Overview
This project was developed for air monitoring, video reports (on DVD media) preparation.
Software complex consists of two parts
- 1. PVR - video recorder, video preview and audio level monitoring, rotating recorded video (delete older parts to keep spool size in fixed size).
- 2. web-oriented application for DVD building.
Hardware requirements
PVR uses video capture card with hardware MPEG-2 encoder (see ivtv projects for details).
Recorder MPEG-2 stream saved to hard disk, the large disk space - the more video could be saved. :-))
DirectFB is used for GUI.
Downloads
Current version 1.0 (-r42):
- airrec-1.0-r42.tar.bz2 - source code
Build/Install/Configure
- 1. Download source code from link above and unpack.
cd /usr/local/src wget http://research.m1stereo.tv/downloads/airrec/airrec-1.0-r42.tar.bz2 bzip2 -cd airrec-1.0-r42.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
- 2. Make sure that installed additional packets:
- DirectFB-devel
- sqlite-devel-3.1.2-3
- 3. Go to source code dir and compile
cd airrec cd src make
If DirectFB was installed from rpm you need fix INCLUDES variable in Makefile.
- 4. Directory structure preparation:
/opt/airrec- programs and scripts dir./var/spool/airrec/live- directory for db file and live streams./var/spool/airrec/live/ch0- directory for saving MPEG-2 fragments for channel 0./var/spool/airrec/dvd/master- built dvd storage/var/spool/airrec/dvd/temp- temparatiry storage for dvd building.
- 5. Copying file:
#main executable cp /usr/local/src/airrec/src/airrec /opt/airrec # database file for storing info about fragments cp /usr/local/src/airrec/src/airrec.db /var/spool/airrec/live # mpeg coder setup scripts and srt file making scripts cp /usr/local/src/airrec/scripts/airrec_srt_creator.pl /opt/airrec cp /usr/local/src/airrec/scripts/airrec_srt_watcher.sh /opt/airrec cp /usr/local/src/airrec/scripts/ivtv.setup.CODEC.sh /opt/airrec cp /usr/local/src/airrec/scripts/ivtv.setup.INPUT.sh /opt/airrec
- 6. Configuration file for recorder (sample, 1 channel, 2x80GB stripe for video storing):
db-file=/var/spool/airrec/live/airrec.db use-channel=0 ident="M1 [main]" dev-pcm=/dev/video24 dev-yuv=/dev/video32 dev-mpeg=/dev/video0 spool=/var/spool/airrec/live/ch0 spool-limit=140000 #noflip vsync=25 syslog=6
Some parameters explanations:
db-file=<filename> <i>database file name for storin info about fragments</i> fb-mode=<mode str> <i>Setup FrameBuffer mode ( default "1024,768,32")</i> use-channel=<N> <i>Activate channel N and apply further options to that channel</i> ident=<N> <i>Channel ident</i> dev-pcm=<filename> dev-yuv=<filename> dev-mpeg=<filename> spool=<PATH> <i>Location where mpg file stored</i> spool-limit=<N> <i>Limit stored spool to <N> Megabytes</i> vsync=<N> <i>Try to redraw screen at <N> fps.</i> noflip <i>Disable surface flipping mode.</i> config=<filename> <i>Use config file.</i> syslog=<N> <i>Use LOG_LOCAL<N> facility for syslogging.</i>
