Live TV Recordings to MP4

[dcol 175]

Is there a way I can auto convert the Live TV recordings to MP4 within Emby?

I can do it now with MCEbuddy, but thought I'd ask if Emby or a plugin can do it.

 

MCEbuddy would make a nice plugin if Emby doesn't do it.

Yes, using our media convert feature, you can convert after the recording has completed.

 

@@cayars is working on a wiki article about this.

I did know about the convert feature for an existing recording, but where do I find the option to do it automatically? Maybe a Post-Processing command?

Simply create the conversion job on a parent folder and then it can automatically process new content added to that folder.

After a month's break, I've decided to resume trying to get Live Recordings working how I would like. I stumbled on this post about converting live recordings to a friendlier format, however I don't see a way to automate this. I have a DVR folder where all recordings go, and I see I can manually select that folder and convert it, but I would like it to happen once the recording is done. Am I missing this option somewhere?

UPDATE: Never mind... I'm an idiot. Found it.
