VDRfuse --------

Fuse filesystem to "autoedit" VDR recordings!

(c) Teemu Suikki 2017 Based on the fuse example "passthrough_fh.c"

Latest version: https://github.com/Zuikkis/vdrfuse

Using: ---------

This filesystem can be used to mount the VDR recordings directory. All other file operations work normally, but every "00001.ts" file is replaced with edited version, according to "marks" file in the same directory! The translation is done "on the fly", reading the original file at correct positions.

There are some limitations:

- Directory must have "index", "info" and "marks" file. - "info" file must have F line (fps) - "marks" must have correct order. VDR does not require this.. - Recording must be single file, just 00001.ts!

If any of these requirements is not met, the file will be served unedited. So it's not "fatal", you just need to watch commercials. :)

"marks" is re-read every time file is opened, so you can edit marks in VDR and the change is instant when you re-open the video.

VDRfuse works perfectly with Plex Media Server, especially if combined with VDR recordings scanner from my github.

Also recommended is Comskip, http://www.kaashoek.com/comskip/

Testing: ----------

If you just want to test it, create an empty directory for mountpoint and:

vdrfuse -o modules=subdir,subdir=/srv/vdr/video mntpoint

You can use "-f" switch to view some debug output. Then it won't run in the background.

The "subdir" parameter is the VDR recording directory.

Installation: --------------

You can mount it permanently in /etc/fstab:

vdrfuse /srv/vdr/edited fuse allow_other,modules=subdir,subdir=/srv/vdr/video 0 2
