NOTE: This is an unsupported hack so that legacy software works with the hardware! To properly pass data through a CI CAM you should read the TS from a dvr device and write it to a ci device in user space! Redirection of TS streams through CI modules is now supported through /sys/class/ddbridge/ddbridge0/redirect. It only works with cards based on the ddbridge PCIe bridge, not with nGene based cards. It is set up in such a way that you can write "AB CD" to a "redirect" attribute and data from input B of card A is then piped through port D (meaning TAB (D+1) which uses output D and input 2*D for CI io) of card C and then shows up in the demux device belonging to input B (input (B&1) of TAB (B/2+1)) of card A. E.g.: echo "00 01" > /sys/class/ddbridge/ddbridge0/redirect will pipe input 0 of card 0 through CI at port 1 (TAB 2) of card 0. Redirection should only be done right after loading the driver (or booting if the driver is built-in) and before using the devices in any way. adapter_alloc=3 is rcommended when using redirect The ci device will then show up in the same adapter directory and most software will then assume it belongs to the frontend in the same directory.
