Have you ever wondered about just how stable your setup is when it comes to tuning channels, then this addition might just be for you.
Its a modded vers. of setupTV which should work with 1.2 alpha setups.
(Its already incl. in SVN for the next release)
Look for the new tab called "test channels".
The rest is self-explanatory-
but please do post your results.
currently Im running this FTA (no-CAM) test:
dvb-s2 hauppauge nova HD
dvb-s2 floppydtv
dvb-s skystar2
3 virtual users
each tune 500-2500 msec
tune delay:200
users share channels:checked
stats:
630 succeeded
19 failed (all no audio/video found)
1580 msec avg tuning time
When I do the same test for my cinergy 2400i dual dvb-t card (2 virtual users / other cards excluded from the test), then matters are different.
It crashes tvservice after around 20 tunings
I did manage to find another driver for it that doesnt crash, but instead I get TS stream corruption.
Pick your poison I guess.
Atleast this tool made me realize this problem.
It would be nice just to see how well cards behave with the tvserver.
Things that you can do to alter the outcome of the test:
1) use other device drivers
2) change network provider (tuning provider). see card details in setupTV.
3) use pausecard vs stopcard on card idle. see card details in setupTV.
the more virtual users you add, the more you will stress the tvserver.
