Hi all, I've been playing with freevo for a little while now over Christmas, trying to get it do do just what I want - I love open source and the ability to tweak / develop things to do juts what you want. I also really like freevo, now I've sorted my dvb card problems out I can record tv, listen to music etc. Its really very cool.
I've been looking at dvbstream and I've been wondering about a possible TV interface.. dvbstream can be used to multicast out the all the pids on given frequency. Could the record sub-system be changed instead of recording using mplayer to dump one channel, dvbstream could be used to tune to the requested frequency (look this up in the channels.conf file). And then use "dumprtp | ts2ps vpid apid > record.ts" to record the channel in question. Once this is running, the other channels on the frequency could also be dumped to disk at the same time, provided your CPU can handle it. They could also be watched by using a similar command and piping the result into mplayer. These channels could be highlighted in a 2nd colour to indicate that you could record them too, or watch them.With a good network connection these channels could also be watched elsewhere in the house. This would mean that subject to CPU / IO resources, with just 2 tuners it would in theory be possible to record (eg. in the UK) BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, ITV, Ch4, ITV2, E4, More4, ITV3, ITV4 all at once! :) Implementing it well would be challenging :) So, any thoughts? I would really like something similar be possible. One of the things I would love to is have 2 tuners, but be able to record 3 or 4 channels at once. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
