Re: [vdr] USB IR Receiver not loaded when vdr starts on boot
The problem remains. In 9 times out of 10 vdr will fail to start due to USB IR not being loaded by the time the script runvdr chmods the permissions on input devices. /dev/input/event[1-4] are being loaded in time, but as I wrote, /dev/input/event5 (my USB IR) fails to load in time for chmod to be set correctly. How do I 1) postpone the execution of the runvdr script, set appropriate permissions in some other way, or otherwise make the problem disappear? Any suggestion is welcome My family loves the VDR-TV but they really hate the forced open console to manually start xine, only to realize that VDR did not start correctly, followed by closing xine window, start vdr manually, filling in sudo password, and finally start xine manually again.

Re: [vdr] USB IR Receiver not loaded when vdr starts on boot
Why don't you move it later in your boot sequence or simply add a wait-til-the-IR-is-ready to your tv script? I don't use runvdr but It should be very simple to do. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Any suggestion is welcome Or how about that proxy plugin? It will continue to load vdr, and the proxy plugin will take care of the failures.
