About

The project was started during Google Summer of Code 2008 by Sebastian Pölsterl.

Development

Development takes place in a Git repository. To checkout the latest version run the following command:

git clone git://git.gnome.org/gnome-dvb-daemon

Python library

Communication with DVB daemon is possible through its D-Bus interfaces. DVB daemon already ships a D-Bus wrapper for Python (gnomedvb module) and some basic GTK+ widgets (gnomedvb.widgets module). You can browse the gnomedvb module if you run python and enter the following commands:

>>> import gnomedvb
>>> help(gnomedvb)
