Multiple Channels from one Multiplex...

Is there noone here who has the ability to code this feature and has
interest on a little money?? Or someone who likes this for himself?? As
we see on the pleg who has started we have over 30 people who would
spend 30$ for someone who codes this (750$)... Or maybe we can get is as
a project for the summer of code 2007.

Just my 2c here...unless you raise a LOT of money you are going to need to find
a myth developer who REALLY wants this feature in order to get it implemented
(in other words money can't be the primary motivation). Part of the problem
with getting a developer to really want this feature though is that HD tuners
have become fairly cheap so it just isn't worth a qualified developer's time to
implement this vs the cost of buying another tuner.

For $160 you can buy a dual tuner HDHomeRun box...that isn't a lot of money when
you weigh it vs spending dozens of hours to write this feature.

All that said I would love to see someone implement what you're asking for and
would gladly throw in $30.

There are too few developers (who each have their own interests), too
many requests, and not enough time (just look at the outstanding
patches and enhancements, let alone defects in trac). The project is
still very small and I'm guessing the number of developers with commit
rights is tightly controlled so that direction of the project can be
carefully directed.

One still hopes that someone gets the itch sufficiently badly in order
that they decide to scratch it though :) It would really be a great
feature.

if you think about PCI cards in newer motherboards - there are often
just two (or at best three) PCI slots. With these two cards you can
currently record two programs - and you're done unless you buy another
backend with free PCI slots and also buy more cards (and antenna
splitters, and signal amplifiers etc. - not even talking about dish
where splitting the signal is even more complicated AFAIK). If Myth got
this feature you could record say 6 or 8 programs without spending any
more money for hardware...

You're all right, but like aaron implemnted this feature also writing to
multiple files is supported, so not only mor strems from one multiplex are
working also programms from one channel can be recored to two files with
overlapping time...

I tried myself to support aaron with his patches, but the myth internal was
too complex for me....

I hope we find someone who took his work and finishes it in a way that issac
accepts for svn include....
