To start or stop dvr recording you could simulate web interface commands on telnet, to start recording it would be something like this:

Code:
wget "http://root:dreambox@localhost/cgi-bin/videocontrol?command=record"

to stop recording:

Code:
wget "http://root:dreambox@localhost/cgi-bin/videocontrol?command=stop"

Srart ans Stop Recording from Telnet

Thanks for the reply.

Can you choose between the recording options Ngrab or DVR?

I have a DM500S running Gemini 4.1

Reason I ask is I'm looking to compile my own Tuxbox plugin scripts from to run from the yellow button plugin menu to start and stop both recording options manually.

Regards

Matt

To start/stop ngrab recording you could use something like this:

start
Code:
wget "http://root:dreambox@localhost/cgi-bin/startPlugin?path=/var/tuxbox/plugins/&name=ngrabstart.cfg"
stop
Code:
wget "http://root:dreambox@localhost/cgi-bin/startPlugin?path=/var/tuxbox/plugins/&name=ngrabstop.cfg"
