Just noticed this in my settings, maybe this is why I don't have a problem ?

config.usage.timer_sanity_check_enabled=False

Which parts of the settings do you want as I'd rather not post all of it.

The problem reported here doesn't affect my HD51 with only 1 DVB-S2x (multistream) capable tuner either with oe-a vix on one partition or RC 6.0 on another.

I am able to instant record a MS channel on 5w and then switch to BBC1 on 28.2e and also instant record that without any errors.

Thanx!

I see, os calls leading to forking and needing loads of RAM...

 

My problem, however: you really shouldn't name the image "Multiboot", guys...

 

Otherwise I would have installed an image which has the multiboot manager etc. Now I have to see what, if anything I can do... I.e. I shall try installing another image and hope it will be over the second partition, where OpenPLi is... I'll report back when I do it.

 

P.S. Indeed, I did install OpenATV first and then OpenPLi - but I can not get out of OpenPLi now, naturally...

You should install and try 'Automatic Full Backup 5.6 by Dima73 ,  it has full support for totally managing multiboot on my HD51,  the Zgemma H7S was added recently with 5.6 https://github.com/D...14cc37053b2a141 .  On my HD51 it's all I need for full management of images including adding the 'Multiboot switcher' to the start menu.

Not necessarily to do with the tuners but there is a difference between the SF4008 and the HD51 when it comes to multi-stream, the latter does not support internal stream-relay (yet?) so it's not possible to open packages like Zeonbud on  4.8 east but on the other hand the HD51 does have support in the drivers for PV without stream-relay, so you pay your money and take your choice.
