<<< What's new in Version 0.7.0 >>>
You can store your hardware profile and share it via www.kde-files.org. By
providing your hardware profile you can help others who are new to recording
with MEncoder.
You can store your quality profile and share it via www.kde-files.org. This
allows apart from other benefits to have more than one profile and per
recording choose which MEncoder options will give the best results (f.i. if
you want to record a 16/9 movie you need other options than for a 4/3 five
minute toon for children). What was said about the hardware profile about
sharing via www.kde-files.org applies even more on quality profiles. You can
allready find some at www.kde-files.org
You can configure if the preview window shall start in fullscreen or not.
The play button now gives some valuable information on using the preview
window which in fact is an external MPlayer.
Apart from these outstanding changes there have been a lot of improvements and
bugfixes concerning tooltips and geometry flaws.
The scantv plugin was redesigned to make sure that a failing scantv does not
freeze Kalva anymore.
The save dialog for the channellist was fixed to fill in the values of the
active channellist and to make sure that the channellist is set in the
preferences when it gets a new name.
<<< About Kalva >>>
Kalva is a Lightweight Video Application
ktvapp is a simple to use and easy to setup videorecorder for the K Desktop
Environment. It is using the console tool MEncoder from the MPlayer package
to do the real work. You can schedule a movierecording by choosing the date
from a calender (will be passed to at) and a serial recording by choosing the
days of the week (feeds your crontab).
You can store the neccessary MEncoder Options in hardware- and quality
profiles. You can easily share your profiles and your channellist via New
Stuff (take a look at www.kde-files.org for channellists, hardware profiles
and quality profiles).
Kalva can import channellists from e.g. xawtv or xawtv4 and generate a knew
one using scantv. You can edit and store that list. You might as well
download a channellist from www.kde-files.org (KHotNewStuff).
Kalva has a DCOP interface. This is meant as a convinient way to support
recording for external apps like xmltv browsers (f.i. KTvSchedule). If You
want to use the DCOP interface You can push Kalva into KDE's systemtray
(works just like with JuK or amaroK).
If you want to follow the active developement process, the bleeding edge of
Kalva's sources can be found in kde-svn
(trunc/playground/multimedia/kalva).
