First channel I am having channel change problems too but that's a different post. Ideally if you provided a SwitchChannel() function instead of StopStream I'd be able to have faster changes

The attached patch should correct the behaviour where it tried to use a zero handle.

I cant easily change this type of thing, since I have pile of internal recording plugins which depend on the current interfaces and the way the they're called. I'll see what I can do though. I might be able support an optional interface like IRecorderSwitchStream.

That is better.

Ok, if you have time. Hopefully I am find some thing here that will make whurlston's Ceton tuner plugin better too. I may have to do something anyway because something is hanging NPVR on playback of back-to-back tuner plugin StartSteam changes, I don't know if this helps you see something wrong in NPVR

StartStream(6867:TVGCAN)
checking if previous capture source can be reused
checking if previous capture source can be reused
Stop Stream 1000
looking for capture source
checking: TestRecorder.TestRecorder
enabled and present
has channel
live tv is possible

It might be the graph tear down delay too I did try to fake the SwitchChannel on the StartStream and it seems to work, so maybe I will just defer the Stop for a couple of seconds and use the switch when appropriate.

I'll probably only be a week or so until I break compatibility with 2.1.5, as I add the DCR-2650 support, and at that time I can probably give you a pre-release with some sort of SwitchStream support.

Of course I can wait, but if it comes done to time I'd rather have a generic channels selection form (which is how I started this thread).

In the sample for GetStatus() you show the oid being returned. Is this required? As for as I can tell this is the only time I would need to go to the database.

Also for GetPresentDevices() I am trying to work with multiple devices. I don't understand how the capture_source name and plugin_class_name are build from the class list. Is there a way to avoid compiling and installing multiple plugins if I want to have different devices. I think deviceFilter and deviceString might help.

Thanks,

Just define a member variable called OID, then store it when LoadConfiguration is called. This method passes in the OID.

I may have to make a small change to get multiple devices working for you. This will probably need to be another thing you remind me about when we start pre-releases next week. Unfortunately you're first to use these new interfaces, so some of the things you're turning up are things I hadnt tried myself from my demo plugin and need some small changes to get them working in a real world scenario.

No problem, I understand completely. My scope changed the more I understood I could use the same tuner plugin to talk to multiple SageTV compatible devices.

Does it talk to SageDCT plugin? If so, might be of interest to Ceton device owners.

[mvallevand]

You must be a mind reader. Just last night pconstanza offered to test this and he installed and configured SageDCT and I gave him the plugin. I have patched his npvr.db3 and I await his results.
