[dvblast-devel] CA device addressing

[Kompan Kolia]

I try to use mknod for "symlink" of /adapter1/ca0 as /adapter0/ca1
It`s work with -y option.

In this case I need two instance of dvblast.
One for receive signal from adapter0 and cam0
Second for receive signal from adapter0 and cam1 (symlink of adapter1/ca0)
 
But second instance can`t start because frontend0 is use.

>> We want to achieve following:
>>
>> First instance of dvblast:
>> 1 Receives encrypted DVB-S2 signal from the first input (/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0)
>> 2 CA0 (/dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0) decrypts it.
>>
>> Second instance of dvblast:
>> 1 Receives encrypted DVB-S2 signal from the same FIRST input (/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0)  (the same transponder)
>> 2 CA0 from second card (/dev/dvb/adapter1/ca0) decrypts it.
>>
>> Third instance of dvblast:
>> Receives unencrypted FTA DVB-S2 signal from second input (/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0) from some other transponder.
>>
>> We know about -y (--ca) feature, but it does not work for us, because second CA (adapter1/ca0) assigned to other DVB-tuner (adapter1) during boot.
>>
>> Is there any solution or workaround for specifying input source for receive stream and CA to decode it.

>> Example:
>>
>> ######### For First Input #################
>>
>> dvblast  -a 0 -f xxxxx -s xxxxxx -v 13 -c /dvblast.cfg
