Revision as of 15:18, 13 May 2006

XdTV is a software that allows you to watch Record & Stream TV.

It interacts with AleVT for Teletext and Nxtvepg for NextView.

It uses the video4linux API. It can use deinterlacing filters

and record video files with various video and audio codecs (ffmpeg, xvid, divx, etc.).

FEATURES :

DVB-T support only (TNT in france)
Good synchro between the audio and the video (SDL is used actually)
Switch from a channel to an other is now possible.
To scan any DVB channels, you must use the scan button into the "Channel Editor" GUI.
The DVB audio is now full integrated to XdTV.

TODO :

INSTALL AND TEST

If you want to test it :

Your drivers for dvb cards must be properly installed : get them from http://www.linuxtv.org/
For the moment XdTV just perform a scan on a DVB-T device : you have to put the found channels in your xdtvrc file

1) scan device with the scan program :

	$>xdtv_scan -dvb
 
       Then choose your country and city

2) copy and paste the output into your xdtvrc

3) then run :

	$>xdtv -dvb

Note : You can switch from a dvb channel to an other one but no to an analogic (V4l/v4l2) one !
