Slingbox and Slinger SLR
Written by Administrator    Sunday, 05 October 2008 07:12    PDF Print E-mail

Having explored the Slingbox recording options with Mreplay Live and finding them extremely convenient and innovative but disappointing in quality  I began looking for a free recorder for my slingbox that would allow for more recording options. A google search came up with the Slinger SLR and VSLR applications written by Peter Jennings.

SLR is a simple application (Windows Only & requires the brilliant VLC Player to be installed) designed to record and, together with the VSLR application , view Slingbox video streams on one or more computers. Slinger SLR can be used to save Slingbox streams as files for later offline viewing on your PC, iPod or DVD Player. The Slinger Viewer offers PVR features such as pause, commercial skip, and resume for multiple simultaneous viewers.

Below is a clip that was recorded as a Windows ASF file from SLR and converted to a FLV file using the Flash video encoder.

 

    Other Features include.

    SLR Features:

  • Transfer video from a Slingbox controlled PVR to your computer.
  • Record the live video stream from your Slingbox.
  • Automatically record to time stamped one hour files.
  • Set up timer events for later recording.
  • Switch effortlessly from SlingPlayer to SLR for recording.

  • VSLR Features:

  • View the incoming stream or prerecorded video files.
  • Multiple viewers can be used on several PCs for live or time-shifted viewing of recorded content.
  • Pause the view of the live feed and resume at a later time.
  • Stop viewing any video file and resume where left off.
  • Skip ahead in 30 second intervals.
  • Skip back in 10 second intervals.
  • Jump to a specific time in the video.
  • Fast forward through the video.
  • Delete files after viewing.
  • Rename or move files while viewing.
  • Extract audio to mp3 or transcode video to mp4 and other formats.
