Hi everyone,

I've noticed a strange problem on my vdr setup. The SVDRP command GRAB doesn't work at normal boot. So i don't have preview with vdradmin or the live-plugin.

In fact, the problem come from the order of the dvb detection. I have a FF card 2.1 and a Budget nova-t. During the boot, the nova-t is detected first and then the FF card. I have already tried to change/invert the PCI cards, but the nova-t is still detected first. I don't know why.

So if I want to have preview with vdradmin or vdr-plugins-live, i must close VDR, unload the drivers (nova-t and nexus 2.1) and reload the FF card first then the nova-t and finally restart VDR.

So my question is: Is there a way to correct that and force the FF-card to be detected/loaded first at boot? I have tried udev rules to force dvb-ttpci to be adapter0 and nova-t adapter1, but it doesn't change anything. No preview with vdradmin

Actually VDR tries to determine the offset of the video devices in cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice(), but apparently there is no more /proc/video/dev :-(

See "// The offset of the /dev/video devices:" in dvbdevice.c. Maybe somebody knows how this can bee done with today's kernels...
