xine works only with dvb as root.


Hey everyone. I have been having a great time trying to get my skystar2 card going! Anyway I have drivers installed I made a channels list using scan. I then installed the lastest xine (rc5??) I just did ./configure make and make install, then I did the same with the standard gui.

I load xine and push the dvb button as root and it loads a channel and I have sound and picture etc. If I load it as a normal user and push the button it doesnīt work and suggests maby the device doesnīt exist.

I tried chgrp users on all the devices for my dvb card... but it still doesnīt work as user.

Any ideas??

Maybe you did set the groups right to your users, but not the right permissions. Remember that files have three kind of permissions, owner, group and others.

Hi!
This is how they start out everytime I reboot (or reload the drivers) is there some way of making it load the drivers with users access?? I remember seeing a config file somewhere but I canīt remember where it was!!
