Nice.

 

I have started a list of patches we can include whenever we've branched Enigma for (stable) OpenPLi-4, which is going to be quite soon, because I've got a few other things that need to be merged as well. It's on the list!

Do you trust DVB API?

If yes then you do not afraid of the following patch.

Report failures (eg multitype DVB-C/T tuner now not reported as multitype with above patch) ;)

What is the purpose of this? Just to show faulty DVB API?

To remove types reported from nim_sockets that do not match the DVB supported ones.

Eg nim_sockets says DTMB and DVB-T. Now we keep DTMB because that else is missing...

I see there is some improvement going on for Satfinder.

I guess it is still too difficult to enable Satfinder for Tuner B if it is set to "second cable of a motorized dish"?

Is that somehow related to this commit?

Question is, why would you want to? What is the logic?

I know you consider it a crippled setup but I am not the only one with it: motorized system with a twin LNB.

If Tuner A is busy with recording I cannot do a channel search or even check signal quality with tuner B.

I would assume tuner B should be free for it and I should be able to use any tuner to check signal quality.

By the way, I use an attenuator on Tuner A and no attenuator on Tuner B so it would be perfect to be able to compare signals between both tuners.

No. If tuner A is in use it is impossible to getfrontend on tuner B in Python in this configuration.

And this is what bothers me.

I realize the limitation is somewhere deep in Enigma and that is why plugins such as Satfinder are unable to use tuner B in this setup. Such limitation should not be there, it is unnecessary.

With more tuner types and systems getting new support, don't you think it's also time to re-consider a name change for the Satfinder as well? It's been some time since it's not used only for dish alignments and satellite signal monitoring!

Name changed ages ago in OpenViX.

And even that name is incorrect (for multituner). Then rename it transponder finder.... Or signal finder....

I think the most accurate name would be Signal Monitoring, cause this is mainly what it does tbh! Now if someone wants to use this as a satfinder, or signal finder or dish helper it's up to them! Yes, signal finder is a bit of a stretch.... :)

Yes I guess you're right, it does MONITOR the signal, it doesn't FIND it. Not the nicest name though.

Signal Information (signalinfo) sounds more legit, indeed!

Or 'TransponderInformation': it shows all details of a transponder and is even able to scan it.
