Hello, i tested over the last days some application uses additional section filter, and i have see the older ci-cam firmware is much more stable in this case. With the newer Link-Layer Firmware i have seen mostly very fast arm-crashes. So i think it should be possible to fix this in the firmware.... An additional module parameter is an nice idea, but is it not better do this via a little change in the api (via dmx_sct_filter_params), so we can select in user-space wich filter we whant to use? So we are able to mix hardware and software section filter at same time.... Greetings Andreas Share -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
