Video Disk Recorder File Formats
--------------------------------
* channels.conf
This file contains the channel setup.
It consists of two types of lines: "group delimiters" and "channel
definitions".
A "group delimiter" is a line starting with a ':' as the very first
character, followed by arbitrary text.
Example: ":First group"
A "channel definition" is a line with channel data, where the fields
are separated by ':' characters:
Example: "RTL:12188:h:1:27500:163:104:0:12003"
The fields in a channel definition have the following meaning (from left
to right):
- Name: the channel's name (if the name originally contains a ':' character
it has to be replaced by '|')
- Frequency in MHz (as an integer)
- Polarization (one of 'h', 'H', 'v', 'V')
- Diseqc number
- Symbol rate
- Video PID
- Audio PID
- Conditional Access (0 = Free To Air, 1 = can be decrypted by the first
DVB card, 2 = can be decrypted by the second DVB card)
- Program Number
* timers.conf
This file contains the timer setup.
The fields in a timer definition have the following meaning (from left
to right):
- Timer active (0 = inaactive, 1 = active)
- Program number of the channel to record
- Day of recording, either one or more of
M------ = Monday
-T----- = Tuesday
--W---- = Wednesday
---T--- = Thrusday
----F-- = Friday
-----S- = Saturday
------S = Sunday
(any combination is possible, for example MTWTF--, and the days may be
indicated by any characters except '-', so for example ABC---- would set
a timer that records on monday, tuesday and wednesday) or the "day of month"
(1..31)
- Start time (first two digits for the hour, second two digits for the minutes)
- End time (first two digits for the hour, second two digits for the minutes)
- Priority (from 00 to 99, 00 = lowest prioity, 99 = highest priority)
- Guaranteed lifetime of recording (in days)
- Name of timer (will be used to name the recording)
- Summary
* setup.conf
This file contains the basic configuration options for VDR.
Each line contains one option in the format "Name = Value".
See the MANUAL file for a description of the available options.
* commands.conf
This file contains the definitions of commands that can be executed from
the "Main" menus "Commands" option.
Each line contains one command definition in the following format:
title : command
where 'title' is the string the will be displayed in the "Commands" menu,
and 'command' is the actual command string that will be executed when this
option is selected. The delimiting ':' may be surrounded by any number of
white space characters.
In order to avoid error messages to stderr, every command should have
stderr redirected to stdout. Everything the command prints to stdout will
be displayed in a result window, with 'title' as its title.
Examples:
Check for new mail: /usr/local/bin/checkmail 2>&1
CPU status : /usr/loval/bin/cpustatus 2>&1
Disk space : df -h | grep '/video' | awk '{ print 100 - $5 "% free"; }'
