Hiho, I just added a second DVB card to my vdr system (v1.2.5), a Technisat Skystar2. The first card is a Hauppauge Nexus, which works well. My goal is to be able to view arbitrary channels (using the Nexus card), while the Skystar2 card records another channel. I'm using the Linux DVB drivers snapshop 2003-09-05 and successfully build the Skystar2 driver. According to the syslog the driver loads without problems: Oct 15 21:03:28 vdr kernel: Technisat SkyStar2 driver loading Oct 15 21:03:28 vdr kernel: skystar2.c: FlexCopII(rev.130) chip found Oct 15 21:03:28 vdr kernel: skystar2.c: MAC address = 00:d0:d7:01:40:a2:00:00 Oct 15 21:03:28 vdr kernel: skystar2.c: key = Oct 15 21:03:28 vdr kernel: ff ff ff ff Oct 15 21:03:28 vdr last message repeated 3 times Oct 15 21:03:28 vdr kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (PCI device 13d0:2103 (Techsan Electronics Co Ltd)). But vdr seems to ignore the card. Here the correspondent syslog entries: Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[184]: VDR version 1.2.5 started [...] Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[184]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[190]: EIT processing thread started (pid=190) - master Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[191]: tuner thread started on device 1 (pid=191) Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[184]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[184]: found 1 video device Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[184]: initializing plugin: remote (0.1.1): Remote control Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[184]: remote: using '/dev/input/event0' Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[184]: initializing plugin: dvd (0.3.3): turn VDR into an (almost) full featured DVD player Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[184]: setting primary device to 1 Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[184]: SVDRP listening on port 2001 Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[184]: starting plugin: remote Oct 15 21:03:29 vdr vdr[184]: starting plugin: dvd [...] It looks that the Skymaster2 card is at /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0, but vdr doesn't detect it. The Nexus card works well (which is adapter1 I guess). So what I'm doing wrong here? The Skystar2 card obviously is supported by the DVB drivers, but probably not by vdr? If that's the case, which low budget cards are definitely supported by vdr? If you need any further information, please tell me. Thanks, Joern -- Joern Reder Development Head ZYN!
