Request Latest Zapping!

[Omnios]

I visited the Zapping tv app page the other day and they came out with a heavy new version with a lot of new features including recording. (Generaly I use my ati tv card as a DVR). I was thiking of waiting for a new version to come out in snaptic but from what I just read Its probably not going to come out so I am hoping it may be backported.

From what ive seen there seems to be scedualing and recording. I was thinking of downloading the source code but am worried about problems with tv card and sound config. I hope it may be backported or talk to someone who has already installed it so as to know if it would be ok.

I Have tryed most of them and so far like Zapping the best it was just way more easy to get it to work the way I wanted with a ATI TV2000 card. As far as I have seen so far its number 1 havent tryed Myth though and dont plan on it.

Zapping looks nice, I only wish the version in Ubuntu repos would support recording :(

I like tvtime much better, well i found all the other tv apps pretty lacking. With zapping I could not get it to use overlay for fullscreen video, you had to actually switch your desktop res to get fullscreen. Do others have this same issue? Only in capture mode would it go fullscreen which is much more cpu intensive as it's not using hardware overlay.

Also, I couldn't get it to use fullframe resolution. It was just half res, you could see the stairstepping effect especially on text. If things have changed maybe I'll try it again.

Fullscreen works fine for me. I also used tvtime which is quite nice app but now I like Zapping better because of its teletext mode. I have yet to find prog that integrates recording nicely though.. I could use mencoder of course but I'd rather have something integrated to the viewing app with a nice gui.

How could TV time be better it can't record.

All Windows TV apps have a recording feature, so please put Zapping on the backports, about time Ubuntu users get a fully functional TV tuner program.

Ominous I think you need to post a new thread in the new Backport Request section.

Did this ever get added?
