Important.png Note: As of 0.28, this table is no longer used.

Important.png Note: The correct title of this article is cardinput table. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.

The cardinput table contains a row for each input listed in the capturecard table. It uses the videosource table as a reference. For example, a video capture card can have an RF input, an S-Video input and a composite video input. This table also stores the binding between a Video Source and an input -- if the RF input is direct analog cable and the S-video input is digital cable through a box, this is where that information will live.

Fields

cardinputid
is a unique identifier for the entries in the table.
cardid
maps directly to entries in the capturecard table.
sourceid
maps directly to entries in the videosource table.
inputname
Example values: DVBInput, Tuner 1
externalcommand
changer_device
changer_model
tunechan
startchan
contains the last channel tuned on this card.
displayname
is user supplied free form text.
  • Example values: HD3000 Digital
dishnet_eit
recpriority

Tricks

The following command will re-set the channel number. Set the startchannel to something which works on your system and select the correct cardinputid for your DVB card.

mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg -e "UPDATE cardinput SET startchan=108 WHERE cardinputid=1;"
