Description Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2010-07-17 11:48:16 UTC
When starting the vdr I get the following messages:

 * Preparing start of vdr:
 *   Waiting for DVB devices ... [ ok ]
 *   Checking config files ... [ ok ]
 * Starting vdr-1.6.0-2 ... [ ok ]
 *   Waiting for working vdr ... [ ok ]
 * VDR errors from /var/log/messages:
 *   ERROR: /proc/av7110_ir: Permission denied
 * Starting vdr watchdog ... [ ok ]

Permissions of the proc file are as follows:
ls -al /proc/av7110_ir
--w------- 1 vdr vdr 516 17. Jul 13:17 /proc/av7110_ir

The kernel commit [1] which caused this. It looks like the proc does need read access, as one must be able to read the ir-signals.

A temporary fix is to add "chmod u+r /proc/av7110_ir" to the plugin start script [2].
