ptune.pl ============================================ This script provides a means for a user to change the tuner frequency. It is dependant on Marc Lehmann's Video-Capture-V4l package, ptune-ui.pl is a graphical interface, which also relies on Tk.pm. It also depends on Video::ivtv, Getopt::Long and the updated Video::Frequencies packages. 1) Load the ivtv.o module (and any supporting modules) 2) Run the ptune script: $ ptune.pl 11 Ch.11: 199250 3118 3) cat /dev/video0 > filename.mpg or use record-v4l2.pl to record video from your tuned in tv station. NOTES: ptune.pl now supports specifying the frequency table to use, etc. Run ptune.pl without any arguments or with -h/--help to get usage info. ptune.pl now supports reading profiles from the ~/.ivtvrc config file. This will allow those people who have to make a custom channel mapping to specify it as a profile section and then call ptune.pl specifying the "channel" as the --profile argument to tune in the correct frequency. Ex: Custom channel mapping for channel 23, frequency = 1234567. in ~/.ivtvrc after the [defaults] section is done, add: [23] Frequency=1234567 You can now do: ptune.pl --profile 23 and have it tune to frequency 1234567 for you. Note: The frequency above is totally fake! You can now alternatively use the new custom freqtable support to do the same: ptune.pl --freqtable custom 23 would tune in the frequency specified by profile 23 in your config file. If you want to get a listing of available channels for the frequency table you are using, do: ptune.pl --list-channels Make sure you specify the --freqtable option before --list-channels otherwise it will use the default in the program or from your ~/.ivtvrc config file. TODO: * Add options to ptune.pl to switch to the S-Video and Composite inputs. If you want that now, use record-v4l2.pl and specify the --no-record option to just mimic ptune.pl. It will let you set all the available options.
