Hello All,
I have a couple of questions about the transcoder options:
1) I'm wondering if there's anyway to have the transcoder crop the
frame while transcoding from inside myth. I have many cartoon type
recordings that are recorded from a 1280x720 station but the cartoon
doesn't fill the frame. I want to save space so I need the '-croptop
8 -cropbottom 4 -cropright 170 -cropleft170' specified when I run
ffmpeg externally. There aren't any switches for adding these types
of options in the transcoding options menus, is there some way to
implement these switches in the database?
2) I know there are a few different types of transcoder settings, I'm
referring to the "High Quality", "Medium Quality", "Low Quality"
options. Is there a way to choose which one of these methods the
transcoder will use when manually selecting a recording for
transcoding? When I choose to transcode a video from the recordings
menu, I'm not sure how to determine which one it will choose.
Myth has the ability to apply filters on either playback or recording.
Recording filters are per-channel, but I believe playback filters are
global. In addition to the usual deinterlace filters, there are other,
including a 'crop' filter. This is probably what you're looking for,
with 2 possible issues: First, I don't know if any of the filters get
applied during transcode, and second, what you probably want is the
ability to specify filters per-recording schedule. Check it out,
though, you might be able to hammer it into submission.
