Recording Source Priority

[mobiusnz]

I'm getting some oddities with Recording Sources - I'm running a Nova-T-500 and an PVR500. I've set the recording sources to list the 2 nova-T sources first and then the two analogue sources but it SEEMS to be a little random - IE when doing some testing I went to the guide to the current time and did quick record on the current timeslots and channel 1 through 4 and got TV 1 analogue but this doesn't seem to be consistent. If I use SQLite DB Browser and look at the Table? Capture Source it lists

1 MCE500a
2 MCE500b
3 MCE500rca (this is the RCA input of one of the 500's I use for UHF Sky Decoder)
4 NovaT500a
5 NovaT500b

But the allocation order is 3,4,5,1,2 from the top (IE the Nova-T-500's are 1 and 2) so with Multirecord switched on I should VERY rarely be seeing an Analogue recording but America's top Model on TV3 friday nights seems to be analogue nearly everytime when at most I might occaisionally be recording 3 recordings at this time. Do re-occuring recordings try to grab the same device used at the first recording or will a device be allocated each time based on availability from the top down??? Also one thing to note SUB is that I do have "<PreferAlternatingCaptureSources>" set to true as the main reason I want so many recording sources is to always honour the 5 minute overlaps.

Any help with the logic here would be greatly appreciated.

I probably have to see the log that covered these recordings being created to tell you why they were allocated as they were. Unfortunately you probably dont have that any more. ie for season recordings, this would have been the first day these new shows appeared in the xmltv file.
