StatusBox displays bitrates for two "profiles" -- average and HDTV.
It uses preset values for this, without regard for your configuration.
Thus, before, it said:
228 GB total, 161 GB used, 67 GB (or 30%) free.
35 hours left using your typical recording profile.
8 hours left using recording profile 'HDTV'.
What I'd like it to say:
228 GB total, 161 GB used, 67 GB (or 30%) free.
38 hours left using your typical recording profile
35 hours left, using recording profile 'Default'
27 hours left, using recording profile 'High Quality'
39 hours left, using recording profile 'Live TV'
45 hours left, using recording profile 'Low Quality'
29 hours left, using recording profile 'RTjpeg/MPEG4'
(your typical now meaning the average of the recordings on your
system, instead of 5.5Mbps)
I've got a rewrite of it to use the profiles actually on the system.
However, I'm concerned that presuming that all incoming streams will
use a codecparam set may not be true. Does MythTV support digital
MPEG inputs, and, if so, is there some way to detect a system
configured in such a way? Are there other circumstances where
presuming codecparams contains the bitrate information (to be used by
scheduled recordings) would be fallacious?
I'm assuming that my HD3000 card recording ATSC would not work with
this, and I assume any DVB type driver wouldn't. My bitrate would
vary wildly based on whether the broadcast is 480i, 480p, 720p or 1080i.
