Create a udev rule to fire up mythtv. Simple. Just grab the sysfs id and then create a rule to detect the device and trigger the application after a 2-5 second delay (so it's not started prior to creation of /dev/v4l/video0 or /dev/v4l/radio0). But I think most would just disable such a rule as the pvrusb2 is really meant for Mythtv, as a pvr device instead of a live tv device. There's an article about "Automatically backing up a USB pen device" (ie. detect via udev/sysfs device pluged in, wait 5 sec, run dd=/dev/sda1 of=/backup/image.) running around on either the internet or Linux Journal... think the later. I think the most desired feature for auto-detect with this device is, "detect pvrusb2" && "start mythbackend" && "put some eye-candy in the GUI tray stating your pvrusb2 is plugged in & mythbackend is started with a clickable interface to start "live tv" or "play recorded programs"." Just some random thoughts. -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html Key fingerprint = 8977 A252 2623 F567 70CD 1261 640F C963 1005 1D61 Thu May 3 00:41:23 PDT 2007 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
