as the machine running tvmosaic server is not very powerful I wanted to create my own transcoding profile as all the available ones only do deinterlacing, rezising etc. which I don't need.
* server is running on a Intel j4105 which is capable of at least some hw accelerated encoding,
* client is Kodi with the TV-Mosiac Plugin on a Nvidia Shield (Powerful enough to deinterlace and decode everything)
I would need a profile that does only this:
* Compress the input so that it doesn't exceed 9-10 Mbps (remote client has a bad connection)
* I don't know which output codex is best but it should be something that is either hardware accelerated on the server or encodes via software with little computing power. The HD input is mostly h.264 DVB-S content, either 720p, 720i or 1080i.
* The video size should be kept, interlaced input can stay that way.
* The bitrate setting in the client should be ignored.
* The most important point: all SD content shouldn't be transcoded at all, this works perfectly with transcoding disabled as the bandwith is sufficient enough for that.
-------------------
I understood how the profiles work, how to create new ones and how to translate a ffmpg command into the XML structure used.
I'm just not that into the vast possibilities ffmpg offers so I hope someone here is willing to help
Thanks in advance!
