does tvheadend depends on udev?

Added by Dagg Stompler almost 7 years ago

Greetings,

I've built a small linux image with buildroot to serve as a dtv server.
I have a usb adapter, the image was based on mdev.
when I booted the board, entered tvheadend via the webgui and went to define the networks, I didn't saw anything under the adapters tab.
I've verified that the modules are up and fw is loaded.
in fact, w_Scan worked without any problem, still after service reboot tvheadend didn't listed the device.
why is that? does tvheadend depends on udev?

Thanks.

If w_scan can see your tuners so can tvheadend, make sure you're starting tvh with a user that's in the video group and set the -g option to video.

sorry for the late replay, buildroot creates user tvheadend and group tvheadend, adds the user to the group and passes it to the -g param.
can that be the issue? if so, why when I enable udev, it works?

Do you see the devices in /dev/dvb?

yes, if there were not there, w_scan could have not work

In which case I think it requires udev, not sure what for though.

looks like it doesn't need udev, I've talked to someone who uses tvheadend without the need for udev.
I'm trying to understand why.
