I don't wish to be a wet blanket, but I still think that the design of this proposed change is wrong:

(1) "Retain strongest duplicate" should not need to use a signal threshhold. If you are using a signal threshhold, then you have the wrong design. The right design is to compare the signal levels of the two MUXes so that you can discard the weaker. (You also need a setting to enable or disable this feature.)

(2) "Omit weak MUXes" does use a signal level threshhold, but it should be speciable by the user, and it should not eliminate duplicates.

See my earlier post in this thread.

Although this is true in principle, "TV Server" is changing very little (if at all) from one release to the next. So if [USER=143065]@vapourEyes[/USER] 's modified DLL(s) won't work as is, a simple recompile should be all that is needed (not complicated remerging of his changes with changes originating from others). But you probably know more about this than I do.

[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1270923, member: 141969"] I don't wish to be a wet blanket, but I still think that the design of this proposed change is wrong: (1) "Retain strongest duplicate" should not need to use a signal threshhold. If you are using a signal threshhold, then you have the wrong design. The right design is to compare the signal levels of the two MUXes so that you can discard the weaker. (You also need a setting to enable or disable this feature.) (2) "Omit weak MUXes" does use a signal level threshhold, but it should be speciable by the user, [i] and it should not eliminate duplicates[/i]. See [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/automatically-tune-to-strongest-duplicate-channel.139813/post-1270427']my earlier post[/URL] in this thread. Although this is true in principle, "TV Server" is changing very little (if at all) from one release to the next. So if [USER=143065]@vapourEyes[/USER] 's modified DLL(s) won't work as is, a simple recompile should be all that is needed (not complicated remerging of his changes with changes originating from others).
