VPS Signal Plugin for exactly timed recordings?


X-Tester

Recommended Posts

In the days of VCR and VHS Reording there was (still is?) a system called VPS Timer. It informs the recorder of changes in starting and end times of a recording. eg. A Movie on TV was set to start at 20:15 hours but du to some issues it will start a few minutes later.

 

VPS kicked in an started the recorder accordingly.

 

Is this possible with DVB-(T/S) and if yes could you provide/program a plugin for this?

 

 

Many thx

Even if there is no vps signal in the data stream there is a simple solution to realize this feature in your software.

 

Why dont you evaluate the epg info ?

There should be enough information you need to know.

 

Workflow:

After the user has selected the tv show he wants to record via the epg guide of your software the DVBViewer tunes the correct frequency and reads the epg info awaiting the start of the show....

 

 

Kind regards,

"Should" is the keyword. The tv-stations do interprete the specification very widely and with a lot of fantasy. ;)

 

So there is no guaranteed way this would work.
