View source for GoGoMini - Simple Software For Controlling gorecord

[[Image:Gogo-mini-1.2.png|thumb|300px|right|GoGoMini in action!]]
GoGoMini is a very simple front-end for gorecord, a program that enables you record video/audio from devices supported by the WIS-Go7007 Linux driver.

== Why? ==
Because who honestly wants to set up mythtv just to be able to record video? For me, writing my own software was the only graphical, viable alternative. Plus I got to learn Python!

== What does it do? ==
As is stated in the title, this software (for the time being) is a very simple solution so it doesn't do too much. <br>
For now you can:
* Set the duration of the recording
* Set the bitrate to record at
* Set a delay before it starts recording
* Choose the default save directory for all your recordings
* Choose the input to record from
* Supports [[WIS_Go7007_Linux_driver#Making_long_recordings|long recordings]]

Other settings can be changed in the configuration file (~/gogo-mini/settings) or you'll have to edit the source (don't be afraid, it's simple enough).

== Prerequisites ==

* A copy of gorecord from a patched version of the WIS Go7007 driver. I've prepared a driver that seems to work fine on early 2007 versions of the Fedora and Ubuntu kernels with full install instructions at the following page: [[WIS Go7007 Linux driver]]
* Python, Pygtk and Python-libglade (should be included with most distros)

== Installation ==
