issue: when 1st tuner busy recording, browsing channels on 2nd tuner is "jumpy"

Hello,

I am not sure if this is a mythtv issue but I am at the moment experimenting with myth 0.22 on a 9.10 mythbuntu BE/FE machine.

The h/w:
- Technisat CableStar HD2
- P5N7A-VM mobo (nFoece 730i, geForce 9300 on board)
- Core 2 Duo proc, nominal speed 2 x 1.6 GHz
- serial infrared receiver IRA3 (OEM version)

All seems to work very nicely, the nvidia vdpau is really amazing with HD content. I have been monitoring the CPU usage and all I can say is wow!

HOWEVER, something is fishy with the UI:
- when I toggle "record" on a live show, I can still continue browsing channels and shift to a different one, but the available channels when doing so is drastically reduced: only a few will be accessed, with sometimes big gaps between 2 channels. It's like something gets severely restrictive. When I cancel the recording of the live show, browsing channels is back to normal.

Is this a bug or related to how the TV card works ? I am not yet familiar with the 0.22 functioning. In mythtv 0.21 and with the PVR500, when one tuner was in use for recording a live show, you had to restart liveTV and use the other tuner but then, all channels were available.

Do I miss something with 0.22 ?

Thanks for any tip.

J.

This is not a bug.
Apparently You have multirec turned on.

If you are recording a show you can only watch channels on the same
transponder.

How many tuners do you have.
You hardware list says one, but you seem to have more.

hey, thanks for feedback.

I have one TV card, but it seems to be a dual tuner card as the information displayed by mythtv shows some Tuner1 and Tuner2 status.

Re: issue: when 1st tuner busy recording, browsing channels on 2nd tuner is "jumpy" [In reply to]

Hi there,

Yes, I am top posting but this device gives me no other choice, damn
android!

If the user has a dual tuner than the user is rightly asking why? If the
user has one tuner we need to suggest multirec.

If multirec then the second show shouldn't be jumpy unless cpu load or i/o
on the pci?bus/hdd was saturated.

If it is hd I would think this is more than possible with pci and the use
may wish to turn off multirec to prevent this.

Multirec allows a single tuner to tune into a single frequency where
multiple channels are transmitted in a single multiplex. Myth can reqwuest
one or more channels upto various system limits (hdd / i/o on the
appropriate bus / cpu etc).



Please excuse brevity and mistakes, this email was composed on a mobile
phone.

Thanks and regards,
Richard Morton
