[QUOTE="sjevtic, post: 856906, member: 118214"] Let's look at the mappings for a HD-PVR: [CODE] <crossbar> <name>Hauppauge HD PVR Crossbar</name> <videoOut>0</videoOut> <audioOut>1</audioOut> <videoPin type="10" index="0" related="4" /> <videoPin type="4" index="1" related="5" /> <videoPin type="1" index="2" related="5" /> <audioPin type="8" index="3" /> <audioPin type="5" index="4" /> <audioPin type="2" index="5" /> </crossbar> [/CODE] So, setting audioSource =8 maps to pin 3, which is in fact optical S/PDIF (TOSLink) on the HD-PVR. You can use the technique I mentioned earlier to set the pin just for channels mapped to the card ID corresponding to your HD-PVR device. Now, let's assume you are using component video and TOSLink audio on all of your Colossus and HD-PVR devices. You'll be fine with videoSource = 10 on both, but the Colossus needs audioSource = 9 while the HD-PVR needs audioSource=8. TV-Server can certainly handle this type of configuration with the channel linking feature--you'd basically have separate channel entities for channels coming from a tuner to a HD-PVR and channels coming from a tuner to a Colossus. If you are using two different TV providers, that might be reasonable, but if you have, say, three DirecTV boxes (two connected to a Colossus and one connected to a HD-PVR), that setup is less appealing. I'm certainly not saying you *should* do this, but I have a strong suspicion that you could add a line like this to your HD-PVR mappings and avoid the hassle of linked channels altogether, since both types of devices would now be able to use the same videoSource and audioSource values: [CODE] <audioPin type="9" index="3" /> [/CODE] I'm pretty sure you're not *supposed* to do things like this, but it might just be worth a few minutes trying for the convenience it could bring.
