Speaking of alternative encoders; the main reason I'm using mp1e is the v4l2 support which is invaluable for slower machines. Is there a plan to make any changes to the record_daemon to be more "open"
I'm thinking that, kind of like how in the format_track() function, we use special variables for the VCR_REC command so we can configure the encoder outside of making a mess of the code? like, mp1e uses a regular time format for recording, like this: 00:30:00 which isn't hard to calculate from the show length in seconds, but it would be cool to be able to say: VCR_CMD='mp1e -n %(length_timecode) -c %(channel) -o %(filename)' or VCR_CMD='mp1e -n %(length_seconds) -c %(channel) -o %(filename)' etc. Of course I can do this, but I don't want to make big changes if you've got plans to make major changes to the system as is.
