[mythtv-users] Announce: 0.21-fixes with vdpau ubuntu repository

[Clay]

Is this the official feedback thread for your build?

If so, I'd like to report running three instances of mythbackend, as two different users, on a slave backend doesn't work so well... They really don't like to share tuners and stuff at all, and really hammer the hard drive.

Just kidding!

Really though, I was trying to figure out why the hard drive activity light was flashing three beats a second nonstop.
Somehow I managed to get mythbackend running as mythtv and also the current user at the same time. Killed them all off and launched one, hard drive is quiet now.

Different subject: recording multiple streams on the same multiplex.

I have noticed adding single records on the same multiplex will stop a scheduled recording, that's currently being recorded, in order to accommodate an added single record.
I have an Aver A180 (#1) and Kworld ATSC115 (#2), each set to record 3 streams. Talladega was recording on the A180 and I went in and added two more recording streams. I also added what I thought should record on the ATSC115 but Myth ended the Talladega recording and started the new one on the A180.
Is this the expected behavior?

I'm sorting out channels on the ATSC115 and the only way I've found to stop Myth from using the A180 (or PVR-150s) when I select a channel the 115 can't tune is get all the other cards busy recording.
