If it's going to be limited to 1 letter, v does seem right for "video",
i for iptv would be good. I think ATSC uses ether c or t. Not sure. But
if I understand what is happening here, might be a good idea to go to a
2 or 3 letter ID right now so things don't have to be patched latter.

- Plugins can now define new sources. In order to implement this, the

changes were made:
+ The transponder parameter string is no longer interpreted by
cChannel, but rather
stored as is and used only by the respective device. That way plugins
can use a
channel's parameter string to store arbitrary data (see vdr.5).
+ The new class cSourceParam can be used by plugins to define new
sources, and to
implement OSD items that will be used in the channel editor for
editing the source
specific parameters of a channel (see dvbdevice.c for an example of
how this is
done for the default DVB devices).
+ Purely numerical values are no longer accepted in the 'source'
parameter of a
channel.
This obsoletes the PLUGINPARAM patch.
Is it right, that the sources have to be unique across the different
plugins, at least at one installation? Where can I "register" for an
"official" source-character? Who would document the assigned sources and
where?
'C', 'S' and 'T' are used by dvbdevice, 'P' was used by the
plugin-param-patch. Since it was used for e.g. iptv and pvrinput, I
guess these plugins shall use different ones now, since they have
different syntax?
On my first thought I considered to take 'A' for 'analog', but since
there is something like "ATSC" (and I know nothing about it, if it's
supported by vdr or is covered by dvbdevice or whatever), perhaps I
should use another one?
So I think it would be better to take *'V' = 'analog video'*, since
pvrinput is basically an interface to v4l-devices.
What are you thinking?
Lars.
