Serviio

zip:

Could you give me the exact ./configure syntax you used to build ffmpeg for the serviio project?

I want to use the same libraries when I compile the latest ffmpeg source.

for which OS? look at readme.txt

Has anyone created a way to view or rather encode to an HP Touchpad? I am using an app called bhome but it tells only shows the file type that HP Allow mp4

You cannot start playing an MP4 that is still being written - so you can't live transcode to MP4. That's a limitation of the format unfortunately.

erm isnt the HP touchpad running android ???

no, web OS

I would also like to stream avi files to my WebOS Touchpad. So mp4 transcode is not an option.

According to HP Touchpad support page, WebOS on touchpad supports the following:

>>>> You can view videos in the MPEG4, H.263, H.264, MP4, M4V, 3GP, 3GPP, 3G2, and 3GP2 formats.

Does FFMPEG support transcoding to 3gpp formats? Any suggestions for creating a profile for the Touchpad that would work within the above format constraints?

Thanks!

nope as they have to be in an MP4 container and as said above you cant transcode live to mp4 so nothing we can do.

On another thread (see below) it was mentioned that the Touchpad supports the "mov" container also. Could this work?

Re: HP TouchPad

From my experience with mediatomb, the touchpad can play mov containers as well as mp4 containers which use the h264 codec, though it is a bit more particular with the sound codec used. It will also play mov or mp4 files created by ffmpeg if qt-fastart is used on the resulting file. That is, if the codec used in your video is h264, a change of container and possibly sound transcoding is all that is needed. This is a fast operation since there is no need to transcode the video. I use this method with mediatomb and UPnP AV player to play my videos although the 3.04 update causes problems. It would be great if the same method would work with serviio. If serviio can perform a multi-command transcode similar to the following it should work:
