Multiple tuners


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I've just started to try out the new Recording Service and must thank you for bringing such a good feature to DVBViewer. It works like a charm while using my FireDTV tuner on the server and DVBViewer on the client in the livingroom :bounce:

 

Now im thinking about to add 2 tuners so that I get a total of 3 tuners on my server. The thing is that I only got one card from my provider. This means that 2 of the tuners doesn't have their own card (in my opinion they shouldn't need more then one card).

 

How can I build my solution so that 3 tuners can share 1 card? Is it even possible?

 

Cheers

No, it is not possible to send data from the DVBViewer to the CAM.

What about this

•New: USB CI (Hauppauge/Terratec) support completely rewritten: does work now with every DVB device. Thanks @Terratec for their support.

Activate it in the hardware options by first selecting the DVB device and then the external CI.

 

This sounds like something I could use, a external CI?

Yes you can, but is it bound to one device. Event if you could assign it dynamically to other devices only one device can use it at a time.

Would it be a possibilty to make the external CI shared over a few tuners and then let them use it one at a time?

Or maybe you could use some kind of plugin to do that, does the Recording Service support the same plugins as DVBViewer does?

Okey, I tried that method but nothing happens with the plugin so I expect that it doesn't work. Is it possible to see some more info in the logfile instead of just

Would be nice to see if the plugin didn't work and all the plugins that got loaded successfully etc.

 

Also, is there any plans to support multiple tuners with one CI module?
