+# If you have two or more VDRs and you like them to mutually share
+# there DVB cards you might need to apply this patch first.
+#
+# IMPORTANT: As this patch does not only modify streamdev-server but
+# also an exported method of VDR, you will need to
+#
+#         !!!!! RECOMPILE VDR AND ALL PLUGINS !!!!!
+#
+# Why do I need the patch?
+# --------------------------
+# Before switching channels VDR will consider all of its devices to
+# find the one with the least impact. This includes the device provided
+# by the streamdev-client plugin. Streamdev-client will forward the
+# request to its server which in turn checks all of its devices. Now if
+# the server is running streamdev-client, too, the request will again
+# be forwarded to its server and finally you will endup in a loop.
+#
+# What does the patch do?
+# -----------------------
+# The patch adds the additional parameter "bool DVBCardsOnly" to VDR's
+# device selection method cDevice::GetDevice(...). The parameter
+# defaults to false which gives you the standard behaviour of GetDevice.
+# When set to true, GetDevice will use only those devices with a card
+# index < MAXDVBDEVICES, so only real DVB cards will be considered.
+# Other devices like streamdev-client or DVB cards provided by plugin
+# (Hauppauge PVR) won't be used.
