Hi, Sorry to repeat the question, anyone has an idea on this? I appreciate your feedback. Thank you Hamad -----Original Message----- From: linux-media-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-media-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hamad Kadmany Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 10:05 AM To: linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Support for multiple section feeds with same PIDs Hello Question on the current behavior of dvb_dmxdev_filter_start (dmxdev.c) In case of DMXDEV_TYPE_SEC, the code restricts of having multiple sections feeds allocated (allocate_section_feed) with same PID. From my experience, applications might request allocating several section feeds using same PID but with different filters (for example, in DVB standard, SDT and BAT tables have same PID). The current implementation only supports of having multiple filters on the same section feed. Any special reason why it was implemented this way?
Eventually, you might be able to find some reason by digging into the patches that introduced such feature. If this went before 2.6.12-rc2, you'll need to take a look at the Linux history git trees or at the mercurial tree. In any case, if you need to extend it to support multiple sections, just propose a patch extending it, yet maintaining backward compatibility with the existing behavior. Regards, Mauro.
