Udev webcam rule read, but not respected?
- by user89305
I have two usb-webcams on them machine, but at bot they some switch /dev/video number.
The solution to this problem seems to be new udev rule. I have added this rule in/etc/udev/rules.d/jj-video.rules:
Fix webcam 1
KERNEL=="video1", SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1d6b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", SYMLINK+="webcam1"
Fix webcam 2
KERNEL=="video2", SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", ATTR{name}=="Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000", KERNELS=="0000:00:1d.0", SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", DRIVERS=="uhci_hcd", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x8086", ATTRS##{device}=="0x2658", SYMLINK+="webcam2"
but the symlinks are not created. I have tried many different combinations in this file. The present ones are just my lates attempts.
I found the parameters in:
jjk@eee-old:~$ udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -p /class/video4linux/video1)
Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format. A rule to
match, can be composed by the attributes of the device and the
attributes from one single parent device.

(and correspondingly for video2)
It looks to me like my rules are read, but not respected.
What am I doing wrong?
