Hello Mike,

 

Thanks for the firmware for the HVR-1950 device. I'm a newbie into linux
systems and specially ubuntu / MythTV. My boss bought some HVR1950 to setup
a mythtv server with 3 frontend. This is what happened.

 

 

Backend

1.       I installed ubuntu 9.10 (32bits)

2.       Installed mysql

3.       Installed mythtv

4.       Download your firmware

5.       In the general setup of the backend

a.       Capture card type IVTV 

                                                               i.      I had
to write the devices /dev/video0 (to 2)

6.       Did all the scan and everything

7.       Fill the database

8.       Runs perfectly

9.       When I reboot the machine and try it again, is not working

 

I read some forums in the internet and found this:

 

1.       Sudo chmod 0777 /dev/video0

2.       Sudo chmod 0777 /dev/video1

3.       Sudo chmod 0777 /dev/video2

4.       Sudo killall mythbackend

5.       Mythbackend

 

Works, not sure if it's the best way but it worked. Then I tried to create a
script that ran at the boot of the computer so I don't have to write this
commands every time that the server restarts. 

 

I know you are an expert and probably don't have the time to explain about
it. But:

 

1.       How can I make the server works without this steps above?

a.       Create a script that runs when and where?

b.      Permits issue?

 

I've being reading a lot about this in the past few weeks and I am about to
run crazy!!

 

Please need your help and I apologize for my bad English but I am from
Honduras!!

 

Edmundo.
