If I am following you correctly, There is one issue however. If an adapter can have only a single frontend, then there will exist another issue: - Card has dual multi standard frontend(s). - Card has CI cards on both the paths (2 CI controllers) - Card provides scrambled stream as well as descrambled stream (4 simultaneous streams) - Card needs to swap between the CI modules to take advantage of the different modules, rather than reconnecting antenna inputs/manually swapping the CI modules. Eventually, to handle such a situation: all the nodes exposed to the application has to be under the "same" adapter, rather than as 4 different adapters, of which 2 of them won't have any frontend or ca devices.
