Attached is an updated version of the patch to make VDR use the S2API. Dominik Strasser reported that he got log entries like
Dec 6 18:39:02 VDR vdr: [4102] ERROR: frontend 0: Das Argument ist ungültig Dec 6 18:39:02 VDR kernel: DVB: adapter 0 frontend 1935763502 symbol rate 0 out of range (451875..7230000)
and I now also get
Dec 7 13:03:26 vdr2 vdr: [3441] ERROR: frontend 0: Invalid argument Dec 7 13:03:26 vdr2 kernel: DVB: adapter 0 frontend 0 symbol rate 0 out of range (5000000..45000000)
when trying to tune to a DVB-S2 channel.
The attached patch logs the value put into the DTV_SYMBOL_RATE slot, and it appears to be fine. Why the value falls back to 0 when tuning is currently totally unclear (as is the large frontend value in Dominik's case).
Any help in debugging this would be appreciated.
Some more info: apparently the problem only happens if a DVB-S2 card (a TT-budget S2 3200 in my case) is (attempted to be) tuned to a DVB-S2 channel after the driver has been freshly loaded. Once the card has been tuned to a DVB-S channel, subsequent tuning to DVB-S2 channels works fine.
Now I'm unsure whether this is a VDR bug or a driver bug...
