Timeshifting with VLM

[Davidb]

Hi,

Although it's not implemented (tell me if i'm wrong), I'm trying to enable timeshifting with VLM for TV.

I was thinking about making a vod object that will record tv on a file when a user connects, and then another object will be created with the file created as its input. With this system the user should be able to pause/resume TV as VLM is actually reading the file.

But I have a problem now. I don't know how to record tv to a file ...
Here are my telnet lines :

Code: Select all

new TF1_fichier vod setup TF1_fichier enabled setup TF1_fichier input pvr:/dev/video0:norm=secam:size=720x576:frequency=519250:bitrate=5000000:maxbitrate=8000000 --cr-average 1000 setup TF1_fichier output #std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=/home/davidb/TF1_fichier.mpg}

Is something wrong with that ?

Thanks for your help

This would maybe work better:

Code: Select all

# We're creating a broadcast (live streaming/recording) new TF1_fichier broadcast # The input and all its options setup TF1_fichier input pvr:/dev/video0 setup TF1_fichier option norm=secam setup TF1_fichier option size=720x576 setup TF1_fichier option frequency=519250 setup TF1_fichier option bitrate=5000000 setup TF1_fichier option maxbitrate=8000000 setup TF1_fichier option cr-average 1000 # This looks ok :D setup TF1_fichier output #std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=/home/davidb/TF1_fichier.mpg} setup TF1_fichier enabled # Don't forget to tell it to play control TF1_fichier play

Thanks it works !

Hello again

I'm afraid the tip above has not been useful ...
I've been trying for the last few days to implement a way to pause and resume TV, but I wasn't successful.

For information, the system I'm working on is a VoD server, with a tv card. I use VLM and a php script. People have a list of the VLM entries, and can watch them with the mozilla plugin.
The main problem is that I need to find a solution to enable timeshifting.

I've been trying to set the output of the tv to a file, and then stream the file, but pause doesn't work. And when another user wants to watch the same channel, the sent file starts when the 1st user started watching tv.

I don't know if it's clear, if someone is willing to help, I could explain more in details.

Thanks !

timeshifting on the client side shouldn't be too hard to setup. Just enable access filter "timeshift" and press pause to start timeshifting and then play to continue playback.

But what I want to do is a web page that can play vod with the mozilla-plugin, I don't want to use the usual client.

And I didn't see any timeshift option for this plugin.

well you can load the access filter in the mozilla plugin i guess using some javascript ... not sure though. (See web scripting for more info)
