[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1003187, member: 76888"] Yet another concept from me... [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/18_Contribute/99_Design_Concepts/tvSpaceSaver_plugin_for_TV-Server[/url] [I][SIZE=4]I'm looking for someone who would be intersted in developing this as a plugin...[/SIZE][/I] [U][SIZE=7][B]tvSpaceSaver[/B][/SIZE][/U] [B][U]Description:[/U][/B] [LIST] [*]Older tv-recordings are automatically compressed using handbrake +/- moved to a network share folder. [*]This is to save space for users who want to keep large numbers of tv-recordings. [/LIST] Also: compressed tv-recordings can't be kept in the database due to filename extension changes, but this plugin would also solve that problem for users. [U][B]Mockup:[/B][/U] [ATTACH=full]130789[/ATTACH] [U][B]Installation:[/B][/U] [LIST] [*]Installed as MPEI also installs [URL='http://handbrake.fr/']handbrake[/URL]. [/LIST] [U][B]Setup:[/B][/U] [ATTACH]130775[/ATTACH] Pretty self explanatory. Create button launches the handbrake portable installation so you can create a custom profile and save it. When you click on select profile, plugin does quick scan to get list of profile names from handrake.ini file. [U][B]How it works:[/B][/U] When conditions are met tvSpaceSaver runs .ts file through handbrake and creates a .mkv file with same name. TV-Server recordings database is edited and %recording%.ts is changed to %recording%.mkv Original .ts file is deleted to the system recycle bin If Move Recordings is enabled the .mkv is moved to remote folder location and a .sym link is created If remote folder location is unavailable then tvSpacesaver rechecks every 1hr to see when it is available then moves the file and creates a .symlink [U][B]Explanation of options[/B][/U] Compressing a video lowers the quality. If you watch + delete the recording within X days then there is no point processing it. This is why we have the option to wait X days. If you use episode management to limit the number of recordings to a very small number, then there is no point processing a recording since it will be deleted soon anyway. (eg. Daily News, Episodes to keep =2) [U][B]Potential problems:[/B][/U] How do we handle subtitles embeded in the .ts stream? (Thanks tourettes) [U][B]Additional options:[/B][/U] We could also incorporate mkvmerge and create chapter files inside the mkv using comskip markers. [/QUOTE]
