Hi Hans, Watching live TV (with any source) is really up in the air
right now. IIRC someone sent a patch for either mplayer or xine for
watching IVTV and I think Dischi may have committed it.
IIRC the patch broke dvb and Dischi wanted to commit it as soon as both are
integrated.
I have not
tried this though. We're still conceptually working on a totally new
approach for live TV which is why we haven't put any more effort into
the current TV code.
That's fine, I just wanted to state my problems in order to check which ones
are intentional/known, which ones are my own fault, and which ones are bugs
that're unknown because nobody dares to complain yet. ;-)
I would still be interested in your local_conf.py, in order to see how you set
up recording. (I am @work, will debug this potential .mbus problem ASAP,
maybe then my recordserver would work, too?!)
Your IVTV card should be autodetected by Freevo, then all you need to do
is have plugin.activate('record.ivtv') in your local_conf.py. Also, if
you look at the actual plugin (src/record/plugins/ivtv.py):
# This plugin requires the "encoder" utility that comes with the CK
series of
# ivtv drivers found at http://67.18.1.101/~ckennedy/ivtv/. You neeed
at least
# version 0.2.0-rc2w from the stable branch or 0.3.1t from the unstable
branch
# because we rely on a paramerter for passing the channel frequency as
well as
# support for multiple cards and PAL settings that were introduced in those
# versions.
Plugin related config items and their defaults:
IVTV_ENCODER = '/usr/local/bin/encoder'
If you need to change IVTV properties then you can do:
TV_CARDS['ivtv0'].<property> = <value>
The IVTV default properties are (from src/config/tvcards.py):
# XXX TODO: take care of proper PAL / NTSC defaults
input = 4
resolution = '720x480'
aspect = 2
audio_bitmask = 0x00a9
bframes = 3
bitrate_mode = 1
bitrate = 4500000
bitrate_peak = 4500000
dnr_mode = 0
dnr_spatial = 0
dnr_temporal = 0
dnr_type = 0
framerate = 0
framespergop = 15
gop_closure = 1
pulldown = 0
stream_type = 14
Please note that TODO remark of setting default propertied based on the
user's specified norm (PAL/NTSC/etc). I should fix that then toss this
into the 2.0 wiki if it's not there.
I agree that your current problem with the recordserver it likely mbus
related.
