Turns out that this requires just a few lines of code with the right tools.
The script is called from a Start recording event script I need anyway ( to fix hd-pvr recording parameters)
Monitoring script is called like this in the event script:
/usr/bin/nohup /usr/local/bin/monitor-hdpvr.sh $1 &
Settins for the start recording event:
+--------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+----------+
| value | data | hostname |
+--------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+----------+
| EventCmdRecStarted | /usr/local/bin/fix-hdpvr.sh %FILE% %STARTTIME% %CARDID% | pvr-sw |
+--------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+----------+
The script monitors the given filename, grabs a screenshot every 10 seconds and compares it to a reference image. Imagemagick compare returns a result ~500 for the popup screen and ~ 12000 for normal content from movie recordings so accuracy of detection is quite good.
Again, thanks a lot for the Input I received here!
Bye, Martin
