This is probably an odd request but still!
Has anyone had a go at creating a plugin which provides a dummy DVB device?
This may sound like a pointless idea but bear with me. I've just been setting
up a slave vdr system for occasional use. With this, I'm nfs mounting
the /video directory from my main vdr system, and its main use is for
watching recordings whilst I'm upstairs on a TV with a nice interface, remote
control, etc.
At the moment, I am using streamdev so that I don't get lots of "Channel not
available" and "No DVB device" error messages popping up every few minutes!
It would be much simpler to create a plugin which provides a dummy DVB device
but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone else has already done this!
Not looked into this very deeply yet but would I need to create a fake DVB
stream to send to vdr from the plugin or would it still keep on giving me the
"Channel not available" messages?
Cheers,
Laz
