V5 suggestions

Yes assuming the same bit rate going to 1080p could increase the size of most files even 720p and 1080 broadcasts. The biggest savings will be on mpeg2video source or if you lower the bitrate.

Does that transcode during recording or after - shouldnt make a vast amount of difference as I have a decent box - does it use the default transcoder selected in the transcoder screen?

It happens after the recording. I uses the Video Encoder setting to tell it whether it uses CPU or GPU for the encoder.

Lastly - if I select 1080p as the default auto transcode but the input was SD, would that not increase the size of the file?

I think it'll currently try to upscale. Whether the file gets bigger, I'm not sure - it might depending on what the source codec was. I'll try to add some logic to be a bit smarter about this, so it doesn't upscale lower resolution content.

Sorry - nearly a year later 

Did you manage to add any logic to the auto transcode?

The web player is working much more reliably for me these days, but a smaller file would always be nice
