Well maybe but unfortunately responds to my mails in linux-dvb /
linux-media mailinglist for that problem.
@Klaus:
If that problem happens, a manual reset of the cam under vdr's
menu->settings->ci brings the cam back.
What about trying to reset a cam automatically when it's Status is !=
msReady?
Like this:
diff --git a/device.c b/device.c

SlotPriority[CamSlot->Index()] = MAXPRIORITY + 1; // assumes it can't be used
