Summary

XdTV is a software that allows you to watch, record & stream TV.

It interacts with AleVT for Teletext and Nxtvepg for NextView.

It uses the v4l/v4l2, bktr & DVB APIs. It can use some deinterlacing filters

and can record video files in various containers (AVI, MPEG, OGG, etc.) with many codecs:

FFMpeg, XviD, Ogg Theora & Vorbis, DivX.

It has also some plugin capabilities.

Caution

  • ONLY XdTV version 2.4.0 and higher is DVB-T compatible.
  • WE CURRENTLY ONLY SUPPORT DVB-T

Features

  • XdTV 2.4.0 is the first Analogic & DVB-T version:
  • Scanning DVB channels is fully supported.
  • An offset can be set in case of scanning problem (usefull for some cards).
  • Possibility to switch from one channel to another through a GUI.
  • The DVB-T initialization is always synchronized with the LinuxTV data.
  • Possibilities to record & stream a DVB-T show.
  • You need to install the SDL and Curl libraries to use the XdTV DVB-T support.

Todo

  • The DVB-T Teletext, Nextview don't work yet.

Install & test it

	$>xdtv -dvb

Note:

  • 1) You can switch from a dvb channel to another one but no to an analogic(V4l/v4l2) one ! This feature should be supported in the next release of XdTV.
  • 2) When your init file has been downloaded, and if you have some problem to detect the DVB-T networks, you can try some frequency offsets in the "DVB init" GUI : choose the offset you want and click on "scan". No need to download and save the init file at every time you change the offset.
