Video Disk Recorder File Formats
--------------------------------
* channels.conf
This file contains the channel setup.
It consists of two types of lines: "group delimiters" and "channel
definitions".
A "group delimiter" is a line starting with a ':' as the very first
character, followed by arbitrary text.
Example: ":First group"
A "channel definition" is a line with channel data, where the fields
are separated by ':' characters:
Example: "RTL:12188:h:1:27500:163:104:105:0:12003"
The fields in a channel definition have the following meaning (from left
to right):
- Name: the channel's name (if the name originally contains a ':' character
it has to be replaced by '|')
- Frequency in MHz for DVB-S and DVB-C, kHz for DVB-T (as an integer)
- Polarization (one of 'h', 'H', 'v', 'V') **
- Diseqc number **
- Symbol rate ***
- Video PID (set to '0' for radio channels, '1' for encrypted radio channels)
- Audio PID (either one number, or two, separated by a comma)
If this channel also carries Dolby Digital sound, the Dolby PIDs follow
the audio PIDs, separated by a semicolon, as in "...:101,102;103,104:..."
- Teletext PID
- Conditional Access (0 = Free To Air, 1 = can be decrypted by the first
DVB card, 2 = can be decrypted by the second DVB card)
- Program Number
Fields marked with ** are only meaningful for DVB-S receivers.
DVB-C and DVB-T receivers simply ignore these.
Fields marked with *** are only meaningful for DVB-S and DVB-C receivers.
DVB-T receivers simply ignore these.
* timers.conf
This file contains the timer setup.
The fields in a timer definition have the following meaning (from left
to right):
- Timer active (0 = inactive, 1 = active)
Values larger than '1' can be used by external programs to mark active timers
and recognize if the user has modified them. When a user modifes an active
timer the 'active' field will be explicitly set to '1'.
- Program number of the channel to record
- Day of recording, either one or more of
M------ = Monday
-T----- = Tuesday
--W---- = Wednesday
---T--- = Thrusday
----F-- = Friday
-----S- = Saturday
------S = Sunday
(any combination is possible, for example MTWTF--, and the days may be
indicated by any characters except '-', so for example ABC---- would set
a timer that records on monday, tuesday and wednesday) or the "day of month"
(1..31)
- Start time (first two digits for the hour, second two digits for the minutes)
- End time (first two digits for the hour, second two digits for the minutes)
- Priority (from 0 to 99, 0 = lowest prioity, 99 = highest priority)
- Guaranteed lifetime of recording (in days); 0 means that this recording may
be automatically deleted by a new recording with higher priority, 99 means
that this recording will never be automatically deleted
- Name of timer (will be used to name the recording); if the name contains
any ':' characters, these have to be replaced with '|'. If the name shall
contain subdirectories, these have to be delimited by '~' (since the '/'
character may be part of a regular programme name).
The special keywords TITLE and EPISODE, if present, will be replaced
with the title and episode information from the EPG data at the time of
recording (if that data is available). If at the time of recording either
of these cannot be determined, TITLE will default to the channel name, and
EPISODE will default to a blank.
- Summary (any newline characters in the summary have to be replaced with '|';
the summary may contain ':' characters)
* setup.conf
This file contains the basic configuration options for VDR.
Each line contains one option in the format "Name = Value".
See the MANUAL file for a description of the available options.
* commands.conf
This file contains the definitions of commands that can be executed from
the "Main" menus "Commands" option.
Each line contains one command definition in the following format:
title : command
where 'title' is the string the will be displayed in the "Commands" menu,
and 'command' is the actual command string that will be executed when this
option is selected. The delimiting ':' may be surrounded by any number of
white space characters.
In order to avoid error messages to stderr, every command should have
stderr redirected to stdout. Everything the command prints to stdout will
be displayed in a result window, with 'title' as its title.
Examples:
1 Check for new mail: /usr/local/bin/checkmail 2>&1
2 CPU status : /usr/local/bin/cpustatus 2>&1
3 Disk space : df -h | grep '/video' | awk '{ print 100 - $5 "% free"; }'
If the first non-blank character of the 'title' is a digit in the range
1..9, the command can be selected directly by pressing the respective numerical
key on the remote control.
* svdrphosts.conf
This file contains the IP numbers of all hosts that are allowed to access the
SVDRP port.
Each line contains one IP number in the format
IP-Address[/Netmask]
where 'IP-Address' is the address of a host or a network in the usual dot
separated notation (as in 192.168.100.1). If the optional 'Netmask' is given
only the given number of bits of 'IP-Address' are taken into account. This
allows you to grant SVDRP access to all hosts of an entire network. 'Netmask'
can be any integer from 1 to 32. The special value of 0 is only accepted if
the 'IP-Address' is 0.0.0.0, because this will give access to any host (USE
THIS WITH CARE!).
Everything following (and including) a '#' character is considered to be
comment.
* marks.vdr
This file (if present in a recording directory) contains the editing marks
defined for this recording.
Each line contains the definition of one mark in the following format:
hh:mm:ss.ff comment
where 'hh:mm:ss.ff' is a frame position within the recording, given as "hours,
minutes, seconds and (optional) frame number". 'comment' can be any string
and may be used to describe this mark. If present, 'comment' must be separated
from the frame position by at least one blank.
The lines in this file need not necessarily appear in the correct temporal
sequence, they will be automatically sorted by time index.
CURRENT RESTRICTIONS:
- the 'comment' is currently not used by VDR
- marks must have a frame number, and that frame MUST be an I-frame (this
means that only marks generated by VDR itself can be used, since they
will always be guaranteed to mark I-frames).
* 001.vdr ... 255.vdr
These are the actual recorded MPEG data files. In order to keep the size of
an individual file below a given limit, a recording is split into several
files. The contents of these files is "Packetized Elementary Stream" (PES)
and contains ES packets with ids 0xE0 for video, 0xC0 for audio 1 and 0xC1
for audio 2 (if available). Dolby Digital data is stored in packets with
ids 0xBD.
