Can anybody tell me what the tuner setting 'Priority' is meant for? It can be set to 'Auto' as well as a number of values.

It has something to do with DiSeqC. All I know is that if I change it to something else, it stops working.

[Dimitrij]

It works great.
I would call this the advanced settings option for priority tuners.

Please could you explain exactly. When in auto I can predict tuner selection 100% of the time. Anything else and I haven't got a clue.

Sorry, I do not know the principle of operation of this option.
But in my receiver it works.

I guess Gutemine could answer those questions. He knows everything about enigma2, doesn't he?

If set priority 14000--->19065 for need satellite,this tuner will always have priority when switching to the satellite.

Dima, where do you get those numbers from?

And how does such a priority setting relate to 'preferred tuner' in 'Customise' and in 'Recording settings'?

[blzr]

take a look here:
http://sourceforge.n...860c9ee2765d6e/

add possibility to set manual lnb priority (only in advanced sat config)

range 0..64 to decrease priorities (this is lower as all auto given priorities)
range 14000..14064 this is higher than auto given rotor priorities
range 19000..19064 this is higher than each auto given priorities

 

but I have no idea if this decreasing/increasing priority applies only in regard to 'auto' option in lnb priority, or also to 'auto' option set up in preferred tuner/ preferred tuner for recordings...

[Dimitrij]

Dima, where do you get those numbers from?

 

Satconfig.py-->"Priority"

[Huevos]

Still not clear to me. What is the difference between 14xxx and 19xxx?

And why these strange values that are not useful in the context of a user interface?

[Dimitrij]

We need to do so, it will be useful for everyone!!!

Can someone come up with a test that demonstrates the logic behind this?

[malakudi]

I can describe one situation where this is usefull. Assume you have one large motorized dish and one multilnb dish. You can receive a specific satellite with both. Let's say 4.8E. You leave in southern Greece, where you can only receive the nordic beam of 4,8E with your large motorized dish. So, you set the priority of the motorized LNB for this satellite to be 19000 and it will always be preferred. The satellite will be received by the non-motorized lnb only if the motorized dish is being used by a recording on a different satellite.

 

Same examples with 2 or more motorized dishes etc.

[Rob van der Does]

And this priority setting has a higher impact then the settings of preferred tuner in customise & recording settings?

[Huevos]

As soon as you change the priority on the preferred tuner, the preferred tuner seems to be ignored for that satellite. But anyway so far no one seems to be able to come up with anything more than vague ramblings as to what this really does or the logic behind it.
