ANNOUNCEMENT - tvpvrd 1.4.7
=========================
This is to announce the new release of the GPL 3.0 published multi-threaded
recording/transcoding GNU-Linux daemon 'tvpvrd' - TV Personal Video recorder
for ivtv.
Download from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tvpvrd/
User visible updates since last public announcement:
- Addition of basic WEB-interface with automatic recognition of and formatting
for mobile phones. This makes it easy to use WEB access from a mobile device
- Addition of optional mail notification on events (e.g. transcoding finished)
- Support for NTSC frame size
- Fixed some hardcoded file references where some settings were not properly
read from the INI file
- Additional command to view log file
(The daemon is available as a traditional tar-package source and as prebuilt
RPM for OpenSuSE 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and factory)
NOTE: This is only for GNU-Linux NOT for any versions of Windows.
CREDITS:
========
To all developers of ivtv-driver that made this possible.
RATIONALE
==========
In mailing lists and on the ivtv-wiki there are questions on how to do
scheduled recording using a capture card. Usually the reply on the wiki and on
the mailing lists is to use either
a) some cron/at shell script or
b) install a full fledged media center (e.g. MythTV).
This daemon solves this recording/scheduling problem by offering a clean method
to schedule both recording and optional transcodings (using ffmpeg) by the
means of a resident Unix/Linux daemon for those who do no want/need a full
fledged media center but still wants more easy of use and flexibility than is
possible with manually added cron jobs.
FEATURES
=========
* Client server architecture with automatic client arbitration
* Multi threaded, multi process architecture
* Basic master /slave option for how to run the server which makes it possible
to run as a slave to do transcoding on a server that doesnät have a capture
card.
* Built in micro WEB-server to allow easy WEB access to manage recordings
* ... or command line access via TCP/IP for more advanced commands
* Full UTF-8 support for names of recordings
* Very small footprint (unloaded daemon binary is only 179K)
* Simultaneous recording using multiple capture cards
* Multi transcoding of the same video with user defined profiles
* Self contained XML based recording database (no need to install or setup a
separate database)
* Intelligent load balancing for transcoding
* Large File Support (LFS) to enable recorded files with sizes >2GB
* Easy to use support for recurring recordings, daily, weekly, workdays, etc
* Intelligent time/date specification
* Extensive Unix manpage documentation (as well as PDF version)
* Extensive customization possible via INI-file
* ... and much more !!
