Seeing as the transcoding happens faster than real time, have you explored any ways to inject a real time transcoding process into MythTV's capture of the video stream. (If MythTV was a tad more modular, this would probably be trivial.) I haven't investigated to see whether the MythTV driver for the HDHR talks to it directly over the net, or if there is a generic HDHR driver a layer down, which might set up a video device. If the latter, it might be possible to make a small tweak in the MythTV code to have it read from a named pipe instead of the device. (Control signals would still have to go direct to the HDHR driver somehow.) I recently received a letter from my cable company that it is discontinuing analog service for all but the broadcast channels (as I was expecting). So I'll finally have some motivation to put my HDHR to use. (I'll setup my PVR-500 to record the output of a cable box as a backup. I have a Motorola model with a serial port, which I see can be controlled by MythTV.) -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/
