[linux-dvb] Re: Timing recording

[Alexandre CONRAD]

I don't know if it's your case... but the most simple thing you can do
is to check the local time (if the programm starts at the same hour).

That's what I though at the begining of course. But the program is a live (direct) program... It usualy starts at the same time 8:00am, but it never stops at the same time. And this is not predictible to know when it will stop. That's why I was thinking about "seeing" the last frame, and stop the recording process. As I know the last frame will always be the same, it's always the same ending generic...

So my real problem here is, I need a clean video trimed out, but I don't know the exact (to the second close) the starting and ending. What can we do ?

Regards,

Subject: [linux-dvb] Timing recording


  

Hello,

I'm need to record a program from the satellite onto disk, and then
    

send
  

this recoreded video on a video server. The program I want to record
    

it
  

a 7-10 minutes program that shows everyday in the morning.

The idea here is that I want to automate this completly. I need to
    

know
  

if there's a way I can record this program exactly at the start
    

point
  

and the end point to have it "clean" to be able to send to the video
server after that.

I thought about something :
If I have 2 images, they are repectivly the 1st frame of the
    

starting
  

generic and the last frame of the ending generic. Can I say "start
recording when you see that 1st frame, and stop when you see that
    

last
  

one" ?
Or is there some kind of signal sent by the TV channel that could
    

tell
  

me "the program is starting now" and "the program is ending now" ?

Of course, I'd prefer this project to be under linux, but if you
    

have a
  

MS Windows alternative, as long as it can be automated, I'm open to
    

any
  

suggestions.

Best regards,
