Message: <blockquote data-quote="deeptho" data-source="post: 1163303" data-attributes="member: 215446">I have uploaded new drivers on github.The list of changes in release-1.2 is below. They mainly affect stid135 cards and the maninnovelty is to support tbs61916, to introduce sysfs (will be documented later).The drivers also have a small improvement for tvheadend: it is not possible to attach arbibtrary demods to specific tuner inputs. For instance, this means that you can configure adapter0 to be a master tuner, and all other adapters to be slave tuners. All of these tuners will be connectedto the same cable at input 0. This is handy if you have only one cable connected to the card and then allows to view 8 different muxes in the same satellite band (e.g., low horizontal).For instance [ICODE]echo  0 | sudo dd of=/sys/module/stid135/card0/chip0/demod1/default_rf_in[/ICODE]connects demodulator 1 to rf input 0.And the corresponding adapter is 2, as can be found from:[ICODE]$cat /sys/module/stid135/card0/chip0/demod1/state nr=1 adapter_no=2 default_rf_in=1 selected_rf_in=-1llr_in_use=0freq=0lock=0 fec=0 demod=0 error=0 signal=0 carrier=0 viterbi=0 sync=0 timedout=0 timing=0freq=0 sym_rate=0power=-0.0dBm cnr=0/0dB ber=0[/ICODE]The strange numbering of adapters and demods is due to  specifying in /etc/modprobe.d/tbsecp3.conf:[icode]options tbsecp3 adapter_nr=0,2,4,6,1,3,5,7[/icode]This basically renumvers the adapters: adapter2 corresponds to the second demodulator, which demod1Changes* Added sysfs entries in /sys/modules/stid135/* Allow setting the default rf input for each demod, for use with tvheadend. This allows more than one slave  tuner to use the same rf input connector on the card.* Incorporated changes from the official tbs drivers up to July 11 2024.* Improved determination of card mac addresses and generating fake mac addresses should the card not have one set.* Support for the tbs6916 card.* Bug: stid135 based cards sends out 21kHz tone and diseqc base frequency instead of 22kHz and this causes some  diseqc switcches to sometimes ignore commands.* Provide additional ioctls to support "syncrhonized" calls, where one adapter can wait on another adapter  to finish setting voltages, tones and sending diseqc commands* Protection against drivers which blindly assume name to be of size 128.* Bug: fe_read_status should not return -1 on timeout.* stv091x: fix isi scan.* Bug: tuning loop runs to early when diseqc is sent but no tuning info is present yet.</blockquote>
