Hi All,
I’m testing out MP after many years with DVBLogic as a backend. I am amazed at channel switch speed and everything I need seems well documented and all in one application. Thank you all. I however am struggling with ‘Channel Combinations.’
I have set x2 DVBIP tuners. On each I have loaded an M3u lists. There are some duplicates between them. Here I then am using ‘TV Combinations’ to in effect do the same as I did with DVBlogic’s ‘Channel Merge’.
I read in the wiki that the desired outcome should be if one client is watching a channel and another tries to tune to the same, it will use the next available tuner, leaving the existing tuner alone playing or recoding whatever it was. However in my case it does not do this and instead stops the playback on one client and starts it on the other, seemingly using only one tuner form the merged tuners. This is not the desired outcome of course and it is desired that it would see that one of the two tuners in the combination is in use and as such use the ‘free’ one, the tuner not in use.
Both streams tuners play fine simultaneously if channels are not merged (TV Combination added) but then you have the same channel listed twice in the channel guide, which is what I want to avoid.
Any ideas? I must be missing something right?
