Description Andy Burns 2006-03-26 19:25:09 EST

Description of problem:
after loading saa7134_dvb module udev creates 
/dev/dvb/adapter0/{demux0,dvr0,frontend0,net0}

some software e.g. xine from the repo-that-must-not-be-mentioned
seems to expect the device video0, if I create a softlink
ln -s vdr0 video0
the software is happy, alternatively I could configure xine to use the name
/dev/dvb/adapter0/vdr0

should the saa7134_dvb module or udev be providing a "full" set of device nodes
/dev/dvb/adapter0/{audio0,ca0,demux0,dvr0,frontend0,net0,osd0,video0}
which I have seen other users have created for their DVB devices?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 2.6.16-1.2069_FC5
udev 084-13

How reproducible:
100% - but requires relevant hardware

Steps to Reproduce:
1. modprobe saa7134_dvb
2.  ls /dev/dvb/adapter0
  
Actual results:
]# ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0
total 0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root video 212, 4 Mar 25 21:35 demux0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root video 212, 5 Mar 25 21:35 dvr0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root video 212, 3 Mar 25 21:35 frontend0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root video 212, 7 Mar 25 21:35 net0

n.b. permissions changed by hand

Expected results:
additional entries for audio0,video0,osd0,net0 ?

Comment 1 Andy Burns 2006-04-29 08:58:46 EDT

For the time being, I've resorted to creating a script to kick the detection of
the DVB device, create softlinks for the4 "missing" device nodes, and then set
(lazy/lax) file permissions

Let me know if I can supply any more info or test any tweaks ...

$cat /etc/sysconfig/modules/saa7134_dvb.modules

#!/bin/sh
modprobe saa7134_dvb >/dev/null 2>&1
for i in `ls -d /dev/dvb/adapter*` ; do
        cd /
	cd $i
        if [ ! -e video0 ] ; then
                ln -s dvr0 video0 ;
        fi
        chmod 777 *
done

Cleaning up my old bugs, this worked OK with FC6
