Utility: Web Radio and TV Encoder

[michaeldjcox]

I find that SageTV is usually happy if I let its last few NOOP requests to the encoder happen after a recording before restarting the encoder.

When it isn't - if left long enough SageTV will eventually try to connect to the restarted encoder.

I usually get bored before it does so I go to source setup and select the network encoder.

You should see in the encoder log that it springs into life with a few NOOP messages.

The next challenge for you is probably the grabber (although you can use without guide data initially).

Also I'm pretty sure that the VLC commands in the streamAsVideo and saveAsMp3 properties have a different syntax for command line arguments in linux. Only one dash instead of two or some such madness.

I read it somewhere - I will have to try and locate the page again.

If these VLC command line arguments aren't right there will be no mp3 file generated in the tmp directory and no video recording in your sageTV recording dir.

UPDATE: I think the VLC documentation I saw was out of date - think it may well work as is
