At least here with fallback tuner and remot stream convert a stream is interrupted for a recording....

Your are right with OpenATV und streaming aborting.

I see on git-hub OpenATV some switches for aborting things when claiming tuners for recordings (aborting PIP, aborts fo streams) . There  are  many codeline inside some sourcefiles to handle this (RecordingConfig.py, RecordTimer.py and some core files. They have added a Recordtype to have the information later which one can abortet or nit.

 

But I love on the other side openpli, alle 3 boxes run openpli and actually I don´t want to switch to OpenATV, because then I will start vom scratch with all 3 boxes

 

I think  about an easierer way for streaming abort. Do you think is it possible to start a streaming as a playservice (like watching TV) instead of a recordservice. I think playservices are abortable

As far I know this is not a topic at all.... here streams are stopped by recordings....

[anudanan]

I´ve tested it with two et9200 and openpli 4.0 from end of december 2015

 

I´ve programmed 2 timers  with 2 minutes space between starttime in the first box,   then stream from the other box one channel from the first box. Then frist timer starts and works. when the second timer starts the  first  box will switch the channel but can´t do it because the streams blocks it.

 

How do you have tested it?

How do you stream....?

from the other et9200 with a bouquet, which i have importet list Partnerbox. I think remotechannelstreamconverter makes the same because the resulting boquetfiles are similar under /etc/enigma2. The go over http://ip:8001/......

What do you think about a solution to stop streaming when timers need the tuners

[anudanan]

I think about the config parameter

 

Recordings always have priority

 

In the setup menu

If this parameter was set to yes, then it is logical that a timer must abort a stream if the timer claims a new tuner

 

Is that a right statement?

[anudanan]

Do you have in the PLI team plans to implement in the future the function for aborting streams if timer claims a tuner and noone is free?

[WanWizard]

Technically, a stream is the same as a recording, only the destination of the datastream differs. Such a feature is not being discussed at the moment.

[anudanan]

But from the user view a stream from a remote receiver has often the same priority as a live tv channel. Normally enigma switches the live TV to the channel for the claiming timer if no free tuner is available. 

 

With no stream abort the timer conflict management of enigma has no chance to work successfully and the result ist, some movies where not recorde. So when a user has mixes situations with timers on all boxes and remote streams from the other box if the local tuner are busy, the timer programming is not secure

[WanWizard]

I know that, but unfortunately code doesn't work with "a users perception" of how things work.

 

It means a datastructure needs to be added to record what datastream is going to where, i.e. what the type is, it needs a mechanism to move this datastructure around, and to query it, it needs additional config settings to handle the additional options, and it needs code to deal with all that. We've already been looking at the option to be able to simply list all the streams that are running in a GUI panel, and in itself is already quite complicated.

 

So although it looks very simple from the outside, reality is very different. For complex issues such as this, you really need a developer that sees the added benefit of this feature, so he's willing to spend a lot of his spare time working on this feature. Not sure there is a developer present that is willing to give this a high priority, but who knows, they can all read your request...

[Erik Slagter]

+ that "normal users" will rarely have this situation.

[anudanan]

I Unterstand

 

One idea around that. Do you have informations inside the actual datastructures to see if a recording from a tuner  writes to a normal file or file over samba (NAS share) for normal movies or writes so the tcp stream for remote streaming, If yes  you  can make the decision based on the filenamestructur to see if it is a normal runer recording to a file or a streaming job

 

I don´t know if it work but that is my idea
