cx18 driver not in main repo?
Hi all,
I noticed today that the cx18 driver (for Hauppauge's HVR-1600) is not in the main v4ldvb repository. I was hoping to take advantage of the new module parameter "adapter_nr" for my other dvb card (using the saa7134_dvb driver) to achieve a consistent device numbering across restarts. Instead, I had to check out Hans Verkuil's repo with the cx18, but without the new module parameter.
Is there a reason why the cx18 driver is not available in the main repo?

Andreas,
Hans just asked Mauro to pull it. See:

The latest of Hans' cx18 repo does have the parameter in question. From my hg cloned copy:
$ grep -n adapter_nr cx18/linux/drivers/media/video/cx18/* cx18/linux/drivers/media/video/cx18/cx18-dvb.c:29:DVB_DEFINE_MOD_OPT_ADAPTER_NR(adapter_nr); cx18/linux/drivers/media/video/cx18/cx18-dvb.c:144: THIS_MODULE, &cx->dev->dev, adapter_nr);
Beyond "/sbin/modinfo cx18" I can't test if it works. But if you need it, it's there.
Regards,
Andy

yep, you're right. I got the module versions mixed up. Now, after a restart, I can indeed set the adapter_nr for both cards. I'm a happy camper now :)

I noticed that you jumped in and helped with the development of the cx18 and ivtv driver. Thank you very much!

You're welcome.
I'm mostly trying to lighten Hans' load on cx18 and get better TV picture for myself, since I live in a "deep fringe" reception area. Hans still shapes the development direction and final form of changes for cx18.
Also still look to Hans for the ivtv driver. Unless I have a major problem with my PVR-150, I don't anticipate contributing much to ivtv.
Regards,
Andy
