I know that this part of the code is really slow, thats why i tried to store the channels list in a sqlite database. (On my system with around 1600 channels it takes about 25 seconds to update the channels list.) My python knowledge is not that good atm, because i just started programming in python 2 weeks ago, so i would really appreciate patches, if you can improve the code.
(Do you have a working scratchbox installation? (MobileVDR can be tested fairly well in Scratchbox))
(You can get the source-code from Garage.)

That'd be very helpful, thanks.

Excellent, that's what I was hoping. Modifying tablet-encode so that you can do:

Code:

tablet-encode foo output.avi

...where "foo" is a directory containing *.vdr should be trivial.

Now, I'd like if you added multiple languages to the metadata, and pass the corresponding aid to mencoder, so I can procrastinate even more , no, seriously, that would be a useful option.

Good idea. The problem will be making the UI. But I don't want to hijack the MobileVDR thread, so I'll have a think about it offline.

Cheers,

Andrew

I'd prefer

Code:

tablet-encode output.avi input1 [input2..]

so you can leave the input files as the last argument of mencoder:

Code:

mencoder -option1 -option2 -option3 -o output.avi input1 [input2..]

Good idea. The problem will be making the UI. But I don't want to hijack the MobileVDR thread, so I'll have a think about it offline.

You could just add a languages array to the metadata, and display a link for each language like, e.g. [eng][ita], etc., add to the url an "aid=0" parameter for the first language, "aid=1" for the second and so on, then make mediaserv look for the aid parameter in the url and pass that to mencoder.
Once you do that, I promise I'll start hacking vdr support into mediaserv
