Since 16/3 PLiExtraInfo also shows info from the fallback tuner. That is really an improvement.

Would it also be possible to show the SNR/AGC-info of the tuner?

I have been thinking about for a long time, not only for fallback tuner, but for every streamed service (there is no difference, actually). It's a bit tricky to implement because the receiver expects a stream of http data that consists solely of an mpeg transport stream. One way to supply the tuner information would be to add a custom http header, but then the information would be static/one shot. To supply dynamic reception information, it would need to be interleaved into the stream and remain compatible. Three possibilities:

 

- remultiplex the transport stream and insert a dummy pid with the info, best option but horrific to implement

- switch to chunked http/1.1 transfer and add custom http headers on each chunk, quite compatible, but I doubt enigma itself will handle the chunked transfer

- use ip out-of-band data, simple to insert, a bit tricky to extract but doable; clients that are not aware, will never see the extra data

 

If anyone has simpeler solutions please yell.
