i downloaded tmdb and i dont see anything anywhere, it came up with errors when I tried installing it though.

 

Do you have any screenshots of what it does ?

Anyway, the command line does work fine for my receiver. FFmpeg automatically selects a profile and level (depending on the input file) and sets all those parameters. It's almost impossible to specify those parameters yourself unless you have a Master in video transcoding

This I agree with. But the defaults that ffmpeg picks are really not optimal. Especially if you're going to encode interlaced material without de-interlacing (which of course is what you want).

 

BTW Broadcom SoC's are quite forgiving in respect to level and profile requirements. That means that if it plays on your enigma based player, it's not necessarily profile/level compliant. There is a tendency with enigma based STB's that huge chunks of the main memory are reserved for the video decoders and demuxers. That means a lot of memory is available and the decoder can handle streams that don't meet VBV/HRD requirements, In other words, it depends on whether you want to make something that plays at home, or should play everywhere.

 

Also note that specifying level and profile impose hard limits, they don't specify not optimal values...

Another alternative might be is to construct a short srt file with the metadata (srt is a really simple format, five minutes and a plain text editor will be sufficient) and mux it in like a subtitle. Then if you start the media, you will see the metadata for the amount of seconds you specified in the srt file. When the srt file is muxed in, you can throw it away.

BTW for converting to h264, you'd best use a tool like handbrake, not ffmpeg itself (and yes, handbrake uses the libraries of ffmpeg under water and that's totally OK). The ffmpeg command line tool is for quite advanced users.

thanks guys! il give it a try.

Which button do you use for that optional download? I can't find it.

[Rob van der Does]

Ah, I see it in your screenshot: the green button.

Apparently you use a different version than I do, as here the green button points to 'search trailer'. 

I'm using Dimitij's last version; which one do you use?

Version in the plugin is 7.5.

How to check that in putty?

TMBD...

When use plugin for EPG data --> green button ->  'search YTrailer'

When use plugin for video (movie list) --> green button ->  'save info/cover '/ menu button --> 'search YTrailer'

[Rob van der Does]

Ah, ok, never noticed that. Thanks!

Mxtv, I've used EITitor software on my Windows computer to add or modify informations of the file. I don't remember exactly what I did but it needs 2 files, one is .eit. I don't remember what is the other one. If you don't have this file to modify it, you can copy another .eit file (an perhaps the other one) and rename it with the same name than the .ts file :

Suicide squad.ts   ->  Suicide squad.eit

20161004 0920 - Canal+ - Suicide squad.ts  -> 20161004 0920 - Canal+ - Suicide squad.eit

 

You have to test a little because I don't remember exactly what I did .

The ts metadata file )

[sjlouis]

Sorry, I don't understand what you want to say.

[mxtv]

Sorry, I don't understand what you want to say.

the zgemma / enigma 2 creates files whenever it sees a .ts file, so if i record a program or add a movie for example Spiderman.ts to the zgemma movie directory the zgemma will now create the Spiderman.ts.eit, spiderman.ts.ap, the spiderman.ts.metadata files, so now you edit the metadata and also the eit file to put in your own epg / movie details.

[dAF2000]

It's even quite difficult and I don't know all the details. In Enigma1 (for the old boxes) we only had the .eit files. I think (not sure) in Enigma2 some information of the .eit file was moved to the .meta file. In my opinion we should get rid of the .eit files and only use the .meta file. For now and for backward compatibility, that's not the case. Just check what information what information you can store in the .eit file (the long description for example) and which information in the .meta file.

[sjlouis]

Mxtv, as I said, I don't remember exactly the situation and why I have to create an .eit file. Was this file destroyed? Was it corrupted? I don't remember. The essential thing is that you can improve simply the informations movie in fields .
