Is there a bash command to make the Tivo start recording.
I want to take the tivo insides and place them with a good quality camera to record. I will use a PIC for control and can use something similar to PlayStream for playback. The PIC being just to output the correct Bash strings to the serial port depending on which button was pressed. I don't have a command to make the Tivo record and stop recording.
To go with this I would like to use laptop hard drives because they stand movement better and would really like to use 10 Gb in a changeable carriage. The problem here is that my image will only restore to 30Gb or more discs. Is there a way to make my image restore to a 10 Gb drive or am I building an image from scratch, not something that seems to be too straightforward.
Next step, this would not be in the same Tivo. I would hopefully remove the files from the recording Tivo and transfer them to another Tivo via Tivonet.
I would like to be able to play a stream and mark an entry point, play another stream and mark an exit point then hit "GO" and the output stream would change from one file to the other at the marked point or a third stream would be created with the composite of the two original files. This is what Adobe Premier does when editing vides. Will this be a script thing or is it likely to need new binaries to achieve it. I realise that without I to P conversion I cannot get frame accurate splicing but at this time I am not concerned with that, I am not sure that the processor in a Tivo could achieve the I to P conversion in reasonable time anyway unless SW is written to invoke the MPEG chips on the board. This is way beyond my capabilities.
I have tried to read what I can about things but realise that I have probably missed some things that are relevant. Please do not flame me if you know of some links where these points may be addressed just give me the link and I will go and read
