V4L/DVB (12482): firedtv: add PID filtering for SW zigzag retune
The AVC protocol uses the same command for tuning and PID filtering and since dvb-core uses a software zigzagging to do automatic retuning this could cause all PID filters to be cleared. PID filter information is now included in all DSD commands to the card. Background: There is a problem in the firedtv driver that causes recordings to stop if the SW zigzag algorithm in dvb-core kicks in with a retune after the application has set up the PID filters. Since tuning and setting PID filters uses the same AVC command (DSD) and only the replace subfunction is supported by the card, it is not possible to do a retune without setting the PID filters. This means that the PID filtering has to be sent in each tune. This problem applies to C and T cards since S and S2 cards tune using a vendor specific command. The patch corrects the problem by sending the PID list in each tune. I have tested it on my T card with a good result. How to trigger problem: Zap to a channel and output AV to a file, e.g. "tzap -c channels.conf SVT1 -r -o SVT1.ts". After a short while, pull the antenna cable from the card. The lock on the channel will disappear and the TS file will stop increasing in size. Wait a couple of seconds. Replug the cable again. You will get a lock on the channel again, but the TS file will never increase in size agains sinze no PIDS are filtered. Tested with kaffeine with DVB-T and DVB-C: Fixes retuning after antenna was plugged out and back in with DVB-T. Does not fix this with DVB-C, but also doesn't regress on DVB-C.
