I failed miserably and also lost the code ;-). The encodingcore takes as an argument a tuple which passes the settings, this need to be changed to a dictionary to allow more flexibility. I would like to have the choice of the video container, avi, mkv, the choice of audio, mp2, mp3, ogg, the choice of bit-rates and the choice of encoder. AFAIK ipods like x264. :) den_RDC wrote the original code and I've hacked it to work in freevo-1 and added re-encode.

I tried to extend the menu show you could configure your options. The idea was to have a selection of preset options that you could scroll though and select, like file type, screen resolution, audio stream type; and then hit go. However..

Re: [Freevo-devel] Using encoding server
Agree with mike on this one or even for converting TV mpegs to DVD suitable ones. After looking at the encoder menu, it looks like some thing that could be configured with encoding options in local_conf.py. Or at least disable/enable only certain formats. For example the version of MPlayer that I compile for slackware does not seem to have xvid encoding available( looking in to fixing this).

Re: [Freevo-devel] Using encoding server
Maybe we could make an option in local_conf to specify a range of address that can play media from the freevo webserver? STREAMING_CLIENTS_IP_RANGE=127.0.0.1 (host only) STREAMING_CLIENTS_IP_RANGE=192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255 (local network only) STREAMING_CLIENTS_IP_RANGE=* (anyone) On 12/3/06, Duncan Webb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Evan Hisey wrote: > Duncan- > How do you use the encoding server?

[Freevo-devel] Using encoding server
Duncan- How do you use the encoding server? I have, i think all the plugins loaded and the idlebar says it is running but has no jobs. New feature in 1.7 that was not list in the changelog. It seesm you know can watch recorded videos in a webbrowser, assuming you have a video player plugin in stalled. Was this intended or just a cool side effect of going to kaa? Evan - Take Surveys.
