PVR-Remote is a simple PyGTK app that I wrote to control my Hauppauge PVR-150 video capture card. It allows you to change channels and select the Composite or S-Video input.<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
<br />
Installation is quite simple because all the code is contained in one executable python script. <br /><br />
If you'd like to test it out do the following:<br />
cd ~/Desktop<br />
wget http://nikosapi.org/software/pvr-remote.py -O pvr-remote<br />
python ./pvr-remote<br />
<br />
If you like it and would like to install it just make the file executable and stick in ~/bin or /usr/local/bin<br />
sudo mv ~/Desktop/pvr-remote /usr/local/bin<br />
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pvr-remote<br />
<br />
Then you can add an application launcher in your favorite window manager so you don't have to run 'pvr-remote' each time you want to use it.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
The application is pretty straightforward, choose a channel number and press 'Watch!' <br /><br />
Here are the functions of the other buttons:<br />
* Comp/Svid: Switch to the Composite/S-Video input right away<br />
* Ch- and Ch+: Change channel by one or minus one (Only works on Tuner input)<br />
* Set: Change channel but don't attempt to open a media player<br />
* Watch: Change to the specified channel and open a media player or if a media player is open just change channel<br />
<br />
== Configuration ==<br />
<br />
There are 3 options that might be useful to configure in the script:<br />
* DEVICE: Choose the /dev/video* device to stream video from (Default: /dev/video0)<br />
* VIDEO_PLAYER: Choose your prefered media player (Default: /usr/bin/mplayer)<br />
* PLAYER_ARGUMENTS: Configure any special options you wish to pass to the media player<br />
** Default: '-msglevel all=-1 -nolirc -cache 4096 -vf pp=lb ' + DEVICE<br />
** You might want to remove the -nolirc option if you use lirc with mplayer<br />
** Set cache to a higher value if the video is often choppy<br />
** The default video filter is the linear blend deinterlacer (lb), see the mplayer man page for more options.</div>Nikosapi
