Limit HW PID filters in TVheadend

Added by Dennis K about 8 years ago

I'm using a Sundtek MediaTV Pro III ([[http://sundtek.com/shop/Digital-TV-Sticks-oxid/Sundtek-MediaTV-Pro-DVB-C/T/T2-FM-Radio-AnalogTV.html]]) with TVheadend (master) on a Raspberry Pi 3. The device has 15 HW PID filters in total but, it seems that TVheadend uses all of them, when I tune to one channel. When all 15 HW PID filters are used and still another one is requested the Sundtek driver disables hardware PID filtering. With HW PID filtering I experience way better streaming quality without stuttering and stalls. Is it somehow possible to limit the amount of usable PID filters in TVheadend? If not, could that be implemented? VDR ([[http://www.tvdr.de/]]) for example allocates fewer PIDs and HW PID filtering is not disabled. Following [[http://forum.dvblogic.com/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=26731&p=85878&sid=7dac5783dfba92c0ab7703062d15c7b2]] DVBServer seems to act the same as TVheadend as opposed to VDR.

If you need further information, please ask.

Just want to ask again, if anybody has the same problem. Or should I create a ticket in the bug tracker?
Thanks

This sounds similar to #4050 - please add a comment.
