[mythtv-users] UDEV rules

[Hika van den Hoven]

Hoi Daryl,

Looking at your rules it will only allow for one simlink, so a second
will overwrite a previous one. Try changing to
SUBSYSTEM=="dvb",ATTRS{vendor}=="0x14f1",ATTRS{device}=="0x8852",SYMLINK+="dvb/dig1250-Index$attr{index}",GROUP="video"
SUBSYSTEM=="dvb",ATTRS{vendor}=="0x1131",ATTRS{device}=="0x7133",SYMLINK+="dvb/DigKW150-Index$attr{index}",GROUP="video"

Tot mails,
  Hika                            mailto:hikavdh at gmail.com

"Zonder hoop kun je niet leven
Zonder leven is er geen hoop
Het eeuwige dilemma
Zeker als je hoop moet vernietigen om te kunnen overleven!"
