It was working fine on Pd-extended. Once you opened the midi dialog or sent a pd-message with the settings new MIDIinterfaces were there.
I was monitoring the /dev/ folder every 2 or 3 seconds to see if midi1, midi2, midi3 or midi 4 was present or better has changed. If a change happened I sent the message with the MIDI setup to Pd and the new devices were there. e.g. [pd midi-dialog 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 4 4( meaning open input 1,2,3 and 4 and output 1,2,3 and 4. (1st 4 digits are inputs, 2nd four digits are outputs, then number of midi ins and number of midi outs) Now this doesn't do anything anymore.
