Multiple channels/recordings with Mediaportal PVR?
#1
I'm trying for instance to make a recording and see another channel but I'm limited to one at a time.
I have 2 x HDHomerun and wants multiple Kodi clients runnings different channels. I have configured to use streaming method ffmpeg in PVR client to get it to work with madVR.
What can I change in TV server configuration to allow multiple streams?

Even with one TV card, I can watch two different DVB channels on different Kodi clients (when both are on the same frequency) so as far as I know, it should just work.
However, if you need a CAM for decryption, you might need to increase the CAM limit setting for you TV card to allow decoding of more than one channel.
If you have done a channel scan on both cards, MediaPortal normally sees that it can tune the same channel on different cards and will just select the first "free" TV card.
I'm doing the same here with two DVB-T USB sticks.

Choice between ffmpeg and TS reader should not matter.

Thanks for your answer. I have only scanned channels with one card so what you are saying it that I should scan all channels again with each card for it to work or can I do something else?

Hi again. I got it working now by scanning all tuners. That wasn't nessesary in DVBViewer, so a learning curve for me.

One more question. I can't get teletext working with mediaportal. Do you have a solution for this?

It's not nessesary to scan with all tuners but to map the channels to each tuner: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIA.../2_Mapping

Teletext is working after activation in Kodi Settings - Videos - Playback: http://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Videos#Playback

The teletext is not working for me. Have it enabled in the playback menu..
I'm using the DSplayer version, but the pvr addon I have ffmpeg.
Any idea why it is not working?

Because of ffmpeg? I'm using tsreader and it's fine there.
