<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone has had some experience in
setting up a Vbox tuner in Australia using multirec, I would
be interested in how that was done.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m currently on 0.28 and have a Vbox,
which works OK for a single recording per tuner and I
understand I have to upgrade to 29 to use multirec.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, the Vbox setup is a bit different
to standard tuner cards and network devices such as HDHomerun.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is a bit puzzling is how Mythtv
scheduler knows which channels are on the same multiplex. It
would seem that information is not available from the tuner,
as would be the case for other cards.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Australia we have about 20 channels
shared across 5 multiplexes, so multirec needs to know whether
a potential recording is on the same multiplex and hence can
use the same tuner or not. This is different to the UK which
is what I can find for discussions on multirec and VBox. <o:p></o:p></p>

To use Vbox multirecord available from mythtv 29, you need to rescan
(using mythtv-setup) VBox channels, this will create the appropriate
data in the dtv_multiplex table of mythconverg database. The
required data is extracted from VBox data when channel scanning is
done (using a Vbox api call). The normal Vbox playback URLs do not
contain this data<br>
