific.. I'm less inclined to believe that now. If it is not can someone move it to the proper forum?


udevinfo -a -p /class/video4linux/video0

Udevinfo starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.

Still finding things out slowly about udev. The only line that looks to be in error from above of the udevtest /class/video4linux/video2 is this:
udev_db_get_device: no db file to read /dev/.udev/db/class@video4linux@video2: No such file or directory

when I go there I get the following listing:

N:video0
S:video
M:81:0

The contents of class@video4linux@video1
N:video1
S:pvr_500_1
M:81:1

To me it looks like class@video4linux@video0 is the first capture card definition, and class@video4linux@video1 is the second, but when I use the id from lspci it links up the class@video4linux@video1 just fine, but thinks there should be a class@video4linux@video2 when there is no file like that created.

Not sure what it all means, but thought I would share in hopes someone could answer.

Thanks
