Primitive but, I use crontab to schedule like this :
57 20 21 2 * /root/bin/tzap -c /root/.tzap/channels.conf -r 'f tn'
58 20 21 2 * /bin/cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 >
/fifty/video/Colin_Fry_210204.mpeg
04 22 21 2 * /fifty/video/kill_record.sh
05 22 21 2 * /fifty/video/kill_tune.sh
# cat /fifty/video/kill_record.sh
#!/bin/sh
PID=`ps -ef |grep adapter0|grep -v grep|awk '{ print $2 }'`
kill -1 $PID
# cat /fifty/video/kill_tune.sh
#!/bin/sh
PID=`ps -ef |grep channels|grep -v grep|awk '{ print $2 }'`
kill -1 $PID
then on my XP box I just double click the .mpeg file (from a samba share),
and it loads in Windows Media Player Classic.
