Feature #1232
closed
dynamic dvb device management
100%
Description
Please add dynamic device handling for tvheadend.
Tvheadend should be able to handle added/removed devices at runtime.
When the dvb device is removed from usb (power off) and tvheadend tries to access it, tvheadend is crashing.
When no device is available maybe some static image could be streamed with a message "no device free/available at the moment".
Reason for this request: My dvb-s2 tuner needs about 6W when in "power safe state". I dont want to restart tvheadend on the server everytime i power off/on the dvb-s2 device.

There is a possibility that the DVB infrastructure will get an update in 3.3. But this won't happen now as we're entering a freeze for 3.2.

Hi,
just to let you know I'd also be very interested by this feature.
This is the equivalent feature I'm using with vdr: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-dynamite/repository/revisions/master/entry/README
I have a grumpy dvb-s ff card which driver(firmware) needs reloading quite often...

I'm currently working on this. See feature/udev branch, its still very much WIP and but I'll be doing some updates in the new year when I finish holidays.

We now have dynamic tuner management, though not sure it fully solves all the problems here?
