Just got my iPhone 3Gs yesterday and encoded my first recorded tv show using iPimp..... Video looks cool but no sound?

Am based in NZ so not sure what the codec etc is for sound but any help would be appreciated...

Codec NZ Freeview = AAC
Maybe iphone doesn't like AAC

iPhone loves aac. Can you view the video and hear audio if you view it on the pc?

Can you ad the possibilty to view the music by folders. You have the opportunity i MediaPortal. I have lot of albums with diffrent artist and when i look at it by albums i got only the first track. Sorry for my bad english but i hope you anderstand what i mean.

The issue is finding a utility which will take a TS input and transcode and stream it over HTTP in a format which the iPhone can handle. VLC is the obvious choice but doesn't fully support Apples MOV format yet. If someone changes this or comes up with another way then I'll gladly have a look. iPhone OS3 has some new streaming capability which may be of use. In summary this is still definately still on my radar and I am continuing to look for a way to get live tv into iPiMP.

I'll be working on the client rewrite soon and will have a look at this then. You should look to sort your MP3 tags though and update your database. MPTagThat is fantastic for this.

maybe its possible to use another tool for the conversion like Squared 5 - MPEG Streamclip video converter for Windows XP/Vista or something else.

That doesn't do streaming.

Cheezey, if I open the encoded file on my PC with quicktime it still doesn't have sound.... Nice video... But no sound... This is on a number of PCs so pretty sure it's nothing like volume or speakers not being plugged in. ;-)
