As a working example, I added similar support in my older HVR3000 tree where two frontends share a single transport bus. The code is old but it demonstrates a solution, much the my earlier patches for shared DVB/Blackbird boards also. I understand how this patch helps the current dvb tree, it stops multiple people opening a device but that's it. ... Or, maybe I've just missed to point. - Steve _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
