I wish projects would have a short "what this is" paragraph. Right now, the front page is a forum, "docs" says the documentation is maintained by users and links to the changelog, and there's nothing anywhere that tells me what this project does.
- josh3736 6mo agoAgreed the website is poorly organized, but if you click About, you get that paragraph: https://tvheadend.org/p/about https://tvheadend.org/p/about > Tvheadend is the leading TV streaming server and recorder for Linux supporting ATSC, DVB-C/C2, DVB-S/S2, DVB-T/T2, ISDB-T, IPTV, SAT>IP and HDHomeRun input sources. Tvheadend outputs HTTP (VLC, MPlayer), HTSP (Kodi, Movian) and SAT>IP streams, and can ingest multiple Electronic Program Guide (EPG) formats including over-the-air (OTA) broadcast data for DVB and ATSC, and OpenTV extensions like XMLTV and PyXML. So it's a DVR project in the vein of TiVo and Windows Media Center.
- stavros 6mo agoAh nice, thank you.
- simonjgreen 6mo agoStreaming, not DVR. Think TV to IP
- predakanga 6mo agoIt does include a fairly full-featured DVR system - I used to use it with Kodi to record shows off DVB-T.
- simonjgreen 6mo agoOh, I must be misremembering. I also used to use it with XBMC/Kodi, but I recalled kodi itself being the dvr element. Or maybe I’m even conflating it with plex. It has been a minute :D
