Hi, I'm playing around with 1.5.0 Initialy I wasn't able to tune to any channel. Even for FTA vdr kept saying "not available". It took me nearly an hour to find the reason for that: I had set PrimaryLimit=20 I have this setting since ages, but cannot say why anymore.
I found that vdr runs with PrimaryLimit=0 only.
So my question is: what is the meaning of PrimaryLimit if there is exactly one setting which makes vdr operable?
FYI: I think the change is in cDevice::SetChannel(), line 674. In the GetDevice() call the priority was Setup.PrimaryLimit, now is 0.
Regards.

The (at least original) meaning is to prevent a recording with the Primary Device, in a multi card setup, with a too low priority.
At least when i proposed that option many years ago a recording on the primary Device effectively prevented live-viewing, even in a multi-card setup. So with this option it could be made sure that a low priority recording would be recorded with a secondary card, or not at all.
AFAICT that isn't a problem anymore, because of Transfer Mode. But i personally only have multiple single-card systems so i can't check it. (And i haven't looked anything "live" for years)
So my guess would be that this option can be erased.
Bis denn

Actually the PrimaryLimit is about to be removed completely.
