Hello,

 

What is DB Transcoder ?

It is web application for transcoding, recompressing, resizing stream from your enigma2 receiver .

 

Why ?

You can stream your favorite HD TV show to your cell phone over 3G/4G. Stream will be scaled to not use so much bandwidth.

 

What i need for this web app ?

You need linux computer with webserver, php5, also php5 should have installed sqlite plugin, ffmpeg or avlib(avconv) for transcoding.

 

How does it work ?

Basically this web application is frontend for ffmpeg or avlib with possibility sellect channel from your enigma2 bouquet for transcoding.

 

Where i can download it ?

http://sharetext.net...code_0.1.tar.gz

 

How can i view stream ?

With build in flash video player, vlc player, bsplayer (android).

 

How can i install this web app ?

Download DB transcoder and edit according your needs config.php . After configuration open web app, go to settings and push "Reload Playlist" button to download bouquets from receiver.

 

Few notes:

 

It is highly recomended to set HTTP authorization for this WEB application if you will access this application from internet.

 

Im hobby php programmer , dont be rude if something is not perfect .

 

most of linux distributions have ffmpeg or avlib available, but you can also download last static binaries for ffmpeg here

New release specially for windows users, 

 

http://sharetext.net...ranscoder_04.7z

 

* significally simplified installation for windows users

* still there should not be problems to run app on linux

 

1. Extract archive to disk c:

2. Edit file c:\DB\web\admin\config.php , set here receiver IP, username etc..

3. start c:\DB\start.bat

4. Open link http://youcomputerip:8888/admin/ on browser

5. under settings push button "reload playlist", this will download bouquets to application

 

P.S.

If in "start.bat" window you see error probably you need install  VC11 redistributable X86

[spameris]

FYI 

 

due to bugs in "scale" parameter last avlib (avconv) version transcoding in ubuntu 15.04 does not work, please use instead of avlib, ffmpeg, static ffmpeg can be downloaded here for linux.

Nothing changes in windows.

Great job spameris

 

Just tested it and works great! Thank you very much!!!

 

Is there any way in Linux version of auto start de transcoding of a specific channel in a reboot?

I need to transcod a channel, but the ideal was to be done in a autostart way... can I just start the transcode in a shell command line?

Can you help me achievind that?

 

Thanks

[spameris]

It should be doable to start transcoding specific channel. I will post here script today or tomorrow.

[spameris]

For autostart

 

download:

http://e2transcoder....s/autostart.txt

 

1. rename autostart.txt to autostart.php

 

2. Edit it.. set transcoders username and password and service reference, service reference you can get from recivers web interface playlist.

 

2. copy somewhere this autostart.php file , but do not in web accessible folder

 

3. put somewhere to startup scripts command

"php /path/to/autostart.php"

[fatip]

Thank you again spameris, good idea using php curl to start the stream

 

Just for curiosity... why didn´t you use FFserver to streem from FFmpeg? You could have more control over the stream, like defining max users etc...

 

 

Great Work

As far i know ffmpeg server does not work on windows, but this transcoder works also on windows, also there isnt something what need to grant seperate tcp port, configuration and stream can use for example port 80. What does it means !? I can watch TV at work  . Stream should pass most of firewall configuratiions.
