Set Default Record Quality

[pbb]

I've scoured the wiki and the forums, and I can't find this. Where can I set the Default Record Quality (or find out what it currently is)?

Default record quality was only an option for analogue recording. With most systems expected to be digital now, it's not a user selectable option, as it's based on the broadcast quality.

I don't know if the question is specific to NEWA but analog defaults can be changed by modifying these defaults in config.xml

Code:

<Analog>
    <Bitrate>3000000</Bitrate>
    <BitratePeak>5000000</BitratePeak>
    <BitrateMode>VBR</BitrateMode>
  </Analog>

The NPVR API still supports passing it in.....NEWA allows you to set a default which will be applied by anything set to record from the NEWA interface. This is set on the Config tab. It simply sets the selected recording quality on the NEWA record pages which is then passed into the API call to do the recording.

I am not sure if NPVR does anything with it for digital recordings or not.....but it is settable via NEWA. You can also override the pre-set the quality with individual recordings from NEWA as well so if your default was Best you could set an Event or Series to be Good simply by changing the default value on the record screen.

Wow, I feel like a real idiot. I scoured the wiki and forums, but didn't notice the Config tab in NEWA. Thanks for the replies!

We have all been there at one time or another.... :-)
