Automatically Tune to Strongest Duplicate Channel (2 Viewers)

[ajs]

@framug we have in code this block: MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1

        int level = _currentCard.SignalLevel;
        if (level < 0) level = 0;
        if (level > 100) level = 100;
        progressBarLevel.Value = level;

Maybe the signal level should always be normalized? And in the GUI, as far as I remember, it is always displayed within 0..100.

- MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1

progressBarLevel.Value = Math.Min(100, RemoteControl.Instance.SignalLevel(_cardNumber));

Well, I know that, it's because, negative values for signal where not accepted in the past.

Abs

        int level = Abs(_currentCard.SignalLevel);
        progressBarLevel.Value = level;

???

Thanks for the direction @ajs.
I need some time....

              int level = RemoteControl.Instance.SignalLevel(_cardNumber);
              progressBarLevel.Value = Math.Abs(level);

              exists = true;
              dbChannel = null;

              int tuningOverallThreshold = 35;

              int level = RemoteControl.Instance.SignalLevel(_cardNumber);
              progressBarLevel.Value = Math.Abs(level);

              // Normalise
              if (level < 0) level = 0;
              if (level > 100) level = 100;

              // Filter weaker channels...
              if (!( Math.Abs(RemoteControl.Instance.SignalLevel(_cardNumber)) > tuningOverallThreshold && RemoteControl.Instance.SignalQuality(_cardNumber) > tuningOverallThreshold)) {
                continue;
              }

              // Darwinian channel natural selection...
              if (RemoteControl.Instance.SignalLevel(_cardNumber) > 0)
                if (Math.Abs(RemoteControl.Instance.SignalLevel(_cardNumber)) >= tuningOverallThreshold && Math.Abs(RemoteControl.Instance.SignalQuality(_cardNumber)) >= tuningOverallThreshold)
                {
                  // add new strong channel
                  dbChannel = layer.AddNewChannel(channel.Name, channel.LogicalChannelNumber);
                }
                else
                {
                  dbChannel = currentDetail.ReferencedChannel();
                }
            }

A crude approximation without per-channel and overall level storage. Which wont work anyways logically coz you need a start point that then acts as a limiter in any comparitor... ???

You'd have to constantly reset and revise all stored levels, adjusting as the next highest level enters the system.

I've also introduced weak-channel ignore too, since under testing here a weak channel crept in under the radar.... don't worry - we'll show some mercy.

Well, if you continue, you will modify all classes I already modified for others things, LOL !
Also, when you post, the name of the class could be interesting, for others.
An advice : Wait a bit for an answer, don't be impatient.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you will work for nothing...
But, it's up to you.

Waiting....

I do not use the TV part, because I do not have a satellite, etc., there is only IPTV, but the Media Portal does not support it.
