Report DVB Manager Week 9



Blog post at http://www.k-d-w.org/node/52

Last week my second DVB-T adapter arrived. Therefore, I was able to test whether recording on multiple devices that are part of the same group works. At first it didn't and I had to do quite some refactoring to get it working. Nevertheless, it finally works.
In addition, I tried to add support of recording multiple channels that 
are part of the same transport stream. The code is there, but it behaves 
weird. First, both recordings stopped when the second recording started. 
Pausing the pipeline when changing dvbbasebin's program-number property 
resulted in a working recording for the first channel and a damaged 
recording for the second (there was no video and sound from the first one).
I still have another problem with GStreamer core + base 0.10.20 and bad 
from cvs on Ubuntu hardy. It gives me criticals and segfaults when 
retrieving EPG of one particular channel. I could confirm this on 
another machine with the same setup. Unfortunately, Zaheer isn't able to 
reproduce this.
Beside working on the recording stuff, I started creating an assistant 
that will guide the user through the process of setting up his or her 
DVB card. It's far from complete and doesn't do anything useful, yet.
Furthermore, I started working on a prototype of a Rhythmbox plugin to 
listen to DVB radio[1]. Despite the fact that it's actually working 
there's still a lot to do.
Things that changed, too:

    * Added RemoveDeviceFromGroup and DeleteDeviceGroup methods
* Remove channels_conf and recordings_dir parameter from AddDeviceToExistingGroup because they are overwritten anyway. * Added Get(Radio|TV)Channels and IsRadioChannel methods to ChannelList interface
Next week I'm concentrating on the setup assistant and I should finally 
make some process on the EPG part.
