<body class='hmmessage'>Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I have a problem with live tv in the multirec branch. I'm using a master backend server with two DVB-C cards in and have two frontend clients using the server. I have set the limit for simultaneous records for each card to 3. I have cleaned the cards away from my settings when I switched to the multirec and re-added them as recommended. The problem I have found it that when tuner 1 is recording one or more shows and I'm using tuner 2 for live tv and a new recording is starting that is on the same transponder as the live tv channel the live tv will freeze on the frontend. When I look on the mythweb status page I can still see that the live tv show is recorded on the backend in parallel with the new recording on the same transponder. If I exit live tv to main menu on the frontend and tries to start a new live tv session it refuses to display the video and I end up with a error. If I look in the frontend log I have lots of "prebuffer pause" errors. So it seems that the backend is still recording the live tv but the frontend will not get any data for the live tv.<BR>

Is the multirec code designed to be able to handle schedules of recordings on a tuner that is busy with live tv on the same transponder as the upcoming recording? If yes, this should not affect the live tv session since the card still allows 2 more recodings from the transponder and mythtv should be able to use another virtual tuner. When a scheduled recording is about to start on a transponder not equal to the one tuned in on tuner1 or tuner2 should mythfrontend rise a question on what I want to do (continue watching live tv or record the scheduled show). Which classes in the code is responsible for this decisions (give me a hint I can start looking at it)? Is this a backend problem or a frontend problem or maybe both frontend and backend problem?<BR>
