Scan EPG only on manually activated mux

Hi,

to sum up my setup I quote myself: https://tvheadend.org/boards/14/topics/6443?r=9462#message-9462
""my unsolved problem is similar to Donnos situation: "My satellite system is connected to a priority-switch, where my zbox/openelec will have the higher priority. Thus, if xbmc runs (without using live TV) other DVB-S devices can not be used to watch TV."

This means tvheadend must not activate the tuner without manually accessing it by xbmc."

I now switched to tvheadend git master and until the commits from
July 7th I could disable the automatic EPG scan using this patch:

After the latest EPG changes I am a bit unsure what to patch now.
Is disabling "epggrab_ota_post();" in src/epggrab.c, line 384, enough
or does it disable too much? Tvh shall only scan the transponder it
got manually tuned to for the time it is used by a connected client,
nothing else, no automatics, no crons.

I am also writing this in the hope tvh gets some kind of config
setting for this use case to make patching unnecessary sometime
in the future.

Hi,

answering myself: No, this did not fix the problem.

fixed the problem, although it is not a real fix.

My suggestion is to extend the if-clause in line 236

if (!strcmp(ota->om_mux_uuid, uuid))

with "&& (mn->mn_idlescan)" so the interrupted EPG scan is
only added to the queue when idle scanning is allowed.

Unfortunately my knowledge about the tvh internals is not
good enough to provide a patch, but I hope my suggestion
fits into the meaning of the idlescan setting.
