VirtualBox build using a regular Linux #16

Closed foxbunny closed 9 years ago

foxbunny commented 9 years ago

Just tossing an idea around.

Maybe it'd be a good idea to have a VirtualBox build/image that would give users of regular PCs access to Librarian and ondd. VirtualBox has USB 2.0 extension which allows USB DVB-S tuners to be accessed from within the box.

Not sure about PCIe cards, though. Would be awesome if those worked too.

I think WPT would need to recompile for each PCI tuner, no?

Not necessarily, but we would have to recompile for each target platform, VM included. The tuner interface is for the most part a standard interface.
