Hi Devin,
I did some tests (and fixes) for WinTV Nova-TD, with has two adapters.
I saw two alternatives for it:
1) to create a media controller device for each adapter;
2) to create just one media controller.
I actually implemented (1), as, in the case of this device, AFAIKT, the
two devices are indepentent, e. g. it is not possible to, for example,
share the same tuner with two demods:
$ ls -la /dev/media?
crw-rw----. 1 root video 249, 0 Fev 23 10:02 /dev/media0
crw-rw----. 1 root video 249, 1 Fev 23 10:02 /dev/media1
The adapter 0 corresponds to /dev/media0, and the adapter 1
to /dev/media1:
$ media-ctl --print-dot -d /dev/media0
digraph board {
rankdir=TB
n00000001 [label="dvb-demux\n/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0", shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=yellow]
n00000001 -> n00000002
n00000002 [label="dvb-dvr\n/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0", shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=yellow]
n00000003 [label="dvb-net\n/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0", shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=yellow]
n00000004 [label="DiBcom 7000PC\n/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0", shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=yellow]
n00000004 -> n00000001
}
$ media-ctl --print-dot -d /dev/media1
digraph board {
rankdir=TB
n00000001 [label="dvb-demux\n/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0", shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=yellow]
n00000001 -> n00000002
n00000002 [label="dvb-dvr\n/dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0", shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=yellow]
n00000003 [label="dvb-net\n/dev/dvb/adapter1/net0", shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=yellow]
n00000004 [label="DiBcom 7000PC\n/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0", shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=yellow]
n00000004 -> n00000001
}
On a more complex hardware where some components may be rewired
on a different way, however, using just one media controller
would be a better approach.
