Hi! I'm using a quite "ugly" solution that might do the thing that you want! I have a server with 4 DVB cards and all the HDD, and the I have a client connected to the server using streamdev. The servers video-directory is mounted using NFS to the client. Whan I want to record something on TV I just ad the timer on the client. The I have a script on the server that is run every minute that connects to the client using SVDRP and lists all timers, if it finds a timer it deletes it and adds the same timer on the server instead. If I start a "direct" recording on the client (presses red in the menu) the cleint starts to record immediately (in the video-directory thats mounted using NFS), after max 1 minute the timer is deleted from the client and moved to the server - the server continues to record in the same directory, so there is only maybe one second of video thats missing It works quite well for me - drop me a mail if youre intrested of the Perl-script (it's really ugly and simple) - lars(at)jpl.se /Lars Thus spake Uwe Ortner (uwe.ortner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx): > Hello, > > any chance to initiate (from client) a recording via SVDRP on a server? > > For this, some information such as channel number, time/date should be > parsed from a highlighted entry (submenu "program") to SVDRP.
