Thanks for the various replies - helpful.

I have found that my BT HomeHub does not support SNMP. However I believe
that
for c. ?80 I could buy an ASUS N900 Wireless Router, which has a (Windows)
client which gives the usage info I was after. Not quite sure if it also
supports
SNMP, so I could access it from Linux instead.

I haven't decided yet how badly I need to solve this problem, so I'll
hold off making
that change for now.

Thanks,
Andrew M

Hello luggers,

This might be of use, it certainly looks interesting if a tad pricey.

Hi,

Because the weather I decided to look at a (long) outstanding task that
I can never ground to doing!

I am using this:

http://bscable.info/from-vhs-to-h-264-video-format/

which is not old, but I cannot produce a raw file.

I have Fedora 22 and am using an easycap stick for video and "mic in"
for better audio quality.

After resolving a long outstanding problem with audio failing (due to me
not removing and re-inserting when changing vlc settings), I can now
play and hear videos when playing via vlc.

I can also set vlc to convert into mp4 OK but want raw data to "play"
with on another application.

When I set vlc to convert and "dump raw input" I do not get a red button
on the GUI so it does not record.

Any ideas as to why I don't I cannot do it?


Regards

The company / group behind this router have asked the debian team at
looking at a port for this one.

personally I think OpenWRT would be best suited,, there are binary blobs
required for this one as well as a mixup on the CPU serial given in the
debian thread that points to a PPC core ( Freescale ) vs an Arm core.

Just my 10c's

Hello Peter,

Ffmpeg or mencoder do video conversations on the command line, once you
have worked out the options its easy to put in a bash for loop to go
through the whole lot. I would pipe the output of each command to a
separate text file so you can check it later if you run in to problems.

Cheers

Something that hasn't come up in this discussion of routers with custom firmware is that they generally (never?) have support for ADSL modem chipsets, so you'll actually want two devices - one with stock firmware (possibly an old or basic model) acting as a dumb modem or router and another running a custom firmware to gather statistics.

Best Regards,
Alex
