Have you tried PS3MediaServer? http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/about/ - it's DLNA compliant and my friend uses it to stream and realtime transcode to his PS3. It might be less fiddly than (IMHO) mucking about with transcoding on the commandline with get_iplayer (something it was never really designed to do, although before I get a dozen people rushing to correct me - I'm sure it can with ffmpeg and all its wonderful components, it's just it's too much effort for my liking!) If you want to put together a commandline string, what you'll probably need is to rewrap the video and audio streams in a format the Bluray player understands. This is the case with the PS3; iPlayer stuff is standard H.264 video with AAC audio. PS3MediaServer can 'rewrap' (for example) MKVs with x264 and AC3 on a decently powered laptop no problems. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
