dvrescue only able to see one DV device - Ubuntu #935

Open archisysio opened 3 months ago

archisysio commented 3 months ago

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and would like to use vrecord to capture from multiple DV decks at the same time. However, the application only sees one DV device when I have multiple devices connected to the system.

I've tried different combinations of devices without any luck: HVR-1500As, DSR-1500As, and DSR-40s.

I currently have two HVR-1500As connected:

vrecord01@vrecord01:~$ grep . /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw*/*_name /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw0.0/model_name:DV-VCR /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw0/model_name:HVR-1500
/sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw0/vendor_name:Sony /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw1/model_name:Juju /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw1/vendor_name:Linux Firewire /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw2/model_name:Juju /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw2/vendor_name:Linux Firewire /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw3.0/model_name:DV-VCR /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw3/model_name:HVR-1500 /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw3/vendor_name:Sony

But dvrescue only sees one:

vrecord01@vrecord01:~$ dvrescue -list_devices 0x8004602012c0faf: Sony HVR-1500 [DV]

Version info: vrecord01@vrecord01:~$ dvrescue --version DVRescue v.24.07 (MediaInfoLib v.24.06) by MIPoPS.

Please let me know if you need any additional info.

@archisysio thank you for reporting this. Would you mind installing the latest daily build of the DVRescue GUI and see if it detects the other devices or if you are getting the same result?

archisysio commented 1 month ago

@libbyhopfauf You're welcome. Thanks for looking into it.

I'm getting the same result:

$ /usr/bin/dvrescue --version DVRescue v.24.07.20241008 (MediaInfoLib v.24.06) by MIPoPS.

$ /usr/bin/dvrescue --list_devices 0x8004602012c0fa5: Sony HVR-1500 [DV]

Please let me know if you'd like any additional info.

Please let me know if you'd like any additional info.

Just to clarify, for these results you had additional decks connected and these were detected by the computer? If so, is there a particular port that DVRescue seems to be recognizing? For the other decks are any adapters being used to connect them to the computer?

@archisysio Could you also check your Ubuntu permissions? See instructions here.
