Galicaster is dependant on the hardware installed on the units so we provide some guides to install and configure of the most commom cards used along this software. We also include some instructions to help you fix the access to those cards and the application on the operative system.

Drivers installation and configuration:

Rules to access the cards - UDEV rules

Create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/galicaster.rules, which will contain the udev rules that will be applied to the devices.

Use the following command to find out the value of ATTR{name} for a specific device:

 
   $ udevadm info --attribute-walk --name=${device}

substituting "${device}" for the device's mount point, for example:

 
   $ udevadm info --attribute-walk --name=/dev/video0
   $ udevadm info --attribute-walk --name=/dev/video1 | grep name

(e.g. /dev/video0)

These are some configuration examples:

 
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", ATTR{name}=="Epiphan VGA2USB #V2U19350", GROUP="video", SYMLINK+="screen"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", ATTR{name}=="ivtv0 encoder MPG", GROUP="video", SYMLINK+="camera"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", ATTR{name}=="UVC Camera (046d:0821)", GROUP="video", SYMLINK+="webcam"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", ATTR{name}=="ivtv0 encoder MPG", GROUP="video", SYMLINK+="haucamera"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", ATTR{name}=="ivtv0 encoder YUV", GROUP="video", SYMLINK+="hauprevideo"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", ATTR{name}=="ivtv0 encoder PCM", GROUP="audio", SYMLINK+="haupreaudio"

For newer Epiphan drivers:

 
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", ATTR{name}=="vga2usb", SYMLINK+="screen"
