Hi Andy,

I was hoping you might be able to help me out.  I went and did a major package update a couple of days ago (not a version upgrade though) and now there are a couple of problems that are causing me big problems.  Initially I could get one of the PVR 500's to work so then I re-installed the v4l2 driver (used git to re-download and build it) and that is what got me to this state.

The first is that what I use v4l2-ctl to "--set-input" and "--set-standard" (I then check and video works) Myth can't access the tuners anymore as they are reporting as busy (myth gives the error that all tuners are busy).  The bigger problem is that when I reboot I need to re-run these commands because they get lost (on a cat check to a file the video is missing again).

It also appears that on reboots the dev/video#'s are changing for the different cards.  I think this is something that I need to fix with udev based on some of the readings that I have done in the past.  Unfortunately I can't say that any of the discussions on udev made a lot of sense to me.  

What I want to ask you is if this is something that you have seen before and if so what was the cure that you found?

Here is what the last boot did (actually it has stayed at this organization for three boots now so maybe the driver install caused the re-order).  Prior to this one the HVR-1600 had video1 with the PVR 500 split on video0 and video2.

v4l2-ctl --list-devices
Hauppauge HVR-1600 (PCI:0000:01:06.0):
/dev/video0
/dev/video24
/dev/video32
/dev/vbi0

WinTV PVR 500 (unit #1) (PCI:0000:02:08.0):
/dev/video1
/dev/video25
/dev/video33
/dev/radio1
/dev/vbi1

WinTV PVR 500 (unit #2) (PCI:0000:02:09.0):
/dev/video2
/dev/video26
/dev/video34
/dev/vbi2


Thanks,
Peter
