TV Server ========= The TV server is used to control a TV card from Freevo and possible other applications. It is split into three parts: a scheduler, a device wrapper and a Python API to control it. Scheduler and Device Mapper --------------------------- You must have one TV server scheduler running in your network. This is the master TV server. First create a config file: tvserver --genconfig Now edit ~/.tvserver/scheduler.conf. If you have a controller like Freevo or devices on a different machine you should set rpc.address to a different IP address and set a rpc.password. Also set up the epg mapping my selecting an EPG source provider. Now edit ~/.tvserver/devices.conf. Besides the found devices and their priority there are rpc settings. Please set rpc.address and rpc.devices to the values using by the scheduler. You may also set the directory where to store the recordings. Now you can start the devices mapper as standalone application or start device mapper and scheduler in one app. Start tvserver with scheduler and device mapper:: tvserver Start tvserver device mapper with external scheduler:: tvserver --no-scheduler And in case you do not want to use the device mapper and only the scheduler call:: tvserver --no-devices API Interface ============= Import tvserver in Python and you can control the scheduler with Python code remotely. See the API doc for details. Limitations =========== 1. Currently only DVB is supported, either using mplayer or svn from dvbstreamer as backend. 2. EPG Mapping of the sources channel names to the names from DVB devices is currently broken. Feel free to send patches to the Freevo devel mailing list.
