Multirec branch.

I noticed on the multirec branch, that it will only share a tuner if it
needs to... it strikes me that this could result in being 'kicked off'
LiveTv in some cases. Is there any reason for this. I would have thought it
would be best to try and share a tuner as a preference to using a new one
wherever possible.

Or have I misconfigured something?

Have you deleted all your capture cards before increasing the maximum
number of concurrent recordings or have you changed the number of
concurrent recordings after setting up all cards?

That is subject to change but atm it's necessary to share the card
whenever possible. Alternatively you could use a distinct input
priorities in the "input connections" setup screen for each card.

Re: Multirec branch. [In reply to]

Hi Janne,

I hadn't, but now I have, and it works much better - seems it's to do with
the ordering of the card id's right?

I've found some scenarios where it still doesn't always share, eg when a
recording is on tuner 2 because of a previous conflict, it'll still grab the
first available tuner, which might now be tuner 1.

I'm currently working on a patch for this. Do you want me to send it to you,
or post it to some ticket?

Martin

Re: Multirec branch. [In reply to]

Well... I've attached the patch to #3326 anyway. I find it useful - use it
if you wish. I haven't bothered with the details in MoveHigherRecords etc,
but this should catch most, if not all cases. I may check those later, when
I don't have a house to decorate. ;) It doesn't seem to break anything
anyway.

Re: Multirec branch. [In reply to]

I've checked the details in MoveHigherRecords, and I'm happy with the patch
as it stands. I've also tested this with my card's set up 'badly', i.e. I
added all of the cards, before upping the number of records allowed on each
one. It seems to eliminate the need to do this in order.
