Hi,
I'm changing parts of my configuration (it seems that I'm not able to
have a stable HTPC !), and I have an information and a question :
The information (maybe a "well known secret" :-) )
I never was able to use the ivtv_xine plugin if my PVR card was not
linked to /dev/video0.
Finally having a look in the source code of xine-lib, is it true that
/dev/video0 is an hardcoded default value, but a solution exists. If the
config file (I did the test with ~/.xine/config, but I believe that a
general file also exists) contains the next line, then the pvr:// mode
use the selected /dev/video device, instead of /dev/video0 :
# device used for WinTV-PVR 250/350 (pvr plugin)
# string, default: /dev/video0
media.wintv_pvr.device:/dev/video2
The question :
(I didn't dig very far, for now, so the answer could be obvious)
I'm trying to use an external tuner. I created my own, derived from
irsend_generic (because at the moment, I use my TV as tuner, and to
select a two numbers channel, my TV need some magic tips). This is
working great ... when watching video. If I try to record a show, the
channel simply doesn't change, without any error messages.
In the recordserver-{UID}.log, I can see that the plugins was selected.
But no channels change. The record is OK.
Here are the (hopefully) relevant informations from local_conf.py :
plugin.remove('tv.generic_record')
plugin_record = plugin.activate('tv.ivtv_record')
plugin.remove('tv.mplayer')
plugin.activate('tv.ivtv_xine_tv')
TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video2',
adev=None,
input_type='composite',
input_num=1,
tuner_norm='SECAM_L',
tuner_type='external',
desc='Hauppauge PVR USB 2',
group_type='ivtv')
]
# plugin for ir blasting for channel change
plugin_external_tuner = plugin.activate('tv.irsend_generic2',
args=('/usr/bin/irsend --count=5 SEND_ONCE RM-883'))
Thanks,
Pascal
