VDR Python Library / News: Recent posts

Greetings! I am Rob Shortt, the new vrdpylib maintainer. I am working on updating vdrpylib for the latest python releases and VDR-1.3.x. There will also be new features as we find new ways to interface with VDR.

I have added two mailing lists, vdrpylib-devel and vdrpylib-cvslog. If you are interested in this software please join the devel list for discussion.

It seems that this project will be taken over soon by new developers. Unfortunately, I had to abandon vdrpylib due to lack of time. Hopefully, compatibility with recent versions of Python and VDR will make vdrpylib useful again. Best wishes! :-)

All data is conveniently represented in an object hierarchy. vdrpylib also provides a wrapper for the SVDR protocol. Thus, controlling VDR and processing its data becomes quite simple. Major additions in version 0.2 are support for recordings and timers as well as a Distutils compliant installation.... read more

Thus, controlling VDR and processing its data becomes rather simple.

Part of vdrpylib is expg (eXtended EPG program) which enhances the EPG data of a VDR instance by retrieving additional information from the WWW.... read more
