Revision as of 12:14, 28 March 2006

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 saving MPEG-2 fragments.
  • /var/spool/airrec/dvd/master - built dvd storage
  • /var/spool/airrec/dvd/temp - temparatiry storage for dvd building.
