The tuner code needs to be generalized before it can be generally available. o support STB vs WinCast we should try to make as easy as possible to identify the various tuners. I know that that the linux driver does this or it attempts to do it. A similar scheme plus assistance from the application should be provided. For instance, if the driver fails to recognized the appropiate tuner, the application should provide an option to chose the correct tuner. o the open call now ignores a second open so a second application can alter the video capture parameters for the first client. We should probably adopt a minor version scheme to isolate tuner specific control from the video capture driver. o Broadcast vs Cable Broadcast. At the very least the application should provide a mechanism to chose from either. o Whenever possible we should not alter the meteor device structure , all required changes should be isolated to the bt848 driver. So I really would like to have the base driver checked in so others can start working on the driver. If this is a thorny situation please check in whatever you guys feel like . I am really too busy with work to manage this effort;hence, what a wonderful opportunity for you guys 8) I will be out of town all this week and I expect to come back Friday. Now is back to work over here...
