Bug #2147
Idle scan muxes not so idle
0%
Description
I was looking forward to get the new idle scan muxes code, but when I tested it, it does not seem to be as "idle" as it should be. I have 4 inputs to my DVD-S2 card, only two enabled (missing cables). I often get the lost (there is a cuple of hours between) connection message in xbmc, and when I open the web interface I can see that tvheadend just scheduled a scan of a mux. After about 10s xbmc will reconnect and continue to show the channel I was watching. When I turn of the idle scan muxes feature, this behavior disappear. So my fast conclusion is that tvheadend schedules mux scans even on inputs that are busy with another client. Am I missing something with the new feature, is there some setup I have set correctly?

Well if pvr.hts has gone mad (well known issue) and dropped the connection and thus the subscription to the tuner, then it seems perfectly reasonable that the idle scanner would kick in. As soon as pvr.hts reconnects it requests tuning with higher prio and the idle scanner will be dropped.
