Hi,
I've just upgraded from vdr-1.3.24+vdr-0.7.2 to vdr-1.3.24+vdr-0.7.2. And I've discovered vdr is now using my budget card (card #2) for live tv while it was using the ff one (card #1) before.
PrimaryDVB = 3 xine.autoPrimaryDeviceMode = autoPrimaryDeviceOff
I don't use the FF output at all, but I'd prefer to have the FF card used for live TV. Is there something I missed ? is there a setting for that ? (iirc, a change concerning the fact vdr prefers budget cards to record has been made in vdr but i'm not sure it's really related)
Ideally I'd love that to be configurable on a channel basis. For ex in channels.conf, having the CA field set to '1,2,realCA' would make vdr prefer card #1 for live watching. (or to record)
hmm but atm that's not really the point, I would prefer to make vdr+xine use the FF card for live watching. (and the budget to record).
Any advice ? TIA

Isn't this a NOP ;-)

I think, finding a device as source for transfer mode respectively recording is handled identically. So the change in 1.3.24 hits you ;-)

I don't understand your setup. When you do not make use of your FF card's output, why is it then necessary to prefer it over the budget card?
Bye.

In that case why was it using the ff card by default with xine-0.7.2 ? I'll do more test later tomorrow. (to see if it's associated with the fact the card is a FF one or the fact it's card #1) I'll also try to revert the changes.
Cheers.

in fact you're right. I've modified the check so that it set pri to 2 if Priority is also greater than 0. I assume most plugins call cDevice::GetDevice with Priority=0 and records default to 50. Records with Priority==0 won't be recorded by budget cards by default.
I'm pretty sure a cleaner solution exists.
