Re: Restricting a particular dvb card from tuning to channels with a selected modulation

Ok, so the sysfs names of vendor/product are driver-dependent... All my usb devices have idVendor/idProduct even though only one of them is "Reddo".

Tried to create the hook on Initialize(), still crashes on exit().

Haven't tried your patch, because as far as I know the driver claims it can do QAM256, and even if that was disabled today it would take some time to get into all linux distributions... Btw it even claims to support QAM256 on the product package, but it still doesn't work. I guess that's the reason they are so inexpensive here...

Please try creating the cReddoDeviceHook in cPluginDisableReddoQAM256::Initialize(),
as suggested in PLUGINS.html.

This is what I get here:

root@video:/home/kls/vdr/VDR > ls -l /sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0/device/subsystem_*
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2010-04-05 16:25 /sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0/device/subsystem_device
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2010-04-05 16:25 /sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0/device/subsystem_vendor

root@video:/home/kls/vdr/VDR > ls -l /sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0/device/id*
ls: cannot access /sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0/device/id*: No such file or directory

Maybe a bug in the driver?

0x0000
root@video:/home/kls/vdr/VDR > cat /sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0/device/subsystem_vendor
0x13c2

Maybe the "reddo" driver behaves differently than the FuSi driver?

Will do.


Have you tried whether it works with my patch?
In that case you wouldn't even need the whole plugin.
