Jeg arbejder p.t. - og det er jo altid et løbende projekt - på mit Media Center setup på Apple Platformen, med disse devices i huset:
Hardware Software MacMini with OS/X Elgato EyeTV iMac with OS/X HandBrake (And HandBrake CLI) Apple TV gen 1 VLC (VideoLAN Client) NetGear ReadyNAS 2 x DELL pc's with Windows iPhone 3Gs iPad gen. 1 Elgato Hybrid USB Stick Terratec T5
Tanker
Apple er godt, men en meget lukket platform, på Windows maskiner er der ikke meget andet end iTunes.
Der bør være en høj ensartedhed i styring og brug af interfaces, ikke mindst for de andre familiemedlemmers skyld, derfor er XBMC et naturligt valg
Det skal være nemt at optage og se TV på alle devices i Huset.
Det er et problem at Elgato er delvist Apple og ikke åben standard, XBMC kan ofte ikke afspille formatet, derfor har jeg gang i et lille projekt med at konvertere Elgato optagelser til flad MPEG, se Projekt
The export can be done with several applications, I am using Handbrake with the Command Line Interface (CLI) and VLC (to try and get subtitles out also, as Handbrake cant do this for some channels)
Download the HandBrake CLI and put it into "Applications"
Download VLC
Download my eyetvexport.sh script and correct paths to Your installation
Setup SSH Keys on OS/X and the NAS
Set Crontab to run the script every day
Problems still not solved:
Find does not take account for files that are currently recorded (some -atime parameter missing)
Not solved
Exporting DR HD Content make the solution extremely poor.. Solved by manually setting Handbrake CLI parameters!
Exporting DR HD and TV 2 DK content is without subtitles, due to the special format this is transmitted in.
Work in progress with channel identification and VLC transcoding.
