By contrast, the GNU General Public -License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free -software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This -General Public License applies to most of the Free Software -Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to -using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by -the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to -your programs, too. - - When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not -price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you -have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for -this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it -if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it -in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. - - To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid -anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. -These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you -distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. - - For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether -gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that -you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the -source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their -rights. - - We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and -(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, -distribute and/or modify the software. - - Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain -that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free -software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we -want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so -that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original -authors' reputations. - - Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software -patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free -program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the -program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any -patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. - - The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and -modification follow. - - GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION - - 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains -a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed -under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, -refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" -means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: -that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, -either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another -language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in -the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". - -Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not -covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of -running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program -is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the -Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). -Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. - - 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's -source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you -conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate -copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the -notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; -and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License -along with the Program. - -You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and -you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. - - 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion -of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and -distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 -above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: - - a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices - stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. - - b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in - whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any - part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third - parties under the terms of this License. - - c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively - when run, you must cause it, when started running for such - interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an - announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a - notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide - a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under - these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this - License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but - does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on - the Program is not required to print an announcement.) - -These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If -identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, -and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in -themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those -sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you -distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based -on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of -this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the -entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. - -Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest -your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to -exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or -collective works based on the Program. - -In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program -with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of -a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under -the scope of this License. - - 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, -under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of -Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: - - a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable - source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections - 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, - - b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three - years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your - cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete - machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be - distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium - customarily used for software interchange; or, - - c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer - to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is - allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you - received the program in object code or executable form with such - an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) - -The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for -making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source -code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any -associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to -control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a -special exception, the source code distributed need not include -anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary -form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the -operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component -itself accompanies the executable. - -If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering -access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent -access to copy the source code from the same place counts as -distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not -compelled to copy the source along with the object code. - - 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program -except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt -otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is -void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. -However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under -this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such -parties remain in full compliance. - - 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not -signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or -distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are -prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by -modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the -Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and -all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying -the Program or works based on it. - - 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the -Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the -original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to -these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further -restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. -You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to -this License. - - 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent -infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), -conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or -otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not -excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot -distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this -License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you -may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent -license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by -all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then -the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to -refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. - -If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under -any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to -apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other -circumstances. - -It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any -patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any -such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the -integrity of the free software distribution system, which is -implemented by public license practices. Many people have made -generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed -through that system in reliance on consistent application of that -system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing -to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot -impose that choice. - -This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to -be a consequence of the rest of this License. - - 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in -certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the -original copyright holder who places the Program under this License -may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding -those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among -countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates -the limitation as if written in the body of this License. - - 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions -of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will -be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to -address new problems or concerns. - -Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program -specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any -later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions -either of that version or of any later version published by the Free -Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of -this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software -Foundation. - - 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free -programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author -to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free -Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes -make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals -of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and -of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. - - NO WARRANTY - - 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY -FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN -OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES -PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED -OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF -MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS -TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE -PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, -REPAIR OR CORRECTION. - - 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING -WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR -REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, -INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING -OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED -TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY -YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER -PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE -POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. - - END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS - - How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs - - If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest -possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it -free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. - - To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest -to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively -convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least -the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. - - - Copyright (C) - - This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify - it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by - the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or - (at your option) any later version. - - This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, - but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of - MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the - GNU General Public License for more details. - - You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License - along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software - Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA - - -Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. - -If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this -when it starts in an interactive mode: - - Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author - Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. - This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it - under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. - -The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate -parts of the General Public License.

Record TV

- -

Warning: Record TV is not (currently) for the faint-hearted. One day, I hope it will have several friendly user interfaces, and lots of pretty colours. For now, if you don't like the idea of typing a long command at a terminal just to record a TV show, you should probably look elsewhere.

- -

Record TV records TV on your Linux desktop. It also has experimental support for playing back recordings on the Nintendo Wii (using the Opera web browser).

- -

It tries to take a direct approach, using the large and flexible toolkit that is available to Linux users, and should be useful for people who like to have control over how things work. It attempts to take the Unix approach of being a small tool that does one job well.

- -

It's designed to be very flexible about how you set up recordings: the recording system looks in certain directories for the right kinds of files, and when it sees them it knows what to record. How those files get there is up the user interface, which means lots of different user interfaces can (potentially) all interact with the same recording system.

- -

At the moment, it has essentually no UI for setting up recordings, and a simple web UI for playing them back.

- -

Why not use MythTV instead? Well, you probably should, but I don't because:

- -
    -
  • I want my tv recording to work in the background, using cron and at, as life is supposed to be.
    • -
  • I want my tv recording to happen on my desktop computer, not a dedicated PVR box.
    • -
  • I can never get MythTV working.
    • -
- -

What can it do?

- -

OK, so you're convinced I've got big plans to make a cool, extensible TV recording system that can be controlled by lots of different GUIs, but you actually came to this site because you want to record TV, right?

- -

Well, the good news is that you can record TV right now on your Linux desktop using Record TV. I genuinely use it myself, and it works! I even have it set up so I can watch the stuff I've recorded on my Nintendo Wii.

- -

The bad news is that you'll need to be unafraid of things like the Unix command 'touch', or be willing to learn.

- -

In further bad news, it's probably packed full of bugs.

- -

Oh, and it's only been tested by ... erm ... me.

- -

And the watching it on the Wii thing ... that crashes quite a bit.

- -

Getting Started

- -

Still reading? Maybe you skipped straight to this bit? If so, I'd suggest dipping into the Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt I scattered in the previous section.

- -

Note: these instructions are experimental, and are probably missing bits. Please email me on axis3x3 at users dot sourceforge dot net if you get stuck and I'll try to help.

- -

Here's what you need to do to start recording TV onto your hard disk:

- -
    -
  • Get a TV card. I use a Hauppauge WinTV something-or-other DVB card.
    • -
  • Get it working. I use Ubuntu Dapper, and I remember it took a lot of doing, but I don't remember what I did. My relevant blog entry might help.
    • -
  • Get XMLTV installed.
    • -
  • Download Record TV and unzip it somewhere. Put it where it's going to live permanently, because we're going to be making symlinks to stuff shortly.
    • -
  • Create the directory ~/.recordtv and inside there create one called "config". cd into the config directory and create symlinks to the correct channels_order_*.rtvcfg and xmltv_channel_to_tzap_*.rtvcfg files for your region in the "include" directory of the unzipped Record TV directory. The links in the config directory should not have the region name in them. For example, for the UK (which is the only region which has these files at the moment - if you are from somewhere else, just link to these for now) you would do this: -
    cd ~
-mkdir .recordtv
-cd .recordtv
-mkdir config
-ln -s ~/code/recordtv/include/channels_order_uk.rtvcfg channels_order.rtvcfg
-ln -s ~/code/recordtv/include/xmltv_channel_to_tzap_uk.rtvcfg xmltv_channel_to_tzap.rtvcfg
-
    • -
  • Edit src/rtv_config.py, and change the line that says 'cfg_xmltv_command = "tv_grab_uk_rt"' so that it names your XMLTV grabber, instead of the UK one. (If you don't know which command to use, type "tv_grab" in a terminal and press TAB a couple of times - hopefully one of the commands that appear will look sensible.)
    • -
  • Edit rtv_schedule.py and change the line that starts "record_start_command = " so that the file path points to the "scripts/record_dvb_to_flv.sh" command on your system. Make sure it's the full absolute path.
    • -
  • cd into the src directory, and run "./recordtv --download-listings --interactive". This will launch the XMLTV configuration process, and then (hopefully) download some TV listings for you.
    • -
  • Run "./recordtv --schedule-recordings". This obviously won't work yet, but it shouldn't fail horribly, and it will create some directories in ~/.recordtv that we will need in a minute.
    • -
  • Run "cd ~/.recordtv".
    • -
  • Run "cd favourites" (note UK English spellings throughout!)
    • -
  • Create a file "myfav.rtvfav" in this directory that contains a single line like this: -title_re=The West Wing. Change the title to the name of a TV programme that is showing in the next 24 hours.
    • -
  • Run "./recordtv --schedule-recordings" again, and Record TV should tell you it is going to record the programme you named.
    • -
  • Verify that some information about what is going to be recorded has appeared in ~/.recordtv/scheduled_events. Verify that an "at" job has been scheduled by running atq.
    • -
  • See whether the programme does get recorded. If it worked, it should appear in ~/.recordtv/recorded_programmes. If not, look at the log in ~/.recordtv/recording_log, have a fiddle, and email me if you can't work it out.
    • -
- -

Running every night

- -

Record TV does 2 things: downloads listings, and schedules recordings. I recommend doing the former once a week, and the latter every day. To assist you in this, there are some example scripts in the "cronscripts" directory of the tarball. Modify "recordtv-download" and "recordtv-schedule" to point at the location of the recordtv executable on your system, and then run crontab -e to edit your crontab file and type some entries like the example ones shown in "crontab-entries.txt".

- -

Once this is set up, any programmes you name in your favourites directory should be recorded automatically for you.

- -

Watching on the Nintendo Wii

- -

If you thought the above was a hassle, try this:

- -
    -
  • Get Jeroen Wijering's excellent FLV Player. I can't include it with Record TV because it is distributed under a non-commercial license which is incompatible with the GPL. If anyone knows of another player that works with the Wii and could be distributed under the GPL, let me know.
    • -
  • Unzip the files "swfobject.js" and "flvplayer.swf" into the "playonwii" directory in the recordtv source directory.
    • -
  • Create symlinks to both of these files inside the ~/.recordtv/recorded_programmes directory. Also, create symlinks in this directory to index.php and play.php, which should already be in the "playonwii" directory.
    • -
  • Set up a web server (I use apache) and PHP and make the ~/.recordtv/recorded_programmes directory visible through the web server.
    • -
  • Browse to index.php - you will be able to click on a programme to watch it in your web browser.
    • -
  • On your Wii, start the Opera web browser and browse to the machine that contains the recorded programmes. They should play back on the Wii in the same way they do on a PC. Of course, the flash player seems to crash quite often, so it's best not to fast-forward or rewind at all.
    • -
- -

Recording one-off programmes

- -

To record every instance of a programme, you can create a file with extension ".rtvfav" in the "favourites" directory inside ~/.recordtv, but if you want to record just one occasion, you need to create a file in "selections" instead. In this case, the file can be completely empty, but the filename must be exactly right. For example:

- -

cd ~/.recordtv/selections
-touch That_ll_Be_The_Day_T-2007-09-23_20_00-channel5.co.uk.rtvsel

- -

... would record a programme called "That'll Be The Day That Was" on 23rd September 2007 at 8pm on Channel 5. The first part of the filename must be 20 characters or fewer, the date and time must be in the format shown, and the channel must be the codename you can find in the XMLTV files that were downloaded to ~/.recordtv/xmltv_files.

- -

Obviously this is quite cumbersome for a human to get right. Someone should write a UI to do this for us...

- -

More sophisticated favourites

- -

You can do some other clever stuff with favourites. For example, create a file inside your favourites directory called "Working.rtvfav" that looks like this:

- -

title_re=Working.*
-deleteAfterDays=2
-channel=choice.bbc.co.uk
-priority=-45

- -

title_re can be any regular expression, deleteafterdays says when the recorded programme will be automatically deleted (this happens during scheduling). channel says only record the programme when it appears on this channel (again, the channel is the code name that may be found in the XMLTV listings), and priority helps Record TV decide which programme to record if two programmes overlap.

- -

The default priority of a favourite is 0, and the default priority of a manual selection is 100. The programme with the higher priority is selected when there is a clash. Negative numbers are allowed. If two programmes with the same priority clash, the one that starts first is recorded, and if they start at the same time, one is chosen at random.

- -

Creating an HTML TV guide

- -

Record TV has one more feature: it can generate a funky Web 2.0 AJAX TV guide from the XMLTV listings it downloads. Just run this command:

- -

./recordtv --generate-html-guide

- -

and a tv guide will appear in ~/.recordtv/recorded_programmes/tvguide. It's not very good at the moment, but it really does use AJAX (so long as you ignore the 'X' part). What a good opportunity for you to learn how this Web 2.0 stuff works, and make it better!

- -

Development

- -

Record TV is very new, and the code is very simple. What a good opportunity for you to get involved and make it cool!

- -

It consists of a Python program, some PHP pages and, perhaps most importantly, some file- and directory-based interfaces which control the behaviour of the code.

- -

An example of these interfaces is the "favourites" directory, which contains files with file extension ".rtvfav" that specify which programmes you wish to record on a regular basis. The interface states what the files should be called, and what they should contain, but allows you to create these files using any UI you like. For example, my Java TV guide programme FreeGuide could be adapted to create them, but I also plan to provide a PyGTK program to do it, and a web interface would be a natural way to do it (in fact, there is the beginnings of a web interface included with Record TV at the moment).

- -

The Python code which forms the guts of Record TV at the moment reads these files (and others which do similar jobs) and acts on that information to schedule recordings using the Unix commands cron and at.

- -

There is also PHP code to display the list of recorded programmes, and there are shell scripts used to do the actual recording.

- -

The obvious areas for improvement are:

- -
    -
  • Fix the stuff that is hard-coded for my computer. Notably, the things that are mentioned in "Getting Started" above.
    • -
  • Create an installer script that automates the "Getting Started" stuff into a nice wizard that asks you a couple of questions before getting on with it.
    • -
  • Write scripts to record to other file formats than flv. flv only really makes sense if you want to watch recordings on a Wii.
    • -
  • Get playback on Wii working properly (i.e. scan back and forward without crashing), possibly using lighthttpd?
    • -
- -

Features you might like to add:

- -
    -
  • A user interface? (Maybe adapt FreeGuide to work with it.)
    • -
  • Recording on multiple TV cards.
    • -
  • Channel orders and mappings for regions other than the UK
    • -
  • Make favourites cleverer
    • -
  • Other ideas welcome...
