[Bug 538641] Re: Recording priority is broken

 

Eliminating the tuner group had no effect.
Disabling the afflicted channel on the analog tuner not only eliminated the analog tuner from the scheduled recordings, but also eliminated the bogus conflicts. It now handles all of the back to back NCIS episodes with the two HDHomeRun tuners.
MythTV still seems to be avoiding the ATI digital tuner though.

Bug description:
Wrong tuner gets in scheduled recording list.
I have an ATI HD Wonder. I've never been able to get the analog portion to work, but I have it set up so that I can experiment with it. I have the digital portion working and I have it set up in the same tuner group so that the system won't try to record on both at the same time since there is only one physical tuner for both analog & digital.
A particular channel is available on both analog & digital.
I have three digital tuners that can receive this channel (the other two are HDHomeRuns)
There is a NCIS marathon on the date in question, there is nothing else on at the same time. This should be easily handled by two tuners
I set the analog tuner priority to -99 and the digital tuner priority to 0, the analog tuner shows up in the upcoming recordings list, but not the digital. For the specific event in question, I went and changed the channel priority for the specific channel on the analog channel to -99, and it still shows up in the recording list.
This is a cut & paste from Mythweb upcoming recordings:

As you can see, it should have been possible to handle with two tuners, but for some reason, after 4 successful events, it chooses the analog tuner which should have a priority of -198 over the ATI digital which has a priority of 0. Then it screws up even worse by claiming a conflict when there isn't one.
