I've searched all the lists and documentation to find the answer to this and come up short, so I thought I'd mention it here to see if it really is a bug before I report it.
I've been using mythtv with a single PVR250 for about a year, I just added firewire support to get HDTV and digital channels using an SA3250HD. Everything works fine unless I attempt to change the channel (while watching live tv), to a channel that is only available on the tuner that is not currently in use. Mythtv seems to ignore the channel change request unless that channel is assigned to the currently active tuner. Here's where it get's interesting: if I change channels by using the EPG, then mythtv actually switches tuners like I would expect and tunes to the new channel. If I use the manual tuner toggle controls, it swaps tuners without issue. It only appears to have a problem when a new channel is keyed in without the EPG active. I traced the code a small bit to TV::ChangeChannelByString() and the calls to ShouldSwitchToAnotherCard() and GetValidRecorderList() are both failing (showing that all tuners are in use when they're obviously not), when the EPG is not active. Is this a bug? Or am I missing something that should be obvious? I'm having difficulty debugging it further, 'cause the machine in question is in full time use and I don't want to de-stabilize it (any more than running bleeding-edge code already does). I'm on the current cvs (to get the firewire with SA3250HD support), and I have two separate channel profiles that I fetch from zap2it that are filtered so each of the tuners only get the channels that apply to them. If anyone else can confirm this is a bug, or tell me what I'm missing I would appreciate it. _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list mythtv-dev@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
