Enclosed are two patches. The clean patch is for a clean VDR 1.7.0 source tree patched with Reinhard's vdr-1.7.0-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff.bz2 patch. The patched patch is for those who have used the patch from 04-10-2008.
I'm about to begin setting up my new VDR with DVB-S2 support, so I was wondering
- where is the ultimate S2API driver source?
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/ http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/s2/ http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/s2-mfe/ - s2api with multifrontend support
Steve can you comment the differences between s2 and s2-mfe trees and whether those are planned to be compined in near future?
To my understanding the only difference between s2 and s2-mfe branches is the support for hvr-4000 style of devices. So:
- s2: --> would support only 1 frontend for 1 card at a time. Therefore one would need to select during the driver loading time whether to want to use hvr-4000 in DVB-S/S2 mode or in DVB-T mode.
So in dev-tree following are available:
[root@tinka vdr-1.7.0]# ls -la /dev/dvb/adapter0/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 2008-10-05 10:56 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 80 2008-10-05 10:56 ../ crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 4 2008-10-05 10:56 demux0 crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 5 2008-10-05 10:56 dvr0 crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 3 2008-10-05 10:56 frontend0 crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 7 2008-10-05 10:56 net0
- s2-mfe: --> can create multiple fronends for single card eventhoughg only one of those can in reality to be used simultaneously. Thus one does not need to select between DVB-S/S2 mode and DVB-T mode during the driver load time. So following nodes are available:
[root@tinka vdr-1.7.0]# ls -la /dev/dvb/adapter0/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 200 2008-10-05 10:56 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 80 2008-10-05 10:56 ../ crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 68 2008-10-05 10:56 demux0 crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 84 2008-10-05 10:56 demux1 crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 69 2008-10-05 10:56 dvr0 crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 85 2008-10-05 10:56 dvr1 crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 67 2008-10-05 10:56 frontend0 crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 83 2008-10-05 10:56 frontend1 crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 71 2008-10-05 10:56 net0 crw-rw----+ 1 lamikr video 212, 87 2008-10-05 10:56 net1
