Re: [vdr] Freeview Playback
I believe TV-Anytime is a European standard.

I guess we'd need to store the series link information in the epg.data file. The question is where? I figured the two options were to put it on the end of the event line (the one that starts with E and hold the event ID, start time, duration, etc) or to create a new line specifically for it. Also I was wondering about the amount of support to be put into vdr. To have vdr support series recording would, imo, be quite a bit of work when there are plugins that cover that sort of thing. So I was thinking that it might be best to start with just adding support for finding the series link, storing it in the epg and adding the property to the Event class. I haven't figured out how plugins interact with vdr to grab Event information but it would need to be able to pass the Series Link ID to a plugin if it asks for it. An example would be epgsearch, when I select an event in the EPG and hit '4' it creates a search from the event. It would be nice if when i do that it checks to see if the Event has a series link and if it does offers to create a search based on the Series Link. Anyway that was just a few thoughts I had. If i'm going off on the wrong track please let me know, I've never done any work on VDR itself before. One issue is whether this is a global standard (in which case perhaps vdr ought to support it) or a UK-only scheme (where a plug-in might be more appropriate). Do other countries / broadcast systems implement Freeview Playback aka TV-Anytime (ETSI TS 102 323)? -- Dave ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] Dual Tuner Cards
Hi, This seems like a pretty dumb question but I hadn't seen it mentioned before and just wanted to check. I'm looking to buy a dual tuner card, most likely the WinTV Nova-T 500. My question is, as long as the card is supported in Linux will vdr treat it as two dvb-t devices? Cheers, Alex ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
