v34 DiSEqC switch configuration not possible with webapp

[nick-reachcomp]

Trying to follow the DiSEqC switch configuration procedure (described in the MythTV wiki Channel_Scanning#DiSEqC_switch_configuration documentation) with MythTV v34, I couldn't achieve this with the Backend webapp and I had to revert to using the deprecated Myth Backend Setup (mythtv-setup).

Ideally in "Capture Cards", when specifying a card as being an n-port DiSEqC switch, each of the ports should be available in the "Input Connections" in order to be associated with a video source. If this requires multiple capture-card entries for the same device (as is currently the case) then it should be possible via the webapp to set these up manually (or they could even be created automatically?).

I managed to complete the DiSEqC switch setup successfully using the deprecated mythtv-setup, but this should not be removed from the distribution until DiSEqC configuration is fully possible via the webapp interface.

More info is provided in the MythTV Official Community Forum where I posted topic #28344:
