Tvheadend

Help please

Not 100% sure this is possible without doing some file hacking to trick Tvheadend into thinking it recorded them & even then it may only work with certain containers with specific codecs.

I'm not even sure you can transcode recordings as I've not had the need.

maybe i can setup another software, and provide the source as IPTV source to tvheadend??

so that streamed movies will appear as channels?

i'm so confused, as i constantly hear the term VOD Video On Demand, and i think couple of years ago TVH used to have a feature for that? or i understands this term in the wrong way i don't know.

Yes you can pipe whatever you want into Tvheadend see Custom_MPEG-TS_Input for basic info.

Thank you very much

can you guide me from where should i type this command?

pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -i INPUTLINK -vcodec copy -acodec copy -metadata service_provider=STRING
  -metadata service_name=STRING -f mpegts -tune zerolatency pipe:1

cause usr/bin/ffmpeg isn't found?

the only folder that is named ffmpeg is /usr/src/tvheadend/libav_static/build/ffmpeg

i'm on ubuntu 14.04 with transcoding enabled in TVH

Thank you

i'm installing ffmpeg from source, as it was removed and replaced by something i can't remember in ubuntu 14.04 it was back as of ubuntu 15.04

i'll let you know how it went.
