Linux-DVB-DVBT-Apps-QuartzPVR ============================= Linux::DVB::DVBT::Apps::QuartzPVR is a package that includes a web frontend EPG for scheduling DVB-T recordings. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install INSTALL QUESTIONS When you run 'perl Makefile.PL' a number of questions are asked to determine your setup. The answers are then embedded into various config files in the installation. Questions asked are: * SQL_ROOT_PASSWORD - MySQL root user password so I can create the pvr database The root user password for your MySQL server. This allows the installation to create the new MySQL user and database used for the tv guide. * DVBT_FREQFILE - full path to DVB-T tuning frequency file (usually under /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t) Give the path to the frequency file. This is used by dvbt-scan to initialise the tuner. * MAIL_TO - email account to mail PVR errors to Give a mail account (e.g. fred@bloggs) to which all script errors will be sent. This is useful for cases where a program has failed to record. * SERVER_PORT - TCP port of the new PVR server that I will install Specify a different TCP port number for the PVR server to use. The server provides the interface between the scheduling Perl script and the web frontend * WEB_USER - user name of the web server User name that your web server uses (e.g. on Ubuntu this is www-data) * WEB_GROUP - group name of the web server Group name that your web server uses (e.g. on Ubuntu this is www-data) * SQL_USER - username of the MySQL pvr database owner Change the MySQL username that will be created for the tv guide database * SQL_PASSWORD - password of the MySQL pvr database owner Change the MySQL password that will be used for the tv guide database * PVR_USER - Linux user name created for recording Specify a username to use for running the recording scripts. By default a new system user will be created, but you can also specify an existing user. Note that recordings are added to that user's crontab * PVR_GROUP - Linux group name for PVR_USER Specify a group to use for running the recording scripts. By default uses 'video' to allow access to the DVB-T drivers. * PVR_LOGDIR - location of PVR logs A directory under which all PVR logs are stored * DATABASE - PVR database name The MySQL database name to use for the tv guide * VIDEO_DIR - Video recording top-level directory The directory under which all videos are recorded * AUDIO_DIR - Audio recording top-level directory The directory under which all audio files are recorded * PVR_ROOT - Installation directory. This is where all of the PVR software is installed. This is where the web frontend files (PHP, CSS, Javascript) are installed. You will need to add an entry to your web server configuration to allow access to this directory (and it is up to you to protect site access). DEPENDENCIES To run the web frontend you need to have installed: web server (preferably apache) php MySql a dvb package (to provide the initial frequency file) This module requires these other modules and libraries: use App::Framework ; use Linux::DVB::DVBT ; use Linux::DVB::DVBT::TS ; use Linux::DVB::DVBT::Advert ; use MP3::Tag ; use DBI ; use DBD::mysql ; OPTIONAL If you have access to the BBC iplayer, you can schedule iplayer file downloads via the EPG. To do this you need to install get_iplayer from http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer/html/get_iplayer.html COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2011 by Steve Price This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself, either Perl version 5.8.8 or, at your option, any later version of Perl 5 you may have available.
