Re: [vdr] Restricting a particular dvb card from tuning to channels with a selected modulation
hello guys yes i do think this is a good idea... as with different tuners they could be used for other lnbs like c -band and ku i could only use my s2/s card for services on a c and ku setup then tune and record from different types of services... then each tuner could live on a fixed satellite if you wanted On 10/29/09, Timothy D.

I am using VDR 1.7.9, if it makes a difference. Checking the frontend capabilities is certainly the right thing to do, and I will see that this gets implemented.

What I have a problem with is I have a dual tuner and vdr keeps loosing control of one of the tuners. If it happens to be on the secondary when it looses, then it's the first tuner that goes.I don't need to restart drivers, only vdr/xine to restore it. I have also noticed that disabling the atsc epg plugin seems to stop the problem but the author only has one tuner, so no way to confirm/check the problem. If I ever get time to upgrade my other vdr box, it will have both the same dual tuner and a single atsc tuner and a sat tuner. I'll then be able to see if the tuner loss is just that card.

I don't know if this can be done by a plugin but the current solution is difficult for endusers. Setting a diseqc.conf needs some knowledge in diseqc and it's commands. A simple interface for creating a diseqc.conf can improove the usability of vdr! Personally I think adding support for multiple diseqc switches is a more important feature as I've noticed several users asking how to do this in VDR -- which it unfortunately doesn't support. I think this is actually one of the reasons some guys fumble around trying to cascade their diseqc switches. However, not all switches can be cascaded and so they're left stuck. Can't cascade, and no support for multiple switches. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
