TBS 6590/6504 not detecting DVB-S system

[Delitants]

Hi, this is bizarre, but minisatip refuses to set TBS 6590 Multi standard and 6504 card in DVB-S mode. minisatip -f -x 8081 -e 0,1 -j -a 2 0:6-1155-23 -v general

I don't see such problem with TVHeadend, it detects everything right and tuning goes ok. From other hand, minisatip has no issue with TBS 6909/X

[9000h]

it's a multifrontend issue

it's a multifrontend issue

Okay and how to get around it? Why TVHeadend has no problem with it?

Apparently nobody took care of it since then https://github.com/catalinii/minisatip/issues/399

Had to flip their names. Silly fix and needed to be put in script on boot.

mv /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend2 mv /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 mv /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend2 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1
