Description

i have 2 dvb-t cards. from the log, it seems EITScanner is working on both cards at the same time scanning the exact same channels and entering the same info into the db twice. this uses lots of cpu and seems like a waste.

Having some kind a smart channel scan that coordinated with other recorders would be nice. But since this is a feature request, and not a bug, I'm going to have to mark this as ticket as invalid. Reopen with patch...

After the changes in [7659] you can now stop the eitscanner from scanning on both cards.

Setup one of the cards to have a videosource of onairguide but turn off the checkbox that allows EIT updates.

The other card should have another videosource of onairguide but turn on the checkbox that allows EIT updates.

Yes, this means you define 2 different videosources, and it's not entirely obvious or intuitive, but it will at least achieve what you want. For now it's the only way to do it.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
