Rygel does a very low-quality (15fps, 320x240) on-the-fly conversion to H.264/AAC already. I'm afraid there's no way to do this by configuration, but you could try to tweak this by modifying src/media-engines/gstreamer/rygel-avc-transcoder.vala. _______________________________________________ rygel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rygel-list
