Recently in kernel was added full multistream support (DTV_STREAM_ID) https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1351421/
is there any plans to implement multistream support in vdr ?
DTV_STREAM_ID is already used in VDR for DVB-T2.
The current DVB-T2 support is with CXD2820. CXD2820 supports only a single TS. The only demodulators in kernel that supports Multiple Input Stream (MIS) are the STV0900 and the STV0903.
yes.
But what do you think about cx24116 - is it possible to patch cx24116 driver/firmware for multistream support ?
@Goga: can you explain in just a few words what exactly "Multiple Input Stream" is,
The multistream is part of dvb-s2 standard. The main idea is on ONE carrier can exist several independed transport streams. Each stream can exist as separated TS stream with channels.
more details here are http://www.newtec.eu/applications/broadcast/multistream-or-efficient-satelli...
and if there are any DVB-S2 channels (here in Europe) that actually use this?
yes,
