Video transcoding

[reddragon72]

Ok so where do I put FFMPEG and what version do I use?
where are those command lines going?
And what about that link that Arcangel provided? will that add setting that can be set in the interface on Subsonic to incorporate video streaming more? If so then how do you add that?

I'm a noob at this and I need to be spoon feed the first parts then after I get it running I will be all set to run off and start making my own mods. I am very tek driven and learn VERY fast, so just kinda help me head in the right direction?

Also if I have subsonic pointed to my video dir on my server is that going to really screwup my audio list or is there a way to make a video side so the the two are separate, maybe install subsonic again into another dir and have one site for vids and one for audio? just a little help is all I ask? Thanks

Here is the vlc command i got working.

Copy the whole vlc folder into the transcode folder.
Then create a vlc.bat file in the transcode folder
With this code inside it.

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal

REM 1-start, 2-file, 3-bitrate, 4-width, 5-height
c:
cd c:\subsonic\transcode\vlc

vlc -q dummy %2 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:standard{access=file,mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=-}vlc://quit

Fainlly put this in your transcode file in subsonic.

Code: Select all

vlc.bat %o %s %b %w %h

It's based on diego dambra's mod found here.

and combined with wraithdu's batch method

Castisus,

Thanks for this script it works and you provided nice, clear, easy instructions. However I've had one seriously issue with it: 100% CPU utilisation. Basically it streams the video great but takes up all the processor. I have to kill processes to stop VLC taking up all the cpu. Any ideas as to a command that can be added to the script to stop this?

Has anyone got VLC to close correctly? It stays running even after closing the video stream for me. It also uses 100% cpu

Is it possible to use more then 1 command in the batch file?
If so why not install a program to kill the vlc process before transcoding.

I haven't been able to get iSub on iPad to see any video files within the iSub streamer. I checked, I have ffmpeg set up correctly, but nothing shows up. Is this normal for now?
