Record TV over USB

[sbav1]

But, unless I'm very much mistaken, other people are working on the proper, more advanced version[s] allready, so do not be afraid

Lol, Is anybody working on future versions? I thought, you are

Not really (not on the PVR part anyway). For one thing, DVB-T broadcasting start is sheduled for 31/07/2011 in my area

To clarify things: I was just working on some extensions regarding RC processing, and after the discovery that erdem original version may be in fact in nearly working order, I enabled his pvr functions in my version, did 5 min. job on filenames, used some allready discovered keycodes as indicators, sent it to my cousin (in another country) for some testing and voila - it seems to work..
Maybe it was not that good idea to release such developement-alpha-grade version to the public..

The good thing is, we now have a lot of feedback from the users; I hope it may speed up further developements.

I can watch every recorded sample from my TV that captured from DVB-C and both SD and HD channels.

What if I grab the PVR in TV internal memory, where does it record the file?

Destination directory is now fixed to /dtv/usb/sda1/..
So it can be USB or eventually network share - if mounted before USB is plugged in..

If found the string "/dtv/usb/sda1/" in the pvr.* source files. If I wanted to change the record destination, would I have to change that string in all files?

[nbd]

Hello, the "/dtv/usb/sda1/" is the thing you need to change. It is only in pvr.c. I suppose you have a working cross compiling environment..

There might be possibility to choose the path from TV's usblog, but that needs some logic of course. Easier is to do the config file way.

[mattberlin]

Yes, that would be perfect if one could enter the path into a txt-file in the PVR2 folder.
By the way. Is there a way to get that record application started automatically with SamyGO.sh?

[doodlecz]

Config way is possible, in fact, I have already implemented this for my tests. I suppose, any released future version will have such possibility

Regarding the automatic start of PVR app - or generally starting any game content during startup - it would be very nice to have such possibility but possibly _dangerous_ in case of bugs. Right now I do not know about any possible way how to achieve this, maybe someone other does. Problem is, that IMO exeDSP process itself has to call such application.
Probably, it could be possible only with patched exeDSP/firmware (not my case) but as I mentioned, if there would be any problem within such app, TV could restart periodically itself during startup..
