I've got 2 TV tuners on my MythTV box - they both can receive exactly
the same programs, but I've created 2 sets of channels each - i.e.
encoder 1 has channel 1: BBC1, channel 2: BBC2 and so on. And encoder
2 has channel 1001: BBC1, channel 1002: BBC2 and so on. It all works
fine, I can choose which TV tuner to use for different programs,
MythTV always record the correct channel from the correct TV tuner.
Anyway, there's a certain rubbish soap shown on Sundays on Channel 4
that I want to watch, and I prefer the 2nd TV tuner, so I set MythTV
to record Hollyoaks Omnibus from channel 1004 at that specific time.
But for the last 3 weeks, MythTV has been recording ITV from the 1st
encoder (i.e. channel 3)!
Channel 3? Typo?
I checked the recording schedules, it clearly shows "Channel 1004"
but the "Scheduled recordings" list, it shows it will record Hollyoaks
from channel 4?! And no, there is no clash, there is nothing else
scheduled to be recorded on the whole day.
Using MythWeb, I click on "Recording Schedules" and it shows:
T4:Hollyoaks 1004 - Channel 4 Default Default Find
One Weekly
Then click on "Scheduled Recordings"
1 T4:Hollyoaks 4 - Channel 4 Sun Jul 3, 2005 (10:20
AM) 2 hrs 35 mins Don't Record Never Record
Note, it says 4, and on encoder 1 - should be 1004, on encoder 2!
Hmm, playing around with it, it seems that all other programs on
Channel 4 has the same problem.....
"Recording Schedules" shows:
Channel 4 Racing from Sandown Park and Haydock Park 1004 -
Channel 4 Default Default Once
"Scheduled Recordings" shows:
1 Channel 4 Racing from Sandown Park and Haydock Park 4 -
Channel 4 Sat Jul 2, 2005 (02:00 PM) 2 hrs Don't
Record Never Record
Myth is smart enough to identify when channels on different input
sources are the same channel, so it knows that 4 and 1004 are the same.
That maximizes it ability to get all the shows you want.
Other channels works just fine:
"Recording Schedules" shows:
Wimbledon 2005 1001 - BBC ONE Default Default Once
"Scheduled Recordings" shows:
2 Wimbledon 2005 1001 - BBC ONE Sat Jul 2, 2005 (01:30
PM) 2 hrs 30 mins Don't Record Never Record
See, the channel numbers matches up fine, and encoder 2 is selected.
The difference is not the channel--it's the recording rule. Because
it's a record once, it records that particular showing. If it were a
find once (or record always, etc.), it might record from the other encoder.
Any ideas anyone? I'm starting to miss my weekly Hollyoaks fix!
Aren't you getting it when it records on channel 4 (or was the 3 above
not a typo)?
Setting up the different channels is not accomplishing anything. I
recommend deleting the 10XX channels and reassigning the input on
encoder 2 to the same as encoder 1.
If you want to prefer a specific encoder, you should do that with
encoder priorities.
If it's only this show that you want on that encoder, it gets much
harder. I don't think there's any functionality to allow specifying the
encoder for a particular recording. If you can make a good argument why
it's necessary (instead of picking the "best" available encoder--where
best is defined by encoder priorities), you might be able to convince
someone to send in a patch.
HTH.
