[App] PVR+ v1.xx - 2.xx by geo650

[rinaldinicri]

Not working even with full path.

I confirm you that:
-the script called from the shell works perfectly (/bin/sh /mtd_tlib/GGame/PVRplus/scripts/blue.sh)
-If I run the script pushing the blue button it do not work, but I can see the script running with "ps" command.

Please help
Thanks

alfacomp, you can only record digital TV signal (DVB) stream.
For check how signal you use just press INFO button. If there will be name DTV it's OK to record.
Application can't record from any input sources (HDMI, Scart, AV...), analog television, widgets (YouTube).

I perfectly understand now the reason,
I have an external satellite receiver connected to my TV over AV (3xRCA),
I can not use Samsung remote to change the TV channels
I remember I was able to record my favorite show 2 years ago using an older application, was SamyGO PVR able to record from AV to USB stick?
I have tried with: SamyApps_2011.02.06_0.1 (SamyGO PVR v0.10.2)
Pressing REC and connecting with FTP I see 2 files:
0:/dtv/usb/sda1/R_00001.ts
0:/dtv/usb/sda1/R_00001.mdb
but the *.ts file is 0 bytes
Than you for advice

Hello,

any feedback about my problem? (see above: telnet command within the /mtd_tlib/GGame/PVRplus/scripts/blue.sh script)
I cannot understand why it fails?
I think it is related to the way the script is submitted from PVRPlus
Please help
Thanks

I have no idea how to solve your problem but here are my 2 cents of how PVR+ calls your script. It creates a proxy script which calls such commands:

Code: Select all

opwd=`pwd`
cd /mtd_tlib/GGame/PVRplus/scripts
/mtd_tlib/GGame/PVRplus/scripts/blue.sh
cd $opwd

Proxy script is called using system() command.
Script execution ends after that proxy script reaches its end (or waits up to 10 seconds).


An idea: maybe it is easier to make and use an executable file for sending key buttons/codes without listening on TCP/IP port ?

My need is to send a command to my Synology NAS on the network.
Therefore I need telnet.
The sending key it was just a test/debug step.

I also tryed now with PVR+ 3.0 but unfortunately I had always the same problem.
It is this problem ommon to everybody or is it only for me?

Thanks for help

You actually don't need telnet (I mean busybox telnet command). You need an application which can send a command through TCP/IP. It is possible to create such application and then call it from the script. The application has to be built for ARM CPU, of course.

EDIT:

One more idea:
1. Create a script that works well in a commandline; test it.
2. Call this script from within blue.sh script directly or with "&" at the end.

[rinaldinicri]

I tested a blue.sh script as follow:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#
sh blue_my.sh &


blue_my.sh script use busybox telnet...

If I call blue.sh or blue_my.sh manually from shell it work perfectly.
If a call blue.sh pressing the blue button IT DO NOT WORK > I do not have telnet working...!?!?!?


The only difference that I see from ps command is in the STAT field:
script called by PVR:

Code: Select all

 1535 root        328 S N sh blue_my.sh
 1572 root        180 S N sleep 30


script manually called from shell:

Code: Select all

 1578 root        328 S   sh blue_my.sh
 1619 root        180 S   sleep 30

Any idea?
Can you please let me know if this problem is common for everybody or it happen only to me.

Thanks

hello to all I'm new here and i want to say greeeeeeeeat job with PVR+

2. with NTFS-3G i can record only few secs even with low space warning off and the recording cant be found after tv is off or on PC

Requests : if is possible add ntfs support in new versions pls pls pls (tv reads ntfs hdds it cant write them?)

Same here, NTFS support will be great.

[DoctorBR]

Yep! NTFS support will be great!

Great application! It looks a lot better than the older samygopvr

Just one question: with the older samygopvr one could specify a specific folder in the ini file, e.g.:

; Recording directory search order.
; $(USB) in the beginning means the first available /dtv/usb/sd* directory
#TARGET=$(USB)/pvr:$(USB)
TARGET=/dtv/usb/sda1/Video/TV/!Recorded

In my case I chose a network drive which was mounted to a USB stick folder.

How can a specify a specific folder for recording in the new PVR+ 3.0 application?

Best regards
