VLC not handling devices with multiple DVB frontends
The only option to select a device (tuner) is by the adapter number in the VLC user interface
/dev/dvb/adapter[0-9]
I am using a USB tuner with two frontends, which VLC can not see.
Extract of dmesg
as an example:
[ 357.116757] usb 2-1.2.4: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Realtek RTL2832 (DVB-T))...
[ 357.116998] usb 2-1.2.4: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 1 (Panasonic MN88473)...
We could except VLC to ask for a frontend in addition to the adapter, for example:
/dev/dvb/adapter[0-9]/frontend[0-9]
