would it be possible to use that "transfer mode" to link several VDRs across hosts? i.e. have several machines with a number of DVBs cards, which basically act as a single vdr machine?
I like this idea. Would it not be nice if I could simply put all my DVB cards into one (big, loud, ugly) VDR server machine in the attic close to the dish and still use vdr on all PCs in the network in exactly the same way?
If a machine cannot receive a particular channel, it should still allow me to watch it (just find a machine in the network that can zap to that channel without interrupting anything).
If a machine cannot record a particular channel, it should still allow me to program a timer (just forward it to a machine in the network that can record it).
Is there a plugin already that does this kind of stuff?
If not, I wonder if it would be hard to do.
Would it not be enough to simply forward timer entries to the server via SVDRP and do everything else via NFS? Even live viewing can be implemented this way, simply by creating a temporary timer and playing back on the client machine what the server has just recorded.
