ANNOUNCEMENT - tvpvrd 2.0.1
=========================
This is to announce the release of tvpvrd v2.0.1 - TV-Personal-Video-Recorder
tvpvrd is GPL 3.0 recording/transcoding daemon to be used in conjunction with
one or several TV-cards using ivtv driver. The daemon implements a highly
intelligent digital VCR that allows you to schedule and optionally transcode
recordings from an analogue TV-card. Recordings can also be made from the other
inputs on the TV-Card
The package now also includes an optional power management daemon (tvpowerd)
that runs on a separate machine and can manage the power on/off of the recording
server according to the recording schedule.
The daemon is interfaced either though the built-in (basic) WEB-interface or the
full command line language. The WEB interface will also adapt if run on mobile
phones to suit the smaller screens. This makes the daemon accessible as long as
you have a mobile phone or network connection.

Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tvpvrd/
NOTE: This is only for GNU-Linux NOT for any versions of Windows.
Changes in this release
===================
All the comments that have been received over the last 8 month regarding this
package have now been included in the 2.0.1 release. I'm grateful for all
suggestions that has definitely made it much more useful and robust. A thanks
also goes to the volunteer testers that have made sure that the package now
works out of the box on multiple distributions including among others:
* OpenSuSE 11.1, 11.2, 11.3
* Fedora 13,
* Debian Lenny/Sid
* Ubuntu 10.10
Goal
====
The goal of this project has been to provide a well documented, robust and easy
to manage recording service for those who have a TV-Card. One particular goal
was to allow access to the server over network and provide access from mobile
phones.
Features:
========
* Simple installation. Requires no complex database setup
* Full GNU autools (configure/make) compliance which makes it easy to copmile
and install.
* Supports unlimited number of TV-cards
* Supports multiple ways to connect to the daemon, both a basic WEB-interface
(includes a micro WEB server) as well as direct login via TVP/IP
* 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 doesn't have a capture
card.
* Full UTF-8 support
* Small footprint
* 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)
* Recordings can be manipulated from anywhere as long as it is possible to login
to the server running tvpvrd.
* Large File Support (LFS) to enable recorded files with sizes >2GB
* Easy to use support for recurring recordings, daily, weekly, workdays, etc
* Adaptive command languages which makes for very efficient commands with
intuitive syntax (even through primarily targeted for m2m communication)
* Intelligent time/date specification
* Extensive documentation (man page as well as PDF/HTML versions)
* ... and many, many more features. See the documentation
CREDITS:

Happy recording
