To my understanding the mentioned use case would have - according to linux-media project logic of how to handle this - would look like
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 ... /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0 /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0 ... /dev/dvb/adapter1/ca0
so it would be 2 adapter with 4 frontends. If for some reason they should be in one adapter how to distinguish between the different cases ? Maybe i did not understand properly the issue.
The very same driver can have 4 real frontends too. By now the issue got complicated too far by the logic mentioned above: So, how will you distinguish between real functional and independant adapters, then (when having multiple adapters) ?
Listen Manu,
i'm not proposing anything here - i try only to reflect what i read on linux-media mailinglist. If you have different opinion/suggestion/understanding i would be thankful if you could provide some better input on how vdr needs to handle this.
