Good i didn't know that years ago when setting up my vdr boxes... :) IOW this approach has been working for me for quite a while w/o any problems. Note i'm still at 1.4.x and my 'gaps' actually contain adapters (unused by this vdr instance). If the gaps really are a problem you could always renumber the adapters using udev rules such as SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", KERNELS=="0000:00:0e.0", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter%%i/%%s 0 $${K#*.}'", NAME:="%c" SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", KERNELS=="0000:02:09.0", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter%%i/%%s 1 $${K#*.}'", NAME:="%c" etc artur _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
