hey everyone, after i got Nova-T card working with RedHat 9.0 I was looking at a load of different PVR proggies and couldnt find anything too good. I got it all working on a RedHat 9 build (2.4.20-18.9)
Finally, i managed to get WinTVPVR to work properly, all it needs is for a few MySQl changes to be made... Best way to do it is to first get the drivers for the card built and working. Then get the latest mplayer and configure and build that and test that it works using mplayer dvb://'BBC ONE' command. Then get WebVCRPlus. Unpack all the files to a web accesible dir like /var/www/html/webvcrplus and su to root start the mysqld prog and set a password for the root user if youve not used it before. Get the XMLtv program from http://membled.com/work/apps/xmltv/ and install that, youll prob need to get a load of perl modules as well. Test that with the tv_grab_uk prog and it should grab all the listings cd to the webvcrplus dir and ./setup.pl and provide all the info it wants. Then ./listings.pl Next do mysql -u root -p and select the tv database. In the station table change the type of the channel column from int to text, and then put in the actual channel name for each channel, eg mysql> update station set channel="BBC ONE" where sid=1; once thats done load up a web browser and go the webvcrplus page, go to settings, video recorder config and put in something like /usr/local/bin/mencoder dvb://'#STATION#' -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -endpos #TIME# -o "#OUTPUT#.avi" as the recording program and hey presto! it will all work! it really does rock as well :) if you have any problems i suggest checking the record.output file which is hidden away in the dir which stores video/data as it will tell you the mencoder command it runs and whats actually going on. hope this is of use to someone VViGGi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
