Description: VDR plugin for OpenMediaVault
Video Disk Recorder (VDR) is creates a digital video recorder using standard PC components. It is possible to receive, record and playback digital TV broadcasts compatible with the DVB and ATSC standards.
VDR also masters time shifting, that is, a broadcast can be recorded to hard disk and played back at once or after some time, but still while recording. This way one can jump over commercial or halt the playback to go to the kitchen,... If there is more than one DVB card in the system, it is possible to record more than one broadcast at a time. This is already possible with only one DVB card, but only those who are broadcasted from one transponder only.
