Yes, multiple channels, but how can one record more than 100% of the time? This is on my 0.21-fixes which I was persuaded into installing after wrestling with the issue of ticket 5260.

Do you have more then one capture card?

[udo]

1 card with 7 virtual tuners defined.

[Rob Smith]

(In [17425]) Fixes #5262, this should fix the over 100% stats numbers

[udo]

Now you divide by the amount of tuners where I would expect the percentage to be for the whole box: the box records or doesn't. Be it 1 channel or more than one. It records. The amount of tuners doesn't really matter.

[Rob Smith]

That's what I did

[udo]

The amount of tuners doesn't really matter. (as I wrote) It records or it doesn't.

(making this configurable between on/off and per tuner is a step too far I guess)

[Rob Smith]

The queries to do per box (and it gets way more complicated when you have slave backends as well) is too complicated for the point of this module. It's just meaningless info that's fun, not something that has to be perfectly correct.

% of tuner usage is easy, % of box usage is not.

It's not worth my time to solve box usage (including slave backends), but feel free to submit a patch.

[udo]

In my case I have 7 virtual tuners for 3 channels: I can have some overlap for preroll/postroll and one tuner for whatever without conflicts. 3 channels are almost continuously recorded. So I get (300/7) % ?

[Rob Smith]

Yes

[sphery]

Fix the wiki-format misuse that was breaking formatting of the page. Just an annoyance.

So it is worse now. It is saying 38% instead of 100%.
