By the way, you could do the same with with VDR + streamdev plugin and vlc. Of course you wouldn't be able to use that card in other VDR activities when vlc is streaming TV broadcast accessed over the HTTP server of streamdev, which is consuming one of the cards. But you'd still have 3 cards left which is quite plenty (unless you have some very special needs, in which I apologize for spending everyone's time with this message ;). And if your clients view the networked stream only occasionally in a VoD manner, the card would be available to VDR when no-one is viewing the vlc stream and thus the card would be put in better use. When vlc is streaming TV program received directly from the DVB device, the card would just sit idle when no clients are accessing the vlc stream. > > > Regards, Lars Fredriksson > > > >> regards >> >> On 3/8/06, vdr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <vdr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> Hi again! >>> >>> I think I solved the problem by increasing MAXDVBDEVICES to 6 and >>> then >>> recompile but I'm still only getting 4 devices? >>> Is there anything more I should do? >>> >>> >>> Best regards, Lars Fredriksson >>> >>> On Tue, Mar 07, 2006 at 09:12:57PM +0100, vdr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >>> wrote: >>>> Hi list! >>>> >>>> Is there a limit of how many DVB-cards I can use with VDR?
