There is none yet of course, but once the new API is ready, it might be =

less difficult to get VDR 1.7.0 running on the new API than it looks.

One could start with my dvb-api-wrapper patch for VDR 1.7.0. (Basically =

an userspace wrapper that translates multiproto calls into old API =

calls.) To get VDR running on the new API, only three multiproto API =

calls must be translated to the new API, and these are already isolated =

in separate functions ioctl_DVBFE_SET_DELSYS(), ioctl_DVBFE_SET_PARAMS() =

and ioctl_DVBFE_GET_DELSYS(). Without taking a too deep look into the =

new API, I think this should be possible without too much trouble.

This is of course a temporary solution, nothing final. Maybe, until =

things settle, its even a good idea to get VDR working on all three =

APIs, so people can use whatever works best for them.


Cheers,

Udo
