Dear Pa' Intainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Changing DVB channel that is on another transponder than the one
I was recording.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Changing DVB channel by cliking another one in my list (coming from
~/channel.conf) that isn't on the same transponder.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Channel changed, which occured "normally", clobbering my previous channel
recording: it stopped without any warning.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Vlc to act the same as Kaffeine: popping a warning up that explains the
new chosen channel being on another transponder the former recording
will be stopped, AND (obviously?) allow channel change smoothly when the
new channel is on the same transponder without any warning and without
stopping the current recording.

Have a nice daight (or nighday) :)

As this is an upstream feature request, it should be reported in the upstream
tracker. Could you please file it there? See
https://wiki.videolan.org/Report_bugs for details.

Cheers

VLC does not know that another pipeline or another process is recording from
the same tuner if the kernel does not return an error. VLC cannot warn you
about something that it is not aware of.

VLC can listen on the demux without access to the tuner, in which case you can
"safely" change channel within the transponder from the Playback menu.

Br,
