Luke 36999 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Is there anyone here who uses ServerWmc and has h264 live tv feeds? I need a tester or two to help verify some new optimizations. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Is there an easy way to tell what WMC encodes the show as? Or does it just save whatever the broadcast is into the .wtv file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 it's what your tv tuner provides. nothing to do with serverwmc, except that this improvement only applies to the serverwmc plugin right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Oh well, can't help you out then. Mine appear to output mpeg2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyreturns 191 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 If you look at the serverwmc log when you start a live stream (look for the command OpenLiveStream) it will tell you the encoding it found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverscout 7 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I have an HD HomeRun prime if that helps. would these settings help with your testing? http://www.silicondust.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=14612 Luke, while testing I can give you access to the site and admin sections if needed. (also ftp access to the folders you wish). Thanks David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 i just need to know if your tv tuner serves h264, and if so, if you can perform some tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36999 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yes i still need you. The first thing I need is for you to just verify that playback is still working with an h264 live tv feed. Please test in firefox, android w/ hls, or Roku because i want the output to also be h264. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardy 0 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) I also get h264 video from my TV tuner, but haven't got it working at all. FFMpeg starts up on the server, uses some CPU for a few seconds then disappears again. Edit: Appears to only struggle on Channel 4HD. BBC and ITV channels appear to work OK, so long as I pause the stream for a little while to allow the encoding to get a bit of a head start, as FFMpeg only appears to want to use two of the four CPU cores on the server.

When it failed a few minutes ago it was MP4. Is this because it's playing adverts just now which maybe aren't HD but the programme a few minutes ago was?
