I've set-up generic record for a saa7134 based card and the recordserver seems to be working fine, after a bit of tweaking of local_conf.py. For a saa7134 I need mencoder to work with generic_record and get the following in the recordserver log. 2007-07-01 11:28:51,691 DEBUG childapp.py (134) : Running (str) "/usr/bin/mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:input=4:norm=pal:freq=175.5:width=640:height=480:outfmt=yuy2:device=/dev/video1:alsa:amode=1:audiorate=32000:buffersize=64 - -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1200:keyint=30 -oac mp3lame - -lameopts br=128:cbr:mode=3 -ffourcc divx -endpos 2039 -o /freevo/record/20070701_1100_Sternstunde_Philosophie.avi" with pid 9322 priority 0 2007-07-01 11:28:51,693 DEBUG childapp.py (406) : logging stdout child to "/var/log/freevo/mencoder-stdout.log" 2007-07-01 11:28:51,695 DEBUG childapp.py (406) : logging stderr child to "/var/log/freevo/mencoder-stderr.log" 2007-07-01 11:28:51,696 DEBUG generic_record.py (158) : app child pid: 9322 The recording is okay and recorded from start to finish, the end of the recording showed this, with a 3 minute post record padding it looks good. 2007-07-01 12:02:58,936 DEBUG childapp.py (423) : stdout: no data, closing log 2007-07-01 12:02:58,938 DEBUG childapp.py (423) : stderr: no data, closing log 2007-07-01 12:02:58,954 DEBUG generic_record.py (173) : Record_Thread::run: finished recording 2007-07-01 12:02:59,285 INFO recordserver.py (1621): RECORD_STOP Sun 2007-07-01 11:00->12:00 (11:00) CNI04C1 Sternstunde Philosophie 2007-07-01 12:02:59,455 DEBUG generic_record.py (148) : Record_Thread::run: mode=idle Not sure what to suggest now.
