Card priority overrides same transponder when timeshifting. (1 Viewer)

[SciDoctor]

Log below. SVN 17179.

Timeshifting logic should have chosen card 5 as this was the same transponder but chose card 6 which was the highest priorty and free. The knock on effect was that two cards were locked to ONE transponder and that meant future recordings and channel availability on other transponders failed or were not available.

I had concurrrent recordings across three tansponders after this.

I'll test again tomorrow and post a full set of logs

[SciDoctor]

Here is the final result as you can see one transponder is now locked to two cards tuner and another transponder is locked to a third.

The schedule lauching (correctly) stops the timeshifting to force a card free as another transponder is needed. If the timeshifting had been a running schedule the this new schedule would have failed (I have seen this but don't have the logs to post)

Still a problem. SVN 17305

Timeshifting has caused two tuners to be locked to one transponder
