Hi all,

This may be slightly OT as it is not directly a Freevo problem.  Hoping  
some experience on the list will provide the answer.

I have setup many systems with the DVICO dual head DVB-T card, and they  
'just worked'.  The most recent one though, is behaving strangely.  I  
suspect there is a permissions or a udev problem behind it, but cannot be  
sure.  DMESG shows both heads as loading up nicely, and /dev/dvb is  
populated with both adapters.  However, to illustrate the problem with  
tzap;

scan -a /dev/dvb/adapter0 config  --- works for the first head (PCI)
scan -a 0 config   --- also works for the first head (PCI)

scan -a /dev/dvb/adapter1 config  --- works for the second head (USB)
scan -a 1 config   --- does not work for the second heah (USB) !!!

I suspect that whatever allows you to use the -a option with the device  
number rather than /dev/ location is what my problem is.  When involking  
the individual cards you would do it as such : mplayer  
dvb://[EMAIL PROTECTED] and clearly this will work for the first  
adapter, but not the second (dvb_streaming_read, attempt N. 6 failed with  
errno 0 when reading 2048 bytes ... etc).

If this rings a bell to anyone that can suggest how to fix it, I would  
most appreciative.  Otherwise Freevo 1.7.2 appears to be using the dual  
head setup very effectively without having to modify tvguide.py or  
recordserver.py as I have had to do in the past.


Many thanks,

Justin
