Recording Auto Transcode

[VCR58]

I am curently using the Recording Auto Transcode 1080p (.mp4) setting. I want to see how well this will work with the NextPVR Roku app as I have trouble with OTA signal quality at times and I am hoping this may help.

Of course this means I have no PostProcessing script running and therfore I can't run Comskip automatically. Is there any way I can use both the Recording Auto Transcode setting and run a PostProcessing scriopt (with Comskip)?

I assume the answer is no. So, the next question is, are there any other ways to use NextPVR to run Comskip?

Thanks.

It’s not currently possible to do that. If you’re using a post processing script, you’d have to just do the mp4 conversion in the script. Ultimately the default conversion stuff is just running a ffmpeg command to do the conversion so pretty easy for you to replicate.

Actually wasn’t there a post conversion script? You might be able to run comskip in there.

You added PostVODProcessing but I don't think there is anything for automated transcoding. I thought the design was for PostProcessing to run before the automated transcode begin. A ts comskip file should work with a transcoded file since the skips are based on time not a file position.

I thought the design was for PostProcessing to run before the automated transcode begin.

If you've got a PostProcessing script, it assumes you're going to do any conversions and other processing yourself, and doesn't run the simple built in transcoder.

If you've got a custom script, it's pretty painless to also add the steps to do the same type of transcoding.
