[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Extend pvr support to non-ivtv v4l2 cards (e.g. cx88-blackbird)

[Richard Hosking]

Correct.  I don't have such a card so I personally cannot add
support.  This is also true for the tuner functions at the
moment though I am hoping to get my hands on a new DVB card
soon to fill these gaps.

This patch enhances the driver check code to allow non-ivtv v4l2 HW MPEG encoding cards (e.g. cx88-blackbird) to use the pvr access module.
