TVHeadend doesn't check for free tuners when to many timers are set

I have running TVHeadend 4.2.9 for about two years now on linux mint 20.1 with a dual dbv-s2 PCIe card (DVBSky S952). And I'm sure that TVHeadend always chec...

The Javascript version of TVHadmin stores user preferences in cookies on the client. Changing settings on one client does not affect settings on any other client.

TVHadmin shows both tuners in status. And I have set detect timer clash to MULTI.

Is there a chance that TVHadmin recognise my dual card correctly? When TVHadmin recognise my dual card corect as two tuners then detect timer clash should work in MULTI mode, right? Do you need LOGs or anything else?

If you open the 'timers' page and hover over a timer, you should see the summary information for the programme to be recorded followed by the tuner and mux which will be used to make the recording. If there are no free tuners (the red 'tick') the hover text should list all of your tuners together with the muxes they are tuned to.

Could you try this command on your Tvheadend server or any Linux-based PC on your network:


curl "http://user:pass@your.server.ip:9981/api/hardware/tree?uuid=root" |jq

where 'user' and 'pass' are your credentials for Tvheadend. If you don't have jq installed then leave that out.

The command above gives

Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 432 100 432 0 0 210k 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 210k

parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 10

With setting "Detect clash timer Single Tuner" I see in the TVHadmin web interface a GREEN tick and as information in a small windows this line

undefined

With setting "Detect clash timer Multi Tuner" I see in the TVHadmin web interface a RED tick and as information in a small windows these 4 lines
undefined

Could you try again without piping the output through jq?

Also I'm not clear from the above which Tvheadend version you're running. If it's not 4.3 then that would explain the "undefined" output, otherwise it may be a TVHadmin bug...

Without grep with jq I get this

I am running TVHeadend 4.2.8

Aha. The username connecting to Tvheadend from TVHadmin must have ADMIN privilege in order to use multi-tuner clash detection. I'll make the requirement more explicit in the README.

Hi Dave
thanks for your hints and help. I now installed TVH 4.3 and now it is working. I set TVHadmin in MULTI mode and I get green, yellow and red ticks depending on timer and transponder setting.
It would be great to have this information inside Kodi but I don't think that a programmer will do this.

Oliver Desertfield

Hi Dave
I'm not a coder. So excuse this strange question.
Can you show me or tell me where a coder could find in your software the information if a timer has a green or yellow or red tick?
Probably I can ask in a Kodi forum if a coder can somehow use your information to somehow highlight a timer clash inside Kodi.

davep

The code is in timers2.js.
