OK.  Is that simply based on:

  <Highest DVB card number> + 1

?

OK - the wrapping must be my mail client.

I've attached a better log.  I've included *all* the VDR output - it's 
not edited.

I decided to try with just a single Nova-t card (a setup I've had 
working before), but
it's just the same.  :(

I've just downloaded 1.1.31 and applied the ringbuffer patch, but I 
can't get it to start.
See my log.


Thankyou,
Richard.


Single Nova-T card (and Dxr3).

VDR 1.1.30
----------

At the console:
  (PrimaryDVB=2 or 0)

richard@vdr:~$ vdr -l3 -L/usr/local/lib/vdr -Pdxr3
vdr: no primary device found - using first device!

If I change PrimaryDVB to be 1, and everything else is the same, I get this as VDR's log:

May 13 22:36:33 vdr vdr[386]: VDR version 1.1.30 started

which results in VDR running, but no Dxr3 output, so I just press CTRL-C to kill VDR.
