[QUOTE="rsenden, post: 1057583, member: 24295"] I haven't paid a lot of attention to this thread lately, but there seem to be quite some questions. Basically, all VODServer does is invoke commands like rtmpdump and ffmpeg to grab video data from the web (or other source) and transcode it to the MPEG-TS format supported by the MP TV-Engine. So to answer some of the questions: [LIST] [*]To concatenate multiple local files, please have a look at [url]http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/How%20to%20concatenate%20(join,%20merge)%20media%20files[/url] to see how to do this with ffmpeg. Once you've found the correct ffmpeg command line, it shouldn't be too difficult to configure this in VODServer. [*]I don't know how Silverlight streams work; it may simply use another technology underneath (like most flash players use RTMP). So if you can figure out a way to dump Silverlight streams using some command line utility then it may be possible to add support. [*]If you are able to watch some TV channels or other streams via a web browser, you may be able to use VODServer to watch those streams in MP. You will need to find out what technology is being used (RTMP, Silverlight, ...) and the required parameters. For some web sites the parameters are easy to find out (for example a direct video URL in the page source), others require more advanced analysis (RTMP parameters) or may not be possible at all. If you are unable to figure out how to get it to work, you may try to post the web page URL here so others can have a look. [*]Video quality can probably be influenced by modifying the ffmpeg parameters. I think you will almost always have quality loss when transcoding, although depending on transcoding parameters you may not be able to see it. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
