Category: record server Group: 1.5.x svn Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Richard van Paasen (rvpaasen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Interrupt live tv Initial Comment: Once in a while, while watching live TV, there unfortunately is a program scheduled for recording at the same time. When the recordserver then starts recording, it obviously can not record video since the device is already open (by xine or mplayer). It would be nice to have Freevo interrupting the live tv so that the scheduled program is not missed. Optionally, Freevo can popup a dialog and ask if the recording should be canceled and live tv continued. Don't have the time to do this myself, and I think that one needs a thorough understanding of Freevo internals to implement this. Would be very nice to have, though... Richard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Molohan (johnmolohan) Date: 2006-09-29 18:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=774680 Couldn't it be done in the recordserver code? It already has a process to check for scheduled recordings every minute. If there's a recording about to start it could also check for the existence of a /var/cache/freevo/watching file which would be created by the viewing plugin and issue a stop command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard van Paasen (rvpaasen) Date: 2006-09-29 18:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=182311 Hm, let's try and answer this myself: A plugin can be written that ever 30 seconds or so checks if a recording will start within, let's say 30 seconds. If so, the plugin could send a STOP command through the freevo bus, and then popup a message that informs the user about the interruption. No questions asked for now. Prior to that, the plugin should check *if* there is a plugin that is currently playing video or radio. That's the part where my knowledge of Freevo ends. Recording commands and detecting START/STOP sequences (implement a little state machine) is one way to do it, but not the most elegant. It thus sounds not so hard to do, but someone needs to figure out things first. Richard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Duncan Webb (duncanwebb) Date: 2006-09-29 17:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=104395 Same with the radio, funny recording the radio instead of the tv program. Anybody any ideas on how to do this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=446895&aid=1567895&group_id=46652 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
