XdTV is a software that allows you to watch 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.).
- The current CVS snapshots of XdTV have DVB support included.
- DVB-T support isn't finished yet. actually this feature is highly experimental even if it's usable. You need LIBSDL & LIBCURL.
FEATURES :
- see dvb-t channels (TNT in france)
- switch from a channel to an other
- scantv works (xdtv_scantv -dvb), you must choose between download a tranponder file or use a local one.
TODO :
- scantv.sh doesn't work
- recording & streaming do not work at all
INSTALL AND TEST
If you want to test it : drivers for dvb cards must be properly installed : get it 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
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 !
