I may be way off the mark here - I have come in halfway through the

it may be true, doc shows only cp command:

 Note that the 'new' issue occurs with the vanilla Twinhan driver
 and my
 patched version as well.

 Is it maybe possible to force the use of one card as Master
 bonding
 device or does anyone have other ideas to overcome the problems?

 If the master of a set of bonded devices doesn't get a signal, VDR
 should automatically switch the master to the next of the bonded
 devices.
 See cDvbTuner::Action(), case tsTuned:

  if (bondedTunerbondedMaster)
 bondedMasterFailed = true; // give an other tuner a
 chance in
 case the sat cable was disconnected

 Of course, making sure the devices work properly in the first place
 might be a good idea ;-)

 Do i get the term Master wrong? Master in my assumption should be
 the
 device where the liveview signal comes from unless there is a
 recording
 in which case the device tuned to the recording transponder
 should be
 Master.

 In the context of device bonding master means the device that
 actually
 controls the LNB (either trough voltage/tone or DiSEqC). It has
 nothing to
 do with whether this device is used for live view or recording.

In the first case the slave cannot steal the tuning parameters
 to prevent breaking liveview whereas in the second the liveview
 slave
 cannot interefere with the ongoing recording.

 Concerning my issue the ongoing search for transponders on the
 non-liveview device seems to break with the liveview device which
 should
 not happen. Yet in case of recordings i am bit unsure what
 interferes
 with what. I am also still unsure if it is a driver or lnb sharing
 issue
 though the v/h issue in my former setup points to the first case at
 least for a certain kind.

 Do i conclude right, setting the bondedMasterFailed to false in the
 switch construct would be a dirty hack to workaround my bogus setup?

 I'm not sure about that.
 I would suggest you use VDR with only one single device at a time and
 make sure it can receive all polarizations and bands. If a device or
 driver fails to deliver that, you should try to fix it. VDR assumes
 that
 a device actually works ;-)

 Just to add this missing info: Both devices work perfectly in a single
 device setup. Both devices were even capable in the former 1.7.21 dual
 device setup (with my patch).

 Well, then please post your exact setup together with a step-by-step

 Thank you Klaus for your offer and your effort.

 I guess this is one of the bugs (not necessarily a vdr one!) which are

However, there is one thing in the current behavior that I would even
consider a bug: if one starts VDR with

vdr -v /mydir

it uses /mydir as the video directory, but still uses /video for the
configuration files. I believe that as long as there is no explicit
-c option given, the config directory should follow what's given in
the -v option.


You're sure about -c following -v? It worked that way until 1.5.8, but
has been dropped in favor of the final changes regarding CONFDIR in
1.5.11. I don't see any reason to change that. Or did you mess up
--config with --cachedir? Happened to me too.


I surely didn't mean --cachedir because my VDR doesn't have that option (yet) 
;-).
A while ago I ran a test and wanted to use a different video directory,
so I started VDR with the -v option. I was surprised to see that it still
loaded the config files from the default /video directory.


In the latter case:
In my patch, the cacheDirectory follows the VideoDirectory, even if the
latter is set by --video, but only as long as CACHEDIR is un-set. (Same
applies to --config and RESDIR.)

I'm not sure whether this should also be the case if VDR is compiled to
be FHS compliant. In that case users should know about the various
folders, and setting a --video directory should not have precedence over
CACHEDIR=/var/lib/vdr. The only thing I could think of is to check
whether CACHEDIR==VIDEODIR, and only then let cacheDirectory follow
--video, but I would prefer to not use such hacks.


Currently VDR has only two directories, 'video' and 'config'.
The idea is that by default the video directory is /video, and
the config directory is the same. If -v is given, this changes the
video directory, and since config follows video (or at least is supposed to),
the config files will be loaded from the new video directory. Only
if there is an explicit -c option shall the config directory be
different from the video directory.

I'd like to see a similar mechanism for the two new directories
'cache' and 'resource'. By default they follow 'config' and can only
be different if the respective options are given.
The default values for 'cache' and 'resource' shall be empty, in which
case they follow 'config'. If VDR is compiled with non-empty values
for 'cache' and/or 'resource', simply let them no longer follow 'config'
(same behavior as if a command line option has been given).

Don't know whether the patch already behaves this way (haven't checked),
but that's the way it should be.

I'd like eepg to be packaged, but only if the memory leak can be fixed
and it's made to work on Freeview HD. The Huffman tables and marker
bytes at the start of the strings are the same as for Freesat so it just
needs changing to apply this decoding to the standard EIT pids if
necessary, not only to Freesat's pids.


I did fix a couple of memory leaks in my own local build of eepg, but I
still find issues with it killing off my tuners after extended use, so
I'm still not using it.

Tbh, it would probably be better if someone coded it from scratch.


Or rework the alternative patch as a plugin. The patch seems quite
stable to me. But it only supports Freesat and Freeview, not Sky and
whatever else eepg supports.


A smaller amount of work might be just to extend the patch to add a 
setup option to VDR's menus to enable/disable it (and have it disabled 
by default).


The it could potentially be added to the standard patchlist for 
debian/ubuntu/yavdr.

That sounds like a good idea. Tobias, would you be willing to add this
patch if enabling it is made optional?

 You can try to set the adapter number with the module parameter adapter_nr, so the devices have the same order on 
every boot. That will remove one possible cause of failure.

 See modinfo driver.

i did already. yet the two dvbs cards are still device 2 and 3 in the
device bonding setup in the osd and 0 and 1 in the module params. I will
report if the dvbt/dvbs confusion happens again.

Not if this can be done with a plugin as well.

Where can I find the most recent version of the patch?

This is the latest version which Mario Schulz sent me. It has the
Huffman tables built in to the code now instead of as separate files.
