==Description==
[[Image:Analogtv-plugin(setup).jpg|thumb|Setup]]

The '''analogtv plugin''' makes it possible to use analog TV with [[VDR]]. The DVB card is used as output device. For VDR, the analogtv plugin behaves like a DVB budget card.

Supported are analog-TV cards (with or without hardware MPEG encoder) and video-grabber cards. So not only a TV tuner can be used, one can record from webcams or VCRs as well.

If you use an ivtv based TV card, you may use one of the other plugins as well: [http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Category:AnalogTV Category:AnalogTV]

==Hardware requirements==
* analog TV card (BTTV or ivtv driver)
* realtime MPEG encoder, hardware (e.g. Hauppauge PVR250/350, or software)

==Software requirements==
* Software MPEG encoder if no supported hardware encoder is present
* For the PVR250/350 the newest [http://www.ivtv.tv/releases/ drivers] are needed.
* libdvb
* Video4Linux2 (v4l2)
* ALSA sound driver

==Installation==
There are two changes to libdvb. First, in ''libdvbmpeg/transform.c'' replace
 static void pes_in_ts(p2p *p)

with
 void pes_in_ts(p2p *p)

and in ''dvb-mpegtools/Makefile'' replace
 install -m 755 dvb_show_image $(PREFIX)/bin/

with
 install -m 755 show_dvb_image $(PREFIX)/bin/

Now libdvb can be installed
 cd $SOURCEDIR
 tar xvzf libdvb-<VERSION>.tar.gz
 cd libdvb-<VERSION>
 make
 make install
 ldconfig

For the rest of the installation see the README file and See [[plugin installation]].

==Problems==
* For ivtv > 0.1.9, set ''VPID=301'' and ''APID=300'' in the '''channels.conf'''
