have a 3 raspberry pi in my house and some times I need more than 3 mux for recording.
Is it possible to use a second tvheadend server? And input then via iptv or something?
usb hubs do not work, to mutch emc
Mmm, I don't know a way of using a stream from tvheadend as an input for tvheadend, interesting idea.
... and some times I need more than 3 mux for recording.
However: This will not give you more muxes for recording:
The actual amount of muxes you can record is limited to the physical tuners you have.
The main tvheadend server can record all the programs in the same mux, so there is ( i think) no advantage to be gained by sending it to another tvheadend-instance.
So, if you have a dual tuner, you can decode two muxes at the same time, but you can watch ( and i assume record) all channels in those two muxes.
Only limiting factor might be the power of the raspberry pi: It might not like you recording all programs to some USB disk ( or its memory card :-) )

my pi is not even using the sd card. i am using nfsroot, so all the data of the sd card is on my other server. Power is not a issue if needend i can use a Psu of a computer
But streaming/forwarding van one tvheadend to a other wil be a great futere
