sat->ip NextPVR only recognizes one tune

[klayer]

I have a Grundig GSS Sat->Ip tuner which is immediately recognized by NextPVR.
I can record and watch TV. Unfortunately only one tuner can used allthough the Grundig GSS has 4 tuners.

Is this a principal limitation?
Any workaround known?

I don't have any experience with this Grundig Sat>IP server. You can certainly use multiple tuners on other Sat>IP devices though.

Does the device appear multiple times on the Settings->Devices screen? It should, once for each tuner, and they should all be set up.

Telestar Digibit R1
Grundig Gss 400
Inverto IDL 400

are all the same device

No I does not. Only one tuner shows up.

thats right Klayer NPvr create only one instance for each satip device

the reason can be that the capabilities field from the device description are not readed
or isnt avaible if not avaible then should only one instance created

@Sub

here an Example of read the capabilities Field from the device Description

Code:

var capabilitiesElement = deviceElement.Element(n1 + "X_SATIPCAP");
                        if (capabilitiesElement != null)
                        {
                            _capabilities = capabilitiesElement.Value;
                            if (capabilitiesElement.Value.Contains(','))
                            {
                                string[] capabilities = capabilitiesElement.Value.Split(',');
                                foreach (var capability in capabilities)
                                {
                                    ReadCapability(capability);
                                }
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                ReadCapability(capabilitiesElement.Value);
                            }
                        }
                        else
                        {
                           _supportsDVBS = true;
                           //ToDo Create only one Digital Recorder / Capture Instance here
                        }

Code:

private void ReadCapability(string capability)
        {
            
                string[] cap = capability.Split('-');
                switch (cap[0].ToLower())
                {
                    case "dvbs":
                    case "dvbs2":
                        {
                           // Optional that you know what an device Supports can you add an flag
                            _supportsDVBS = true;
                            
                            for(int i =0;i<int.Parse(cap[1]);i++)
                            {
                                //ToDo Create Digital Recorder / Capture Instance here
                            }
                            
                            break;
                        }
                    case "dvbc":
                    case "dvbc2":
                        {
                            // Optional that you know what an device Supports can you add an flag
                            _supportsDVBC = true;
                          
                            for (int i = 0; i < int.Parse(cap[1]); i++)
                            {
                               //ToDo Create Digital Recorder / Capture Instance here
                            }
                            
                            break;
                        }
                    case "dvbt":
                    case "dvbt2":
                        {
                           // Optional that you know what an device Supports can you add an flag
                            _supportsDVBT = true;
                            
                            
                            for (int i = 0; i < int.Parse(cap[1]); i++)
                            {
                                //ToDo Create Digital Recorder / Capture Instance here

                            }
                            
                            break;
                        }
                }
            
        }

@Kay
Ok. I am seeing some code.

Can I do anything to resolve the problem?

[KayDiefenthal]

dont know how good you understand code and how good you in decompile an patching software are
the code is for @Sub as reference to fix the Problem ,he had it seen

[klayer]

I have no idea about the code and a patch software.
This is too complicated.

[sub]

I'm looking into, and have more of an idea of what is happening. With any luck there will be a fix in the next release.

Great and thanks!
