Transcoding

Added by Raymond Paulsen about 10 years ago

Nice to see the good work on tvheadend sins last time.

I see now that the transcoding is added to tvheadend, very nice i have to say.
i have some questions regarding that.

Is it possible to transcode the output depending on the client?
I have both xbmc and tvhguide users on my server. I would like to transcode the streams for the mobile users only. Some of my tablets have problems with full HD mkv streams.
I would like to have original streams for my 2 xbmc boxes.

Set a streaming profile in Access Entries?

How is that going to work. I have multiple devices using same account, that is not changable.

how does each client select the desired streaming profile?

I would setup a user for a selected streaming profile, say I wanted h264, I would create a h264 streaming profile and a user of the same name then login as that user on the devices that support h264 and so on.

I use both the clients you mention and you can change what user gets used, so I don't see how it's not changeable?
