Hi folks, this is kind of a follow-up to the thread "DVB: Parallel recordings from same transponder" I've started some days ago (11.July). Now, I've also added the capability to watch TV while a recording is running. The main idea is to use dvbcat to send the data to display to the mplayer. As dvbd has priority settings, I just needed to give the recording task a higher priority.
I have created a new tv plugin: pfe_dvbcat_mplayer.py, see attachment. I've
replaced the original one in local_conf.py using...
plugin.remove('tv.mplayer')
plugin.activate('tv.pfe_dvbcat_mplayer')
In addition, I removed the lockfile handling from (my special) recordserver.
See the initial thread and attachment pferecordserver.py for details...
The outcome is as follows:
If a recording is running, you can watch all the stations on the same
transponder. When trying to watch a program on another transponder, the
screen turns black for a few seconds and returns to the program listing.
If you watch a program and a recording starts on the same transponder, then
you might not even notice and you can keep watching. If a recording starts on
an other transponder, the screen freezes. It can be stopped using the remote
control (or whatever you use to control freevo).
I.e. it works, but it is not very user friendly.
Cheers,
Thorsten
