The transfer-mode uses always priority -1.
That presents a problem: If I connect to that vdr using streamdev, it switches the first budget device off from the multiplex transfered to the FF card, although there is a second identical budget device available.
Actually, the PrimaryLimit was implemented at a time where the FF DVB cards were unable to record and replay at the same time. In that case, when a timer needed to use the primary device, it was no longer possible to switch to a different channel. These times are long gone, so I would instead tend to remove the PrimaryLimit altogether. It would make things simpler instead of more complex ;-)
If somebody has programmed so many timers that all of the DVB cards are needed to record them, so be it.
Comments?
How exactly would that resolve the situation I described above?
Well, it wouldn't. Apparently I overread that this was a streamdev issue. But then again, it's of course the same problem if you are in Transfer-Mode and a recording starts and selects the receiver device, even though an other device would be free.
I'll think over this again...
