Hi,
I have just acquired a Hauppauge HVR 4000 hybrid DVB-S2 / DVB-T / Analogue card

vdr doesn't know anything about hybrid cards where you can access only one frontend at the same time.
On startup vdr opens all frontends, so when accessing the second one this is blocked.
Since I don't know this card exactly, what devices does it create? Is there also a demux[01] and dvr[01] or just a
demux0 and dvr0? Which frontend do you want to use? For now you have to choose one and start vdr with the "-D" parameter
to tell it which to use.
If there's no demux1 and dvr1 and you want to use frontend1 you'll have the next problem since vdr asumes that every
frontend has its own demux/dvr. I wrote a patch, so vdr uses demux0 with frontend1.
http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2011-November/025411.html
Soon I will have some DVB-C/T hybrid device so I will try to extend the patch so both frontends can be used (not at
the same time of course).
It would be nice if you can send me the output of "ls -la /dev/dvb/adapter0/*".
I don't know exactly what the dvb/v4l spec is saying about hybrid devices and how they should expose their
capabilities but it seems to me there's some discussion about this topic from time to time.
After all this is a problem at application level, not driver level. If I'm wrong please correct me.
And maybe you want to read the vdr mailing list...
Regards,
Lars.
The drivers seem to detect the card OK as seen in dmesg output:

I initially tried using the stock drivers that came with 2.6.37.6 which is where I first experienced the problem. I then tried the latest s2-liplianin- f5cd7d75370e drivers and finally (in the example above) the latest v4l-dvb drivers, all of which exhibit the same problem. I have also tried to use the mfe drivers from November 2008 but could not get them to compile.
Any assistance in resolving this issue would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark Hawes.
