Channel plugin (Updated 12-06-23)

Piping worked perfect.

I have one question. To get .mp4s transcoded correctly I always have to set the following mencoder variable:
mencoder_mux_compatible = false

As Channel uses PMSencoder is there a similar variable for it as well?

Or am I totally talking nonsense?

[chocolateboy]

I still get the MEncoder error though.

Code: Select all

Process mencoder has a return code of 136! Maybe an error occured... check the log file

What version of PMSEncoder are you using? 1.4.0 should show you the MEncoder error. Also, recent PMS commits have better diagnostics (I fixed that "occured" typo a while ago ).

Yes, I use 1.4.0

Please check my previous question

Like I say, many current issues will be addressed in the next version(s) of PMSEncoder. Right now, I'd rather code more than say more.

Great!. Don't let me bother you anymore.

Some update.

TV3, TV6, TV8 works now, but not SVT and not TV4
Cannot transcode correctly those two

When creating .ch files, can regexp's cross multiple lines in the html file? i.e. when the html code is broken by newlines, the following doesn't work: matcher=<h5>[\s\S\n\r]*<a title=\"(.*)\" href=\"(.*)\"

However, after removing <h5>[\s\S\n\r]* it does work but I get too many matches. Thanks

grolschie - It is in fact so that the matcher is multiline. So you regexp should work. However regexps are normally greedy so constructs of .* are well dangerous. Try <h5>[^>]+<a title=\"([^\"]+)\" href=\"([^\"]+)

dsuhashi - The fact that svt and tv4 don't work might be that they use rtmpe. I used the plugin on two computers (one with XP and one with win7), I'll try linux, but then I need to find a new computer first
Note that you must make sure your rtmp.groovy script is up to date. I'll fix the one on GitHub later on.

I know what the problem is now. I need to use FFMPEG to transcode the output of RTMPDUMP

How do i do this in the rtmp.groovy?

Can I add : $TRANSCODER = "$FFMPEG ......" after $DOWNLOADER = "$RTMPDUMP -o $DOWNLOADER_OUT -r \"${$URI}\"" ???
