Tuners enumerated in the wrong order

[fe31nz]

I am trying SATPI on a PC that has two 8 tuner cards (TBS6909 DVB-S/S2 and TBS6902 DVB-T/T2/C). With 16 tuners (currently numbered 0-4,7-17 for historical reasons), it looks like SATPI is enumerating them in alphanumeric order, so they go 0,1,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,2,3,4. This is terribly confusing when you are trying work out which tuner is which - I could only work it out by looking in the SATPI.xml file. It would be much better if the tuners were enumerated in numeric order: 0,1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17.

It would also be really useful if the "Frontend Overview" web page listed the adapter number (/dev/dvb/frontend). That would help where the tuners are not consecutively numbered, as with my missing 5 and 6.

Hi @fe31nz

Thanks for giving this a try.

Is it really enumerating wrong or showing wrong in web-if? So what is the path showing in web-if "Frontend xx" is that accordingly numbered?

Regards,

The web-if "Frontend 0" is /dev/dvb/frontend0, 1 is 1, 2 is 10, 3 is 11, 4 is 12, ... 8 is 16, 9 is 17, 10 is 2, 11 is 3, ..., 15 is 9.

Hi @fe31nz

I implemented the suggested changes.

And @issue implemented this suggestion (please get new web directory):

It would also be really useful if the "Frontend Overview" web page listed the adapter number (/dev/dvb/frontend).
