Streamdev-client won't forward calls to SetChannelDevice and ProvidesChannel
to the server, if the current channel and the requested new channel are on the
same transponder. Instead it will just go ahead and later add the PIDs of the
new channel to the current connection.

Pvrinput obviously uses the same frequencies (i.e. transponder) and even the
same PIDs for different channels, so streamdev-clients current behaviour is
bound to fail. According to an other posting in this thread, it is not
possible to use different frequencies, so it seems the problem needs to be
fixed in streamdev-client. Please try the following patch:


AFAIKT the problem is streamdev-client only. So HTTP streaming with e.g. VLC
is not affected.

I need to put something else somewhere else:

Ooops, my fault.  I forgot to take a bracket out.

Patch works..
