nowalmartWile I have been stuck in bed I decided to finish up some hacking I started last week. I have basically completed my rewrite of eyeTV FTW. I am still trying to figure out exactly what I want this program to do. Currently it just downloads the .mpeg to the remote computer. That is nice, I am just not sure f I want it to do more.
I played around with the idea of then serving the file via Darwin Streaming Server. I have not completely thrown that idea out yet, but I did move on to other things.
I turned my on eyeCal.php, a PHP script that sllows you to view recorded and scheduled eyeTV recordings in iCal. Since I had done so much work with eyeTV FTW, it was not terribly difficult once I figured out some of the iCal file spec.
The hardes part of all of it has been working with time zones. PHP 5.2's timezone support is still in infancy, it seems. I finally got it working, though, and each file is now about a quarter as long as the original was.
As soon as I get the code completely cleaned up I definitely plan on releasing it to the world. I definitely plan on much bigger and better things from my eyeTV system. This is just the beginning.

Update...
Date: 2007-04-01 01:49 am (UTC)Today I also worked on turning the recordings into an RSS feed (http://mysite.verizon.net/garden_room/pic2.png).
Then I went the next step and created a Dashboard widget (http://mysite.verizon.net/garden_room/pic3.png) of the RSS feed.
Pretty useless at this point, but I learned a lot in the process.
