If set value to "2" is it work correct?

Hi,

Strange thing: If I set it to 2, I can only record 2 services at the same time (on same mux).

So, why doesnt it work if I set it to 3? :(

I'm sorry, I should clarify more.

If I set the limit to 2, I can ofcourse record 2 channels at the same time. The 3rd fails.

But tvheadend doesn't switch to the secondary tuner because it thinks all channels of 1 mux should be recorded on a single tuner.

I think the problem is similar to my other remarks in #4933

https://tvheadend.org/issues/4933#change-27363

Hardware CAM can decode only from one tuner in same time
Only PRO devices can and have software for more.

Yes, I know. But I have 2 TT-4650 tuners with 2 CI modules. One placed in each.

Currently there doesn't seem to be a solution for this problem. The "service limit" for a cam works. If you tune for a 4th recording from another much, it will work.

It's a bit dup of #4933 . The only way to handle this is to create two networks and assign tuners separately to those networks and map services from both networks to one channel.

EDIT: Until #4933 is resolved (absolutely no ETA).

Dear Jaroslav, I understand it.

But am I missing the point here? Why is there such a setting to limit the services on a CAM if there is no fallback plan to what is supposed to happen when this limit is exceeded?
From a DVR view or from a HTSP or RTSP view, the problem remains the same.

Or is this setting here for another reason?

You can let tvh to select quickly another service - see my previous comment for the workaround for DVBAPI sources (two networks). Also there might be different scenarios (like DVB-S primary, DVB-T or IPTV fallback etc.).
