[linux-dvb] Multi Frontend Drivers for HVR4000 (And others)

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4174 bytes --]

I've been playing with the latest http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/ drivers (Multi frontend Support) for the HVR4000 (http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/v4l-dvb-hg-mfe-latest.diff) and they seem to work well.  I can use either DVB-S or DVB-T (via mythtv and swap easily between them) (butt not use them at the same time which is just a limitation of the device)

But a couple of problems.
Not many programs support the multifrontend as of yet. Like the biggest one Mythtv :-)
You have to do the below so it sees two cards

mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter1
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter1/net1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/net0
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter1/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0

Analog TV Tuning Stops working after you 1st use the DVB-T or DVB-S device

a few i2c errors when it first boots up.

tda9887 2-0043: i2c i/o error: rc == -121 (should be 4)
DVB: registering new adapter (cx88[0])
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Conexant CX24116/CX24118)...
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Conexant CX22702 DVB-T)...

it says registering frontend 0 both times, but thats just cosmetic and should easily be fixed

I guess you mean

mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter1
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/net1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/net0
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0

where adapter0 is your real card and adapter1 is one higher than your
existing adapter number (e.g 0 in this case)

Vdr don’t allocate a device if its device is locked or busy

 

Try my patch for hvr3000/flydvb trio

http://tux.dpeddi.com/lr319sta/

http://tux.dpeddi.com/lr319sta/downloads/vdr_1.4.5_eddi-multiple-frontend_v5
.patch

 

it isn’t perfect but should overcome this problem.
