Well, I spoke to rob about VIDEO_GROUPS, and looked briefly at trying to set those up. However, it seemed overkill for my needs.
In the end I just wrote a 6 line perl script that was called with the channel number as part of VCR_CMD immediately prior to mencoder. I don't know if I should submit it (being perl instead of python), but if anyone is curious, this is it: #!/usr/bin/perl -W my $input = $ARGV[0]; my @chan = split(//,$input); foreach $integer (@chan) { $command = "/usr/bin/rc SEND_ONCE sky $integer"; `$command`; } Seems to work quite well at any rate.
