Adapter with multiple frontends
Hi, I use Astrometa DVB-T2, https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Astrometa_DVB-T2 I don't have problem when I use direct for example with tvheadend. But when I use minisatip i see only one frontend. This stick has one tuner R828D but two demodulators one for dvb-t Realtek RTL2832P and one for dvb-t2 Panasonic MN88472. I have two frontends in /dev/dvb/adapter0

But minisatip tests only demuxX, dvrX and frontendX with same number X. When I manually swap frontends I can use dvb-t2. But I cannot use both. I now it impossible to use in one moment because is only one tuner but I cannot send one request for dvb-t and after end of session send second for dvb-t2 :(.
Thanks I you will have a time for fixing it. Thanks.
Here You have experimental workaround: https://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2017-December/029311.html. Maybe it'll help.
Thanks I have used similar solution few days ago. It is only workaround, but functional workaround ;).
This problem is still not handled better than using this method (https://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2017-December/029311.html ) right people?

The mentioned page isn't available, can you please post the workaround here?
The gist of it is that you need to move/symlink your /dev/dvb/adapterX/frontendY device files so they're swapped, since minisatip only uses the first one. This is something that would be nice to have fixed at some point, it's a bad workaround.
So there's actually no way to use both tuners in minisatip at the moment?
