There is a plugin or menu option in VDR to manage recordings? For example I want to store all the same episodes from the same series in the same folder. It's possible with VDR?

Yes, it's possible with VDR. I am using reccmds.conf entries to do that. For example:

move to Comedy:/home/cko/bin/move_to Comedy

and the the script /home/cko/bin/move_to contains:

#!/bin/sh destination_directory=$1 recording=$2 recording_top=`echo $recording|cut -d/ -f3`

echo Move $recording to $destination_directory

if [ $recording_top == $destination_directory ] ; then echo $recording is already in $destination_directory'.' exit 1 fi

if [ $recording_top == Action ] || \ [ $recording_top == Comedy ] || \ [ $recording_top == Fantasy ] || \ [ $recording_top == Horror ] || \ [ $recording_top == Kids ] || \ [ $recording_top == Misc ] || \ [ $recording_top == Music ] || \ [ $recording_top == Science ] || \ [ $recording_top == SciFi ] || \ [ $recording_top == Thriller ] ; then source_directory=`echo $recording|cut -d/ -f-4` else source_directory=`echo $recording|cut -d/ -f-3` fi

echo mv $source_directory /video/$destination_directory date mv $source_directory /video/$destination_directory touch /video/.update date

Thank you for your answer. And... it's possible to edit a sumary of a recording after record it?

Yes, but only with a text editor. At least I do not know of a way to do it via the OSD.

Does anyone use these two together, ie. does anyone stream VDR recordings using VLC or VLS ?

I posted this to the streaming mailing list (VLC) but got no response whatsoever :-(

I am currently doing that. I use VDR to change channels and decrypt encrypted channels (controlling with telnet using svdr) and VLC to stream the live video to the other computer on my LAN.

How are you grabbing the stream from VDR using VLC? Are you using streamdev?

I'm using v4l for grabbing so that there will be OSD also in the stream.

What kind of card are you using? Can you provide the syntax used for VLC?

For v4l it needs to be a full-feature card.. that's how 'vdradmin' gets the 'live tv' picture.

I've done similar work to stream the TV picture to my PDA over wifi :) Here are the commandlines I used:

One using v4l:

vlc --noaudio v4l:/dev/video:norm=pal:size=320x240 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=200}:std{access=http,mux=ogg,url=:1234}'

one using streamdev:

vlc --noaudio http://127.0.0.1:82/PS/511 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=200,height=240}:std{access=http,mux=ogg,url=:1234}'

I think I was using Pocket VLC 0.7.2 but it might have been 'MVP' http://home.adelphia.net/~mdukette/downloads.html

Cheers, Gavin.

Thanks, Gavin. What about the audio? Can we get audio from /dev/dsp* if we loop the FF card back into the sound card?

Yep exactly - the PC I was using didn't have enough CPU to encode both video + audio, and the PDA was also maxed out CPU-wise when I included audio...

I am able to get video, but the audio isnt working for some reason..

vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video0:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=1:norm=ntsc:size=352x240 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=756,acodec=mp3,ab=192,deinterlace}:std{access=http,mux=asf,url=:1234}'

Any ideas? I can play the audio just fine through the sound card. Here is some of the debug I get from running the command above:

--SNIP--

It isn't something as lame as your mixer settings haven't selected 'Line in' to be the recording source, with the input volume turned up?

Sometimes you also have to slide the 'Master In' up, or toggle other switches to make it look at the right connector...

Yes, I am lame.. :) I had to select the recording capture device on in the mixer settings.

Thanks a bunch. :)

Hi,

I succeeded to do the same since a long time but using streamdev + VLC (without looping anything to a sound card) with video and sound. Currently, using streamdev, I don't have sound and I don't know why.

Using v4l is better because we have the OSD and it's more easy to change the channel.

Is there any way to have a device like /dev/video for the sound without looping to the sound card ??

No audio here aswell. Used to work but broken with vdr-1.3.2x something. ( Don't remeber exactly. ) Tried VLC 0.8.2 and vdr-1.3.31 + streamdev-CVS today but still no sound :(
