Some time ago the VTP part of streamdev-server has been extended to support extern remux. The streamdev-client could select externremux by issuing a "CAPS EXTERN" instead of the standard "CAPS TSPIDS" (you will need to modify the source). Of course the client VDR needs to support h264 - patches are available - and externremux has to emit an h264 TS stream. That's the theory. Your mileage may vary. Probably noone even tried the CAPS EXTERN part. Good luck ;) Frank ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Yes, we encode it on the fly: Abit I-N73HD motherboard with overclocked Intel Pentium E2160 processor. Working like a charm, about 50-60% loading of the each of processors. Here is my encoding line: (Middle quality) cat $OUT.avi & /usr/bin/mencoder "$IN" -vf scale=512:384 -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=300:threads=auto -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=aac:abitrate=20 -o $OUT.avi &>$OUT.log High quality: cat $OUT.avi & /usr/bin/mencoder "$IN" -vf scale=512:384 -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=256:subq=5:8x8dct:frameref=2:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:threads=auto -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=aac:abitrate=20 -o $OUT.avi &>$OUT.log Yarema >> We (me and my friend from the States) have the following problem.

[vdr] How to use VDR2VDR for h264 streaming?
Hello, We (me and my friend from the States) have the following problem. My friend wants to watch tv programs from Europe, which I stream to him. Because my upload is not too big (about 0.5 megabits) we used externremux script together with stream-device plugin for vdr to encode stream with h264 codec and after that stream it into internet. I have to say that my friend was impressed, quality was really nice. Now we want more :-) It is so inconvenient to use web-interface for switching channels, search EPG etc. And here is our question: is it possible to use vdr-stream plugin to stream from one VDR (server) to another VDR( client) h264 encoded stream in the same way as it is implemented in VDR-2-VDR with mpeg2? I mean with remote menu, epg searching, switching channels. Regards, Yarema ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
