I appreciate the patch and it is a great start! I just tested it out and
it seems to work in general but I think there could be some improvement
here.
I started a recording with mythtv and it absolutely locked the resource to
the MythTV IP address for Tuner 0 on my HDHR Prime. Then I started up the
HDHomeViewer on my Windows box and it locked Tuner 1 to it's IP address
without issues and Tuner 0 was still recording perfectly fine. Now here is
the problem I encountered... When I tried to record another show at the
same time with mythtv it seems that it tried to grab Tuner 1 since it was
next in line in it's mind and saw the resource lock. The system errored
out and the recording failed to try again on another tuner available. I
have two HDHR Primes so I have a total of 6 tuners and I know it had 4
more free tuners during my test.
Ideally mythtv should attempt to lock a tuner, if the lock fails go onto
the next free tuner in the list and attempt to lock it until it finds a
viable tuner or all of them are identified as locked.
