Remote recording via Raspberry Pi???

[SFX Group]

Hi

I did look in to this over a year ago when i was trying to decide what hardware to do (back then it was a slave path i think or remote video input, or something like that)...

However i now have Raspberry Pi hardware at the TV running openELEC (very nice) i have the NPVR PVR plug in so it does see the server, however since i moved i now have satellite and nothing at the "server".

The NPVR server has done nothing in the past 1-1.5 years (still at version 2.something), the decoder box is at the TV where the Raspberry Pi is, so with this in mind...

I am looking for a way to get the video from here (USB device) that i can get in to Linux then have NPVR some how use this as a slave input.

So i can either use the local RPi to say "record" and this spits it back to NPVR (as NPVR is the "PVR") or have NPVR do this using something at the local Raspberry Pi.

I know these small boxes dont have alot of processing power so if i need another one then thats fine (there cheap enough).

I would like to help and ideas.

For fta from linux you might be able to use dvblast and updpxy to generate an http stream that NextPVR could take as input via the Network Recorder tuner plugin. Good luck.

Thanks, will look in to that (some how)....

UPDATE
Ive had a quick look, it appears easier to put a Hauppauge HD-PVR on top of the Set top box as this has an IR Blaster already in it, then use a USB / CAT5e extender to plug it in to the PC (over CAT5e), in the long run it will likely create less problems and still be bespoke to NPVR.

Thanks for the input though...
