Hi all, My new shiny Fedora Core 6 freevo machine is much much better, but I still have some weirdness with the DVB-T usb stick. As a result sometimes it won't tune first time. When this happens a 2nd attempt will usually get it.
However this causes problems with scheduled recordings. The record server fires up mplayer to dump the stream, but fails to tune. mplayer dies and the recording stops :( If I am there to spot this, stopping the recording, and then re-scheduling it works just fine. But of course I'm not always there :) I would like to try and edit the record server so that if the record command fails within a minute or two of the time is started, then it tries again until a pre-defined counter has been reached (maybe twice, might as well be configurable though). I've found recordserver.py, but I'm not great at python (java programmer) so not really sure how to read it or where to start, any pointers to the right place to look would be ace. If not then please consider this a suggestion for the future :) (I'll raise a feature request if thats better). I know that really my hardware should work, but given the state of some of the drivers for linuxtv this seems a pragmatic solution :) Cheers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
