Force Transcode

[Tranquil 94]

Hi Cheesegragon136, nice to see you back on board!

 

Today I installed your great app which is working fine on my parents TV.

Two questions what I found out:

 

1st.) Is it possible to force transcoding to the server for reducing the bandwith. My parents is connected via Internet to my MBS and I only have a total up 10Mbps upstream bandwith. The TV mostly uses direct play so the bandwidth exceeds and playback is not fluid anymore.

2nd.) It seems that the air mouse is not supported on your GUI or have I done something wrong? Entering the hostname with the normal remote (without a keyboard) was a pain.

 

At least, thank you very very very much for working on this!!!

1. In the settings you can now select the connection type (Wired, Wireless, Mobile) which should restrict bandwidth, so try wireless / mobile. That should get videos transcoding (I think, its been a while and I've not got back into my transcode code yet, but I can see it there)

 

2. I haven't heard of an air mouse... So i'm going to say it's not supported
