Linux-DVB-DVBT ============== Linux::DVB::DVBT is a package that provides an object interface to any installed Freeview tuner cards fitted to a Linux PC. The package supports initial set up (i.e. frequency scanning), searching for the latest electronic program guide (EPG), and selectign a channel for recording the video to disk. Example scripts have been provided in the package which illustrate the expected use of the package (and are useable programs in themeselves). For futher details please see 'perldoc Linux::DVB::DVBT'. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install LARGE FILE SUPPORT I've added the appropriate compile options to enable the module to be compiled with large file support. These options will be enabled if your Perl build supports it (set in your config.pm when Perl was installed). Without this, recordings were limited to 2G (approx 2 hours). If you find you still have problems recording large files, then you can always use dvbt-ffrec (instead of dvbt-record). This gets ffmpeg to do the work of creating the file (and transcoding it to mpeg format). DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: use File::Basename ; use File::Path ; use File::Spec ; use POSIX qw(strftime); DOCUMENTATION Along with the installed perldoc, you can optionally create the Doxygen HTML files for the C library. This will be of little interest to general Perl users of the module, but may be of interest to developers or those that are trying to debug a problem with the module's interaction with their tuner. Just run make doxygen This will create HTML files in ./doxygen/html, the file ./doxygen/html/index.html is the top-level. DEBUG If you have any problems, particularly with scanning, please re-run with debug set to 15 and send me the log file (see my CPAN email). I'll try to fix the problem as soon as possible.
