Okay, so I've decided to set up my main PC as a slave backend w/no
tuners. What I want to do is set up a User Job to transcode selected
programs down to 352x240 MPEG-4 and save them on the slave's local disk
so I can watch them over a VPN at a remote location. Here's my setup:
Master BE/FE:
Video storage dir: /var/lib/mythtv/mythtv (local)
Slave BE:
Video storage dir: /mnt/video (local)
Other: /var/lib/mythtv/mythtv (NFS mounted from Master)
What I want to do is use mythtranscode on the Slave to transcode from
/var/lib/mythtv/mythtv and write the output to its local video storage
dir (/mnt/video). The problem is the following:
If I give mythtranscode the input filename, it tries to write the output
to the same director (the NFS mount). This is an 802.11b link and I
want to avoid both reading & writing to the NFS mount. I want the
output to reside locally on the slave.
Next, I tried changing the mount point of the NFS mount, think the file
could then be streamed and transcoded into the local video storage
directory. But here I get the message "Mythtranscode is currently
unable to transcode remote files.".
So, any suggestions on how to proceed? I suppose I could patch
mythtranscode to take an output parameter...
TIA,
JAC
