This might be a bit of a monster to package. Freevo can be had from deb "http://freevo.sourceforge.net/debian unstable main" in your apt sources list.Look at Knoppmyth. Those guys have a special stripped down Knoppix to install MythTV (a similar program to freevo with more functionality). Believe me, Knoppmyth was a god-send to those who had trouble installing MythTV. You might want to try packaging WebVCR+. http://webvcrplus.sourceforge.net/ It is a similar, but way simplified project utilizing Perl. Look at its requirements though. http://webvcrplus.sourceforge.net/requirements.html This may not really work either unless you can get the TV card detected and setup by DamnSmall. Back when I was messing with Flonix, a DamnSmall derivative, I think it had auto detect for TV cards and I know that full-blown Knoppix does. That is a very complex process to setup by hand and you may not be able to save your changes that will make it work. Good Luck and I hope you get one of them to work, I just wanted to warn you. For all of them you need Mplayer. If you really make one of these into a .dsl, you may want to include all the requirements (Mplayer, Xine, python, php, Mysql, etc.) or have a script that sets DSL up to use apt-get (install dsl-dpkg, then change the apt/sources.list) and then grabs all the requirements. Did I mention it will be complex? Posted by mpie on Aug. 17 2004,07:30
i beleive freevo in particular uses both mplayer and xine.......sounds like a mammoth task.... good on yer for trying... |
