Bug #1380
Two identical adapters seen with identical name drive to adapter already in use in xbmc
0%
Description
I have two identical tuners in ubuntu pid&vid 048d:9006 (ite9135) tvheadend 3.2 shows both in configuration as "ite 9135(9006) generic_1". Both devices configured to use the same multiplexes. If i recors with one and want to switch channel the second one is in use by other subscription. When i used af9015 and only one ite9135 there were no problems. Maybe it is becouse both are seen with exactly the same name?
In log:
Nov 02 22:00:40 dvr: "Dance Chart" on "ESKA TV" starting at 2012-11-02 20:58:00, scheduled for recording by "xbmc"
Nov 02 22:00:40 dvr: "Dance Chart" on "ESKA TV" recorder starting
Nov 02 22:00:40 subscription: No transponder available for subscription "DVR: Dance Chart" to channel "ESKA TV"
Nov 02 22:00:40 dvr: Recording unable to start: "Dance Chart": Adapter in use by other subscription
The second adapter even that is seen as /dev/dvb/adapter1 (while currently recording is on /dev/dvb/adapter0) is inactive at all.

Updated by This is really weird. Few restarts and error was still active but .... i removed one of the tuners while TVHeadEnd was recording on another. Then plug it back and .... i have three same named tuners on the list but ... two of them (with links to /dev/dvb/adapter*) WORKS!
Hope the tuner manager will be available in 3.4. The tuner nameing mechanism is weird.

Plug in third adapter af9015 and now issue returned.
My /dev/dvb/ looks like:

All adapters joined to the same antena via http://images.dipol.com.pl/pict/r60104+.jpg and all got 100% SNR, copied the same muxes to all of them. Services found but it seems that multituner setup was broken in this release. While i record if i try to watch program from different mux i see in log:

You can delete. No channels were not mapped. I was sure that on the same mux channel mapping was copied with mux.

Closed as user reported this was human error in the config. Hopefully the updates in 3.4 (when I get around to them) will make this sort of thing easier to manage!
