TV Recording

  • Electronic program guide (EPG) with XMLTV (source: yle.fi or

katso.fi)

  • Scheduling based on the EPG:

– single program recording – repeated recordings based on the program’s name

  • Safety time-padding (start recording 5 min earlier than EPG time,

stop recording 5 minutes later)

  • Automatic TV commercial detection when recording, skipped when

watching (based on black frames)
