[QUOTE="Valk, post: 489723, member: 18631"] A special update. Since it has been a while and a few people have shown keen interest in transcoding I thought I might just throw this little update out there. This build has my initial efforts at transcoding running. To try it you just have to change the file extension from .ts to .mpg and it will use mencoder to transcode the video. I'm only putting this build in a post and not on the main page because it's a debug build and is definitely not ready for mainstream use. That said it shouldn't cause any issues. Also the installation is a tad harder so I don't want to support everyone for a half complete feature. Anyway to install: copy all the files in the archive into your TvServer folder. go to your ProgramData folder for mediaportal (normally located: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server) and copy Gentle.config into your TvServer folder. If you can't find your programdata folder you can always start up the TvServer config tool and go to the logs folder, if you go up one directory from there you should see Gentle.config. To use this build you need to run ConsoleTestTool.exe as administrator otherwise it will crash. When you tune to a channel for the first time it might not play, if that is the case just hit any key while having the ConsoleTestTool window highlighted and it will quit. Start up the test tool again and tune to the same channel, 2nd time should work. The debug build will only run on port 9000, if you overwrite StreamTv.dll and the plugin still runs normally (haven't tested) any changes to the port will be ignored. This build also removes case sensitivity (Except the query string, which still is). If you don't want to overwrite files in the TvServer folder and have the console test tool you can put it in a new folder but it will require the following files copied from the TvServer placed in the new folder. Gentle.Common.dll Gentle.Framework.dll Gentle.Provider.MySQL.dll Gentle.Provider.SQLServer.dll log4net.dll MySql.Data.dll TvBusinessLayer.dll TvControl.dll TVDatabase.dll TvLibrary.Interfaces.dll and Gentle.config will be required also.
