In fact, xine has 3 modes for live recording: 1. save all since the stream started 2. save all from "now on" 3. save all since a specific mark, up to a next mark. The mark has to be set by the user. I implemented the third method. Every time you change channels (up/down or by number), a new 'start mark' is set in the stream. This mark will also be set automatically when, according to the EPG, a new program/show starts on the current channel. When you press 'record', xine will save everything since the last mark up to the next 'start mark'. Thus, freevo saves the part of the stream since you started watching TV, since you chose another channel or since the start of the current program/show; whatever happend most recently. The recording is ended when you change channels, when the show stops according to the EPG, or when you quit watching TV. I hope this is clear. I plan to implement the other two methods too. Patches for xine_ui are ready, I plan to present a menubox in xine to ask the user to choose between the three modes, but the xine_ui developer seems kind of busy the 6 months.

But this is way too long ! Yes, the cat approach works. You can also move the files in a directory and have that directory auto-played, or build a fxd indeed. > > So I tried anither approach : > > > > I built a fxd file (You can see that I started from the sample on > > the WiKi ! ) : [snap fxd code] > > > > This works fairly good, except that there is a time (around 1 or 2 > > second at each file change.

Richard, Thank you for the reply. This was very clear. It is the 2nd option (Record from now) that I am interested in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
