Streaming from streams - incuding DVB (transcoding works)
Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2011 10:26 pmHello,
Dont have so much time now because it's late, I've managed to get subsonic transcoding streams. This opens a new set of possibilities, for example I just set up some channels on my dvb tuner.
I am using windows.
Ok, so these are the steps required:
1. Copy all content of VLC folder into c:/subsonic/transcode
2. Create a new transcoding with the following characteristics:
Name: whatever you want
Convert from: ts (or whatever file extension your stream is providing you)
Convert to: flv
Step1(my example, used a dvb tuner, the path and name are customisable in the app):vlc -q dummy http://127.0.0.1:7522/upnp/channelstream/%s :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=%b,scale=0.5,acodec=mp4a,ab=32,channels=1,samplerate=22050,scodec=dvbs,soverlay}:standard{access=file,mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=-}
3. Create a new player and set it to play only using this transcoding
4. - this was so obvious but hardest to actually get it-
Create zero byte files in your media directory WITH THE SAME NAME as the file name the stream is providing.
In my case, to be able to view channels 13 and 14, I've created two empty files called 13.ts and 14.ts
Now, select your new player and hit "play" to se if it's working. Mine is!
Good luck!
