I think this would be some kind of useful feature. Concerning the watching
of TV shows and the wish to spontaneously capture. Without having TWO tv
capture cards as I have! (Have got actually 3 cards <- show-off)
I am thinking of how this could fit the mencoder/mplayer model... (I'm NOT
a developer, just having too less knowledge, much fantasy and ideas,
begging for pardon!)
... is it possible to put TV - e.g. per pipe function - into a stream like
file, and then read this file by two different threads/seperate started
applications (e.g. one copy of MPlayer for playback and one MEncoder for
spontaneously encoding)?
I am NOT a linux crack (like to be one, really :-) but as far as I
understand Linux philosophy of files etc. this could be a solution.
Again begging for pardon if I'm talking non sense!
Sincerely Yours, Stephen D. Leedle
