DOH
In my original post I initialized my channel changer plug-in, in local_conf.py, like so:
# plugin for ir blasting for channel change
plugin_ext_tuner = plugin.activate('tv.irsend_generic2',
args=('/usr/bin/irsend -d /dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE 3100_2'))
As I mentioned this worked fine for for interactive TV watching but not for recordserver.
After perusing the code for Geert's suggestion (thanks BTW) I ran across this code in channels.py:
class FreevoChannels:
def __init__(self):
self.chan_index = 0 if config.plugin_external_tuner:
plugin.init_special_plugin(config.plugin_external_tuner)Note: config.plugin_external_tuner!
On a hunch I changed my local_conf.py to read like this:
# plugin for ir blasting for channel change
plugin_external_tuner = plugin.activate('tv.irsend_generic2',
args=('/usr/bin/irsend -d /dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE 3100_2'))Now it works.
I was assuming that the plugin would auto-magically register itself with recordserver somehow (it seemed to for TV watching). It appears the correct variable name is necessary too.
