Disable web client streaming?

[pdc]

Hi all,

I have been running NextPVR on a Raspberry Pi quite successfully, but there is one area that is a problem for me.

That is, sometimes when I am looking over the recordings, I will accidently click on one. This causes the poor raspi to go transcoding, and even if I immediately cancel it seems to transcode the whole thing. For example I recently accidently clicked on a 1/2 hour show and it spent the next hour and a half transcoding!

I don't use the web client for streaming, and of course the Raspberry Pi is entirely unsuitable for transcoding. Is there some way I can either disable the client streaming, or at a minimum, disable transcoding entirely?

Thanks!
Paul

What I do on LibreElec and CoreElec to avoid this problem is change the the transcoding string for weaker devices to only transcode audio. It actually gives video on some streams that are already h264.

I would backup config.xml first and try this

Code:

sudo sed -i 's/<TranscodeHLS>default<\/TranscodeHLS>/<TranscodeHLS>-y [ANALYZE_DURATION] [SEEK] -i [SOURCE] -map_metadata -1 -threads [THREADS] -ignore_unknown -map 0:v:0? [PREFERRED_LANGUAGE] -map 0:a:[AUDIO_STREAM] -map -0:s -vcodec copy -acodec aac -ac 2 -c:s copy -hls_time [SEGMENT_DURATION] -start_number 0 -hls_list_size [SEGMENT_COUNT] -y [TARGET]<\/TranscodeHLS>/' config.xml

from the NextPVR data folder.

Thanks! I will give this a try, it seems like a nice option to have.

I prefer having the audio to nothing at all for testing, but it probably is better with accidents too.

I tried it out today (on purpose ) and it is very nice! Not too hard on the server, and being able to hear the audio is nice feedback, as you said. Thanks again!
