Change log

Version 1
Added CancelTune to tve3 in order to cancel any blocking tune request (like done from EPGgrabber) - this should fix the bugs where tuning TV would in some circumstances end up with no card res.
card priority system also impl. each user has a priority. if the card res. logic finds a card in the tuning state, then it will cancel the blocking tune request if prio is lower than the current users prio.

Fixed : CardAllocation ChannelMapping logic issue.

Can you provide a patched version for using with my current 1.2.3 installation? Otherwise i can't test this fix because i need the current installtation working.

Well, this one should be working, and the whole point of this area is to test if it does.

I guess the changes are to a number of binaries, and then you will run into problems with version number checks. It probably won't be possible to replace a couple of binaries and generate any valid test data.

Exactly, you can use separate installer to upgrade your version (this one is based on 1.2.3 + cardres).
Thanks.

@sebastii

Is the code in this purely card reservation?
I mean is there a new database structure? or any other changes?
I ask because I have seen another thread similar and there is a move to a new logging framework and database. I would like to test this and help out.

Hi DJBlu

Normally it's the same DB, i use it for while now and like i rescan my db lol i'm not 100% sure now (but testing 1.2.3 on the same db work so i assume it's ok)

I can gladly test, but I would really love if someone could share a compiled installer

(alternatively point me to the installer if I am missing it!)
