  You might want to try changing this function:
  
  bool cDvbDevice::Initialize(void)
  {
int found = 0;
int i;
for (i = 0; i  MAXDVBDEVICES; i++) {
if (UseDevice(NextCardIndex())) {
   if (Probe(*cDvbName(DEV_DVB_FRONTEND, i))) {
  new cDvbDevice(i);
  found++;
  }
   else
  NextCardIndex(1); // skips this one  === changed line
   }
else
   NextCardIndex(1); // skips this one
}
NextCardIndex(MAXDVBDEVICES - i); // skips the rest
if (found  0)
   isyslog(found %d video device%s, found, found  1 ? s : );
else
   isyslog(no DVB device found);
return found  0;
  }
  
  Untested, don't know if it will actually work as expected.
 
 I will test this and let you know.
 
 Thank you!

This seems not to work.

Does anybody have another idea?

Thank you.

Good i didn't know that years ago when setting up my vdr boxes... :)
IOW this approach has been working for me for quite a while w/o any
problems. Note i'm still at 1.4.x and my 'gaps' actually contain
adapters (unused by this vdr instance).
If the gaps really are a problem you could always renumber the adapters
using udev rules such as

SUBSYSTEM==dvb, SUBSYSTEMS==pci, KERNELS==:00:0e.0, PROGRAM=/bin/sh 
-c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter%%i/%%s 0   $${K#*.}', 
NAME:=%c
SUBSYSTEM==dvb, SUBSYSTEMS==pci, KERNELS==:02:09.0, PROGRAM=/bin/sh 
-c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter%%i/%%s 1   $${K#*.}', 
NAME:=%c

etc

[vdr] sparse DVB adapter numbers

2009-03-19 Thread Patrick Rother 
Dear vdr fellows.

For a reason not to go in details too much here, I would like to make
vdr recognise sparse DVB adapter numbers.

I have:

r...@vdr:/dev/dvb# ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 200 Mar 19 11:59 adapter0/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 Mar 19 11:59 adapter1/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 Mar 19 11:59 adapter5/

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 Mar 19 11:59 adapter7/
r...@vdr:/dev/dvb# 

But vdr uses only the first two devices.

Is there any easy possibility to patch the code accordingly?

Thank you.
