I recently moved on to the wonderful world of multiple DVB-T cards in my VDR and also set up streamdev-server for use with VLC for HTTP/PES-streams to a remote PC. However I ran into a problem with how streamdev and my primary output coexist.
Software:
vdr-1.3.43DVB drivers from 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 kerneldxr3-0.2.5 pluginLatest streamdev-cvs (Jan 20)Hardware:
2x Airstar2 budget DVB-T (FlexCopIIb)DXR3 (Hollywood+)P3/800 + 1.5GB RAMAnd how / what happens:
- I restart VDR "fresh" with only dxr3 and streamdev plugin loaded
- I switch my primary output (dxr3) to the preferred channel, works fine
- I connect via the streamdev HTTP server to a channel which is on
another mux and my dxr3 output switches to the first channel in that mux. Apparently the streamdev is somehow grabbing the same budget card and forcing the mux switch.
I recall something like this when I first tried streamdev with a VDR client. I "fixed" the problem by forcing each DVB card to a specific mux in channels.conf. Somehow I thought this wasn't a problem with HTTP streaming, but that doesn't make sense, so I probably remember it wrong. I've also kept the forced settings for other reasons, which keeps me from experiencing these annoying switches.
