Project Description

tvpvrd is a PVR daemon for Linux that offers the ability to schedule and manage TV recordings using one or multiple installed analogue TV capture cards, e.g. Hauppauge. The daemon is interfaced either through its full command language via a provided command line shell or through a basic (built-in) Web interface provided by the built in micro Web server. The goal is to provide an advanced recording and transcoding (using ffmpeg) server without the need to configure databases or a complex GUI. The server is completely self-contained and uses an XML DB in plain text format to store future recordings.

2.3.0

This release added support for automatic server wakeup/shutdown using the BIOS real time clock. There were also documentation updates and internal code refactoring to prepare for more advanced mail handling and formatting in future releases.

2.2.0

An option was added to specify an optional post recording script. Support was added for cards that use two different device interfaces for tuner and MPEG encoded stream. An internal change was made so that all v4l API calls regarding controls now go through the modern extended control interface. This will make the daemon more robust to a larger class of video/recorder cards.

2.1.1

This release fixes a build problem in 2.1.0 with doing a build from a fresh unpack when buildnumber.txt didn't exist in the subdirectory.

2.1.0

This release supports the configuration of external channel switching for use with cable boxes that are operated with remote IR. The build system was tweaked to include the build number as well as some more debug and simulate configuration options. There were some minor cleanups and refactoring of some of the code. One minor possible memory leak was fixed. Some tweaks were made to the power on/off daemon to better handle loading/unloading of the ivtv kernel driver, making it more robust when doing suspend/hibernate operations.

2.0.0

Includes a new power management daemon that will turn the recording server on/off according to the recording schedule. (The power daemon must, for obvious reasons, run on a separate physical server.) A completely reworked build/configuration setup with full autotools compliance. The package is now known to build and install correctly under all popular distributions (OpenSuSE 11.3, Ubuntu 10.10, Fedora 13, and Debian Lenny/Sid). Some very minor bugfixes and updated documentation.
