(In [8113]) Close #741 by applying a slightly modified patch by jochen. Allows you to give videosources a friendly display name which is shown on a source change in live TV eg. by pressing Y or C.

This isn't going to work. Currently the dispaly shows cardid:inputname . The ticket refers to "videosources" tho that's not what's in in the patch.

mysql> select cardinputid, cardid, inputname, videosource.name from
cardinput join videosource on cardinput.sourceid = videosource.sourceid where cardid=2 or cardid=3 order by cardid;
+-------------+--------+------------+--------------+
| cardinputid | cardid | inputname  | name         |
+-------------+--------+------------+--------------+
|           2 |      2 | Television | CoxCableDD   |
|           7 |      2 | Composite1 | VCR          |
|           5 |      3 | S-Video 0  | CoxDigitalDD |
|           6 |      3 | Tuner 0    | CoxCableDD   |
+-------------+--------+------------+--------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

A capturecard.displayname wouldn't distinguish card 2s "Television" or "Composite1" input nor 3s "S-Video 0" or "Tuner 0" and none of it defines if the source is "CoxCableDD", "CoxDigitalDD" or "VCR".

I could see using ca name for the card in place of the number but it still has to say which input on the card. I could see using the videosource.name in place of the inputname but there have to be two pieces of information on the display; one to which card is active and one to say which set of channels to expect.

Or, at the very least, put displayname in the card input table so the user could name individual inputs.

(In [8114]) Close #741

Move the displayname field from capturecard to cardinput so that each individual input can be given a user defined string. The display name can be set in mythtv-setup "Input connections" for each input. If this is not set for an input, the default <card>: <inputname> will still be used.
