TimeShift and Record

Postby scrokk » Fri Nov 08, 2013 7:11 pm

Hello!

In the FAQ it's written:

22.Can I record the TV program with MOI while watching?
MOI doesn't have hard disk, you can record the running programs through Tvheadend or the software you use for playback, such as XBMC, VLC etc.


So my question is, if there is no hard disk how can I record the programs? If I buy a 64Gb Micro-SD and I insert it in the MOI, I'll be able to register programs or time shift, right from VLC?

Thank you!

You can try it. In tvheadend web gui You need to add records path. Why not.

Other way:

- in vlc, extended menu You have already record button. You can record stream on Your local PC disk.
- tvheadend using a standard http streaming. You can record (or create app, script) for record to Your USB disk/mmc.

Sample link, given by tvheadend (http://192.168.1.188:9981/playlist/channels):
http://192.168.1.188:9981/stream/channe ... C2336488E3

But, You don't need ticket part for record, so in command line (script/app) of ssh:
1. Create record directory on external device (usb or mmc)
mkdir /mnt/usb/rec
chmod 777 /mnt/usb/rec

2. Classic wget
wget http://192.168.1.188:9981/stream/channelid/16 -O /mnt/usb/rec

--------------------------------------------------
I don't think, You can use microSD with 64MB capacity. MOI haven't exfat driver, needed for use SDXC cards. But, I'm not sure.

Finally, don't forget, bandwith of chipset is limited, so better way is recording on client side.

The problem is that my MOI is not working with VLC only with XBMC... when I open the http://192.168.0.188:9981/playlist on VLC (I changed the IP of MOI and this is the new one) it keeps telling me "VLC is not able to open MRL http://192.168.0.188:9981/stream/channelid/10? and this for all channels! And also the channels displayer are not in the order I set up!

2 mistakes:

playlist from MOI:

/playlist/channels, not only /playlist.

Link without '?', so try only http://192.168.0.188:9981/stream/channelid/10

What version of VLC you're using?

Thats depend of Your TVheadend's setting.
Ideal situation - one tuner = one transponder.
If not, You need to have channels mapped on both tuners (!). Otherwise some channels from playlist are skipped (in specific situations e.g. tuner is busy).

In tvheadend setting, tv adapters, general:
- disable idle scanning
- disable PMT monitor
- disable signal monitor

I've disabled also all EPG handlers, include EIT. I'm using another parsing in my EPG server (more boxes, more channels, another client - dunehd boxes).
Without any problem.

Let me know, if You need more instructions.

Ok, what do You mean with "CAM card"? Do You need use CI module with card + tvheadend?
