What is hotplug? It seems to not matter. udev is the way to go now.
Of course, all the documents on the subject seem written for someone
You need the ROM image in your firmware directory
I have the firmware there. It is another issue. After a week of
trying some stuff out and a person or two sending some email I finally
came to the conclusion, for at least my system, udev is not working
properly or needs more time.
Things I tried.
- All the files in the right directories. There were three
directories and none of them worked properly "on boot up" I say on
boot up because of the bullet below.
- All are files and not links. This was a suggestion by someone.
Did not work.
- Put in the loading of udev/hotplug as 999 on startup. This did
no difference but was a suggestion on the web. I took out what I did.
- udev has a new hotplug utility (don't remember name but the old
on had hotplug in the name and the new one does not) to run at startup
instead of the old one. Did not make any difference.
- Restart the computer. Now this worked, well one time out of ten.
- Restart ivtv again after everything started up. This was
successful every time.
- Other little things that never worked.
What I finally have done is during the running of mythtv user in X11 I
look for the successful start up (because it actually works every once
in a blue moon on startup) and if it is there do nothing. If it is not
there then I restart ivtv and that always works.
Thanks for everyone that helped. Until I can get udev to work better
on my system I guess I do the restart of ivtv. At least the second
time it always loads the hardware.
As an aside, udev needs more documentation out there. I scoured the
web and found very little. I cannot wait until it works and has
documentation on its utilities and such.
