That was a (IMHO stupid) hack by Holger with the purpose of speeding up tuning with szap a little bit by avoiding the FE_INIT after re-opening the frontend device. I.e. Holger's use-case was to run szap, terminate if with ^C, re-run szap for different program. FE_INIT reintializes all demod registers so can take noticable time if the i2c bus speed is slow. IMHO dvb_shutdown_timeout never had any practical relevance. BTW, Holger's preferred app for watching video was http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps/file/tip/test/video.c :-) Johannes _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
