- I restart VDR "fresh" with only dxr3 and streamdev plugin loaded

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.
And I worked-around this bug by changing the transfer-mode primary limit. This however has the side effect that *any* channel change to a non-tuned channel (i.e. the mux is not already tuned in any of the cards) will require an additional DVB card as the tuner of the current channel is not regarded as free when selecting the card to tune to the new channel. I have no problem with that, as I have 3 cards and 3 muxes.
