[vdr] Re: Multiuser?

["Simon Dean" <linux-dvb@sickhack.com>]

I wrote dvbcap with the intention of it being lean and mean.  It
performs all the file io (writing to a file or writing to a stream).  

dvbstream was not flexible enough in its current version to allow me to
get dvbr up and running quickly.  

I only got my DTT card about 2 or 3 weeks ago and was shocked to find
that the windows software did not contain any sort of Timer Record
feature.  I read about VDR with the hope that it would be suitable for
my needs but discovered (though I think this isn't actually the case)
that it didn't work without at least one full (ie non budget) card in
the machine.  Also VDR is based around the idea of a fully digital VCR
whereas I wanted a system that was based around a Networked Video
Recorder.  I don't even own a TV (I'm a student).  Hence I set about
working on my own project.

Subject: [vdr] Multiuser?

Greetings,

I would like to build a Linux VDR System. When I was studying the former
mails a few questions remained unanswered.

1. What options do I have in creating multi-user Support for the VDR.
What I've in mind is a server with three primary DVB-S cards. Every
primary card is connected to a TV set. Then secondary cards should be
used for recording. I seems that is not possible with vdr. Are there any
plans in developing multi-user support for the vdr? What alternatives do
I have? I want a system with shared harddisk content of the recored
material.

2. When I share harddisk space with other user, what option do I've in
hide one partition? (everyone should access the hole archive, but noone
have to know the I watch Sabrina) A small partition should be enough -
about 20GBs.

BTW: I would like to read me through anything; are there any howtos,
faq, manuals or something like that available?

Thanx
