--- Comment #11 from Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+...@kernel.org> --- The point is that the DVB support on version 2.x is partially done via libdvbv5. The new version of the library detects itself the DVB devices (and will allow to not only use local devices, but also remote ones). The Kaffeine 2.0.1 implementation to support the closed-source userspace driver is a hack: as it seeks for userspace-created fake nodes under /dev/dvb and expects that the library would work fine with that. This won't be true anymore with newer versions of the library, as the library needs to do different things if the device is local or remote. So, it relies on udev for local devices In other words, it doesn't use the device's path (/dev/dvb/..), but, instead, the name announced by the driver via sysfs. It would still be possible to add support to the userspace driver, if someone with the hardware has interest on writing such code, but the approach will be different. Anyway, my plan is to add support for the new version of the library in a couple of weeks. So, IMHO, it doesn't make sense to apply a patch that we know it will be broken real soon now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
