Description

Updated to svn 15450.

The external channel changer started to get executed twice while changing channels in LiveTV. Trying to go to channel 27 will send 2727 to the cable box. the log shows 2 subsequent executions of the external channel changer command.

The channel changer gets executed only once (as expected) for any regular scheduled recordings.

I believe this is related to the channel->Init() causing the #4472 bug.

Can you tell me if the patch in #4472 resolves this issue?

If not, I'll need your 'mythbackend -v record,channel,siparser' log.

I had the same issue and 4471_v1.patch fixed it for me.

(In [15470]) Fixes #4472. Refs #4480. Fixes a channel initialization problem.

The problem was causing segfaults in the firewire recorder as the channel was sometimes reinitialized on channel changes before the recorder had successfully paused. This was causing channel change scripts to be executed twice per channel change rather than once.

This adds a new function to ChannelBase?, IsTunable?() which only verifies whether the channel is tunable in terms of being a valid channel and not conflicting with input groups, but does not actually try to tune it. This also adds a parameter to ChannelBase::Init() called setchan, which when set actually intializes the channel, and when cleared does all the verification and has all the side-effects of Init() except for actually performing the initialization of the hardware.
