Bug#842613: vlc: should warn when choosing a DVB channel that isn't from the same transponder.

[Jiff]

Package: src:vlc
Version: 2.2.4-7
Severity: wishlist

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) :)
