Tvcplayer
 

Does anyone know how to record on this?

I have started recording 1min of tv, but it never actually stopped recording. I then exited out after a while.

Then I tried opening the saved file but it wont open with anything.... i tried KM player, sib and the nokia media player.

Anyone know how to play the recording, or get it to stop?

Re: Tvcplayer
 

i will have a go at recording...i just use it to watch live so have never tested the function.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

Your not the first person to say that to me....

I find that really odd. I think the record function is the best part about the app!!

How good it would be if I could work it to record tv running in the background of my phone, at a scheduled time. I could record programs and be able to watch when ever I want!

ok...i selected bbc1 to record for 2 mins...then xterminal downloaded the data and closed after 2 mins...then i tried to access /home/user/MyDocs/rec.ts is were the file is stored.
to get to that i went to xterminal
then:
sudo gainroot which took me to /home/user

then typed MyDocs/rec.ts

it reported Permision denied....can someone help with this please.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

how do i gain access to /home/user/MyDocs/rec.ts ?

Re: Tvcplayer
 

You can just go to file manager and click on the file but it wont open with any apps

Re: Tvcplayer
 

edit...found file in File manager Nokia N900/


i selected open with media player and it wont open it....then tried kmplayer and that failed to play it also.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

yep looks like i am getting the same probs as you 051enough.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

as it plays via mplayer i would of thought the kmplayer would of worked?


i noticed that the 2 mins i recored has come up in the media player as being 27:56 also.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

also in the details for the file type it is given as a message catalogue?

Re: Tvcplayer
 

That will be the res maybe... they aren't high quality.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

27:56 mins is what the media reported it as....in details the file type is noted as being a message catalogue file....whats that?

Re: Tvcplayer
 

Go to kmplayer menu 'Select Player' and select mplayer, then try again.

I hope to implement in a future release that kmplayer tries both gstreamer and mplayer.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

Just type in xterm

Or what ever the path is the the recording and it will play in mplayer.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

THATS AMAZING.... THANKS!!!!!!

I didn't realise that I needed to change the options in KM player.

Works a treat! WHAT A FANTASTIC APP!

WOW... To record live TV on your mobile...

I think that is incredible.

Thank you so much for your help!

Re: Tvcplayer
 

Thanks a million works a treat.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

again thanks a million...works perfectly....dont know how i forgot to select mplayer....doh!

thankyou.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

Would it be possible to add "Dave Tv" & or "Yesterday" at some point in the future please?
They are two stations i watch a lot on my pc but when trying directly from tvc web site on the n900 on low bandwidth it plays with a huge lag and is not watchable.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

Can you skip through the recording on m player? I tried using the scroll bar but wouldn't work.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

Also can you re adjust the audio if it goes out of sync?

Re: Tvcplayer
 

Use the + and - keys on the keybord. Mine takes 2 + to get in perfect sync.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

I love TVC on my n900 but the only thing I have a problem with is how to get out of it. I can't shut it down. I have been randomly pressing keys on the keyboard and it closes eventually but I have no idea what keys I press.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

Press f to exit full screen mode then press the x.It will automatically close xterm.
Or install Camkeyd to use the camera key to get back to dashboard.

Re: Tvcplayer
 

Thanks casper. Perfect.
