[linux-dvb] libdvbapi multiproto patch ?

[linux-dvb] libdvbapi multiproto patch ?

[ChaosMedia > WebDev]

Hi,

i'm going to try to bring multiproto support to kaffeine for i'd really 
like to use my technotrend s2-3200 (dvb-s2) with it.

As far as i can tell kaffeine uses libdvbapi which is part of linuxtv 
dvb-apps repo.

So i'd like to know if there's already been any patch made to bring 
multiproto to libdvbapi ?

I don't know much about multiproto or v4l-dvb api, or dvb rfc, but i'll 
probably focus on both the wiki info  
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Multiproto and a good app example 
using macros referenced also in the wiki which is getstream 
http://silicon-verl.de/home/flo/projects/streaming/

any comments, further docs, references or examples, are welcome.

thx

Marc

No. Only libdvben50221 + the ca part of libdvbapi are used.

humm yeah but it seems that multiproto frontend.h just takes the whole 
regular frontend, for backward compatibility i guess, and puts its own 
declarations for the same values and its new ones at the bottom.

Not sure i need to go over it though if i can hide function calls from 
the libdvbapi using macros as it was done in other examples.

i'll probably need to update the api with missing dvb-s2 declarations, 
as the api's supposed to act as a layer between the driver and the 
application, and then update the api to access them or do it in the 
application, i don't really know..

okay thx, what's libdvben50221 compared to libdvbapi ? Are those two 
libs only used for CAM purposes ?

Anyways, i've checked DvbStream::tuneDvb and seen it uses the frontend 
declarations directly.
Good thing if i don't have to mess with a lib in the middle..

I'll see if i can manage to use some fancy macros and keep ifdef out of 
the main code.

thx
Marc

Yes, those are for cam stuff.
