Have a look at the mcli-plugin and the few patches for vdr it needs. It is
already doing everything you are describing, as we needed that for the
NetCeiver-streaming for multiple clients.
Namely:
a) Providing virtual tuners to allow arbitrary hotplugging (tuner types and
sat positions) and even changing tuner properties "on-demand".
b) Disabling unused tuners, however this is hard in general as there's no
hard information on the PID usage type available.
But be warned, hotplugging has some pitfalls ;) So the "resource allocation
checks" for a point of time in the future (like timer collisions) are no
longer useful.
