I understand. But this code looks confusing (at least). And, just to
draw your attention, there is no priority checking here unless
MaySwitchTransponder() returns true on the second call (which would be
really ugly). Thus, for example, this code (vdr.c:1109)
if (NeedsTransponder || InVpsMargin) {
// Find a device that provides the required transponder:
cDevice *Device = cDevice::GetDeviceForTransponder(Timer->Channel(), MINPRIORITY);
if (!Device && InVpsMargin)
Device = cDevice::GetDeviceForTransponder(Timer->Channel(), LIVEPRIORITY);
// Switch the device to the transponder:
if (Device) {
...
has no sense.
I totally agree! And I have nothing to counter the logic in your
arguments.
However, before I revert the change that was introduced in version
1.7.29, I would need somebody with a setup that contains "bonded"
devices to test whether recordings still work properly with the
second call to d->MaySwitchTransponder(Channel) removed.
Is anybody actually using "device bonding" (or "LNB-sharing", as it was
named when this was still a patch)? Personally I never liked this and
I still believe that it makes things unnecessarily complex and should
be removed again...

with the change comment "Fixed handling recording with more than two bonded devices".
While I tend to agree with you in that d->MaySwitchTransponder(Channel) is always false here,
this must at least have fixed the problem at hand back then (it was the only file that
has been modified for this fix). I'm therefore hesitant to remove this call and
risk breaking something...
