[IDEA] iPiMP Spin-off: Simple MP4 Transcoder for MP - Page 2

revs · 2008-12-02, 22:07

Agree with PD that recordings would be for things I want to keep (i.e. films). However, this is not always the case.

So maybe some sort of rule on what is transcoded, or maybe just make it manual?

random ideas: transcode where genre is "film", transcode anything over 1hr.. etc?? hmm

What I wouldn't want is for it to transcode everything, then someone goes and cant find a recording, or cant play it, etc.

---------------------

OK another idea, and maybe too much work - but write your own recording screen/section. So the screen basically will list all recordings, and also list any transcoded recordings, as it is your own screen/plugin, could you then make it use the built in video player - so it can play the MP4?? too much work?

So much for my "easy" idea..

That's why i like the delay function in MCEBuddy, so if i leave a recorded program for x amount of days it will encode it, ok i do have to work with the encoded file outside of the MP GUI, ie rename and move to appropriate folder, thats why it would be really nice to do that from inside MP's GUI.

Maybe have a playlist for files to be added to for encoding
