Thanks misterd for your work!
Thanks misterd for your work!
Thank you MisterD! I'll give this a test - time to dust off the compiler!
I'll feedback my results to this thread...

I just finished compiling MisterD's modifications, and the results for me were a definite improvement, although there does still seem to be some smaller issues (I'm continuing to test)...
It seems that you must perform the channel scan before grouping the cards, otherwise they will all be assigned to the first tuner. When grouping after scanning, the chnnels are assigned correctly.
Changing channels between different tuners seems to work well - however I've noticed occasional failures to change to channels on the same tuner after a previous switch from the other tuner, eg DVB-S->DVB-T->DVB-T
I'll continue testing - Thanks MisterD, this is a definite improvement!
thumer - I'm not sure if posting a compiled version with modifications is 'good form' here? It's real easy to compile yourself - there's instructions in the wiki and you can get a trial version of Visual Studio from Microsoft's web site...
Cheers,
Chris

It it good to here that it's working for at least another person. I know that this patch isn't perfect. My patch only adds additional checks and conditions in the TVServer to avoid the occuring exceptions. It is very complicated to find all these exceptions in the algorithm.
IMHO the whole handling of hybrid cards should be changed. The reason is that the TVServer still handles all parts of a hybrid card as a single tv card. This makes the whole handling of the different streams etc. very complicated. I think it would be better when the TVServer handles a hybrid card as a single virtual card and than decides which part of the card has to be used. But this has to be changed in the core of the TVServer and I don't know if there are any side-effects.

thanks misterd, the problem has solution, tep by step . Fantastic notice .
misterd,
thanks a lot for the patch. I will download it and compile the source.
Just two more questions:
1) Did you try with SVN 16310 or it's now committed ?
2) Have you managed to have working the analog part ? I scan channels but nothing is found...
Thanks again for your work.
