Klaus added the ability to limit satellites to certain dvb card in VDR-1.7.13. However, a lot of users have the need to do device limiting at the transponder level, which VDR still can't do (and likely will never do I think, unfortunately). But, Klaus also added device hooks in VDR-1.7.13 as well:
- Implemented cDeviceHook to allow plugins more control over which device can provide which transponder (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
This means that a plugin can be written that DOES provide device limiting at the transponder level! Rnissl, as a test for the device hook patch, threw together a quick skeleton plugin using hardcoded values and it worked great. To finish the plugin, it would just need support for a conf file where you define which transponder:polarity:satellite & devices you want to limit them to. I assume this file would be read into a table stored in memory, and then referenced during a channel change for live tv or recording.
If Rnissl see's this, maybe he'll elaborate further.
