Transcoding for streaming over internet?

Added by Henning Reich over 10 years ago

Hi,

after merging three old pc's to one, I switched from DVBViewer+RecordingService to tvheadend.
With the old solution, I could open a transcoded stream with a special url like

http://10.10.10.200:8089/flashstream/stream.flv?Preset=4&aspect=16%3A9&ffPreset=fast&chid=8

and coud watch TV everywhere. (it started ffmpeg for transcoding)
Is there any way to get a transcoded stream of live-tv "direct" to mediaplayer like vlc, mplayer...?
Of course, i tried google and found this thread (https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/5859?r=8265) but the source
http://10.10.10.200:9981/stream/channelid/2?mux=webm&acodec=AAC&vcodec=H264&scodec=NONE&transcode=1&resolution=384
doesn't work :(
I tried it with the last stable and unstable version. (Ubuntu 14.04 server).

Edit: okay, in newer tvheadend-versions, the not transcoded stream url is
different (like http://10.10.10.200:9981/stream/channelid/2065693186?ticket=651BDCAB48E687245DB7A591515038FE4B8C63E5) but I don't get a "small" version of the video.

Hi,

AFAIK, pre-built version of tvheadend is disabled the transcoding feature. If you want to use that, build your own tvheadend.

Thanks,

need I to enable something by ./configure or "just make"?

File:

src/plumbing/transcoding.c

Change:

transcoding_enabled = 0 to transcoding_enabled = 1

Build.
