I’m currently looking for an app to record IPTV from my router. I already found that there are several open source applications for watching IPTV like VLC. But none of them supports programmed recordings, so I always have to press record manually, which I don’t want.
Do you have any recommendations for apps that supports Fedora, in which I can program recordings for certain TV shows?
Just an incentive with regards to vlc: if you have vlc installed, you also find in your terminal the command cvlc , which is a console variant of vlc.
In case you don’t find something ore suitable, I could imagine you can script something with cvlc commands and python or so (I assume if the graphical vlc can record, the console variant has an option for that too, and with python or so, you can add a timer with a sleep function or so). Of course you can also start the normal vlc from terminal and add some options/data with which it is started.
Just a worst case alternative, in case there is nothing suitable graphical at the moment.
I haven’t looked into it, but I wonder if Kodi’s Simple IPTV PVR could be configured to do recording; or if not that Simple plugin then another IPTV PVR backend?
thanks for the recommendation, sounds nice in general. the problem is, to get epg data, kodi requires an xmltv file, which my router doesn’t provide. having epg data directly in kodi would make recording so much easier. vlc somehow manages to pull this data from the stream directly. so an application which supports scheduled recordings and gets epg data from the stream directly would be ideal.
