Following up my report lost in the announce thread.
vdr-1.3.15, with a budget card (skystar2) and a dxr3.
When the dish is moving the call
if (!HasLock(TUNER_LOCK_TIMEOUT)...
in cDevice::AttachReceiver is problematic since it's not enough time to reach the target satellite, causing an error (and displaying nothing once the position has been reached).
[...]
I commented out that call altogether and it seems to work fine for live tv but not for recordings:The second problem is "solved" by the attached patch (as long as the dish doesn't take more than 5 minutes to reach the target position). The proper solution would probably be to check that the dish is positioned, but I don't know how to do it inside of recorder.c (since cFileWriter doesn't know which device is sending it data).
- with the dish positioned on hotbird (13E) I scheduled a recording on astra 2 (28.2E). No problems with this recording (the satellite switch from 13E to 28.2E takes around 20 seconds)
- then I scheduled a recording on hispasat (30W) and this didn't work (since it takes a lot more time, almost 2 minutes):
