readme.vcrtimer

这个软件的功能同我上次传的那个avifile.也是linux上的一个用于多媒体应用的源码。

vcrtimer.pl:
	This script allows easy programming of VCR like a conventional
VCR.  It is written by David Sobon <[e-mail]> - all
bugs, ideas, experience and flames can be sent to him.  First, the
configuration file "~/.vcrtimerrc" must be created or copied from
"sample.vcrtimerrc".  Once edited and confirmed with "vcrtimer.pl -l",
run "crontab -e" as root and add the cron line as specified at the top
of "vcrtimer.pl".

The format of the file is as follows:
	[global]	- global label that applies to all sublabels
			  note: sublabel definitions override global

	[*other*]	- sub-label that defines individual programs
			* Example: [CNN News]

	dir		- prefix directory to save video files
			* Example: dir = /data/

	cron_interval	- maximum allowable sleep interval for script.
			* Example: cron_interval = 1h

	filename	- filename the video is saved as.
			* Example: filename = cnn_news.avi
			* Example: filename = cnn_news-#DATE#.avi
			  #DATE# is expanded to YYYYMMDD
			  #DAY# is expanded to name of day

	channel		- channel preset as defined in .vcrrc
			  (vcr should read /etc/X11/xawtvrc aswell!!!)
			* Example: channel = CNN

	time		- time when program begins
			* Example: time = 1700
			* Example: time = 5pm
			* Example: time = 5:10pm

	duration	- the length of program to record
			* Example: duration = 1h
			* Example: duration = 1h 2m 3s
			* Example: duration = 3hours 5minutes

	date		- the day or date the program should be recorded
			* Example: date = Mon-Wed,Thur,Fri
			* Example: date = 16 April
			* Example: date = Tuesday

	kill_xawtv	- if xawtv is running in background, kill
			  before invoking "vcr"
			* Example: kill_xawtv = 1

	miss_if_xawtv	- if xawtv is running in background, don't
			  record tv program
			* Example: miss_if_xawtv = 1

	vcr_args	- extra flags to parse to "vcr"
			* Example: vcr_args = -w 3,22,378,245

	codec		- codec preset as defined in .vcrrc
			* Example: codec = divx 1600

	quiet		- don't print out anything if recording
			* Example: quiet = 1
