For DVB ATSC recording using an HD5500 card from pcHDTV,
I use the following in local_conf.py:
VCR_CMD = ('/usr/local/bin/record-hd5500.sh' + ' ' +
'/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0' + ' ' +
'%(channel)s' + ' ' +
'%(seconds)s' + ' ' +
'%(filename)s')
my /usr/local/bin/record-hd5500.sh looks like :
#!/bin/bash
# 1: video device
# 2: channel
# 3: time in seconds
# 4: recording file
kill_it()
{
echo "Caught SIGINT ..."
echo "PID $SLEEP_PID"
kill $SLEEP_PID
kill $CAT_PID
kill $AZAP_PID
exit
}
trap 'kill_it' INT TERM
sleep 2
azap -r $2 > /dev/null &
AZAP_PID=$!
sleep 2
cat $1 > $4 &
CAT_PID=$!
# $! is PID of last job running in background.
sleep $3 &
SLEEP_PID=$!
wait $SLEEP_PID
# You should add some check here to make sure cat is still running,
# otherwise you might accidentally kill some other process.
kill $CAT_PID
kill $AZAP_PID
I post process the transport streams using this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $dirname = shift;
my $binary = "/usr/java/jre/bin/java -jar
/usr/local/bin/ProjectX/ProjectX.jar";
opendir (DIR, $dirname) or die "Can't opendir $dirname: $!\n";
while (defined (my $file = readdir(DIR))) {
if ($file =~ /\.ts$/) {
$file =~ /(.*)\.ts$/;
my $base = $1;
system ( "$binary $dirname/$file -tom2p -out $dirname -name
$base.mpg" );
rename ("$dirname/$base.m2p", "$dirname/$base.mpg") or warn
("Couldn't rename $base.m2v to $base.mpg : $!\n");
unlink "$dirname/$file";
unlink "$dirname/$base.mpg_log.txt";
}
}
closedir(DIR);
