Unfortunately I don't really know, because dischi wrote it. Dischi did just write http://doc.freevo.org/2.0/TVServer which says this about its status: Status The core is running and working (or was at the beginning of 2010 when I last worked on it). But does nothing useful due to the lack of a UI to control it (that part in Freevo 2.0 is broken). The following items are still on my TODO list: * Make it possible to control the TV server using the Freevo 2.0 GUI * Add mdns support to limit the configuration to a password for kaa.rpc to connect * Live TV support The following items are nice to have if someone else is willing to do it: * Create a small GTK app to control the TV server. Since kaa.base and GTK work fine together, it should be easy to create such a small tool. * Make TV devices. Right now only a dvbstreamer plugin works. More devices, such as analogue TV would be nice Due to limited time on my side it would be nice if someone else can take over the maintainership of the tvserver code. If you have any questions about the code, ask on the mailing list or on #freevo at irc.gnu.org. I've been using my own seriously hacky script to do tv captures off my HDPVR. The HDPVR needs a lot of hand-holding, like automatically reopening /dev/video0 if the feed suddenly stops, or even repeatedly reloading the hdpvr module until it starts working. I might look at moving all this into an hdpvr plugin for tvserver and start using it. Meanwhile, as always I'm definitely happy to answer questions about kaa's API (which is what I'm more familiar with, I haven't done much hacking on freevo proper). I could also take a look at bug reports as well, especially anything with a traceback. :) Cheers, Jason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
