List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-dvb-bounces@linuxtv.org Errors-To: linux-dvb-bounces+mchehab=infradead.org@linuxtv.org List-ID: Hi everyone, I'm currently setting up a new server that will (among other things) record TV shows for me. In the past I've used cron to schedule recording jobs, and I've used dvbrecord to do the actual recording. This set up has served me well for many years, but unfortunately dvbrecord doesn't seem to exist any more, and it never supported programs with AC3 audio anyway (which is pretty much all the HDTV channels here in Australia.) If you were setting up a headless machine to record TV shows, what programs would you use to do this? Ideally I'd like the shows dumped into a local directory, so that I can watch them over NFS with mplayer, but I'm open to alternatives. I really want to avoid running a whole "media centre" program like MythTV, VDR, etc. as I'd like this to be lean and clean and I don't mind using the command line for playback. Any suggestions? I'd be happy to document the final system, installation, configuration, etc. on the LinuxTV wiki, as I couldn't find any info about this sort of thing on there at the moment. Many thanks, Adam. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
