Hi all,
The multi-tuner support for freevo-1.6 has been completed (I hope). It
is in r8338.
The way it works is using the VIDEO_GROUPS to tell freevo which is a
play group and which is a record group.
The item is called player.
In the process I've got rid of recordable, as it was never used, Thanks
for this info Rob.
Here's an example VIDEO_GROUPS in the local_conf.py
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video0',
adev = '/dev/adsp',
input_type = 'tuner',
input_num = 4,
tuner_norm = CONF.tv,
tuner_chanlist = CONF.chanlist,
desc = 'PVR-350 Video Group',
group_type = 'ivtv',
player = 1),
VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video1',
adev = '/dev/adsp',
input_type = 'tuner',
input_num = 4,
tuner_norm = CONF.tv,
tuner_chanlist = CONF.chanlist,
desc = 'PVR-350 Video Group',
group_type = 'ivtv',
player = None),
VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video1',
adev = None,
input_type = 'webcam',
desc = 'Logitech Quickcam',
group_type = 'webcam1',
player = None),
]
The key to this is that if the player=None for the group then and this
group has been selected from the TV_CHANNELS then the player and the
recorder use the same device. If as the above example shows the player=1
for the default video group (0) then the players will use this group to
play the tv.
This means that you can have mixed cards, and ivtv card for recording
and a bttv card for playing, etc.
The interrupt live tv plug-in (upsoon) now writes a record.soon lock
file, which it removes when the real record lock file has been written.
This means that when tv has been interrupted due to a pending record,
the idlebar tv plug-in will show that it is recording.
The upsoon plug-in will now not check the radio device as the default
RADIO_DEVICE=None instead of /dev/radio0, should be better for people
without a radio!
Still haven't installed my PVR-500 to check this out, but it works with
the PVR-350 single tuner card. Hopefully I haven't broken too much :-)
As usual don't hesitate to ask if something is not clear, it is a bit
complex.
