MythTV should use the static device names in /dev/v4l/by-path/* to stop video devices changing on boot

[Aaron Whitehouse]

/dev/video nodes change on start-up. This means that, with a normal mythbuntu install, my TV cards swap device nodes every second boot-up.

There is a script (and discussion) at:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7070445
that uses UDEV rules to create a symlink to the correct card each time.

According to Ubuntu Developer Kees:
"MythTV should be taught to use the static device names in /dev/v4l/by-path/* (which exist starting in Intrepid). That's how static naming is being solved."

These do indeed exist in /dev/v4l/by-path/*, but MythTV can't seem to use them.

I will attach the UDEV rule script to this bug as well, so that those without an ubuntuforums login can download it.

I have attached an updated script (with your real name) to the other bug. Thanks again for writing and releasing it!
