i think yes, but thats a bit confusing too me.
I can choose the following (myhtweb):
Recording Profile: Default | Live TV | High Quality | Low Quality
Transcoder: Autodetect | High Quality | Low Quality | Medium Quality |
MYMP4
Recording Group: Default | Default (yes it's duplex on creation time and
single after creation)
Inside mythfrontend (/configuration/..) i got the following recording
profile groups:
- Hardware DVB Encoders (here i can setup: encode yes/no?)
* Default
* Live TV
* High Quality
* Low Quality
* TEST (i've created it for testing purpose)
- Transcoder (here i can setup how to encode (codec, bitrate))
* Auto RTjpeg/MPEG4
* Auto MPEG2
* High Quality
* Medium Quality
* Low Quality
* MYMP4 (i've created it for testing purpose)
The two profile groups have completely different properties.
What means "Recording Profiles" in mythweb?
- An entry from "Hardware DVB Encoders" profile group?
- or one from "Transcoder" profile group?
I think the former (cause only there i can choose to auto transcode
yes/no), but why there is no TEST entry in mythweb?
What is the background behind "Recording Profile" and "Transcoder" in
mythweb/myth?
I've enabled in mythfrontend for recording profile "Default" (from
Hardware DVB Encoders profile group) the "transcode new records", but
without luck (no auto transcode started).
In mysql i found:
table record:
- transcoder -> ID -> recordingprofiles table
- autotranscoder -> 0=no 1=yes
for one of my recordings:
transcoder -> 54 (which transcode profile)
autotranscoder -> 1 (means yes)
and in recordingsprofiles:
ID=54, name = MYMP4, videocodec=MPEG-4, audiocodec=MP3, profilegroup=6
(6==ID from transcoders from profilegroups table).
This looks all fine, but why no transcode job was startet?!?
