Transcoding

What software to use? Good question, do some digging here and find the best one for you.

Transcoding

Postby Angel » Fri May 03, 2013 5:31 am

Hello,

I was wondering if MOI is capable to transcode a stream ?

That would be really nice, because we would be able to stream outside from our network
without the need of high speed upload Internet connection.

Highly doubt it. No where near enough processing power

UDL
TBS6925/5980, Prof 7301/7500/8000, Genpix Skywalker-1, Skystar 2 Express HD
Hauppauge 950Q, Kworld 330U/435v3/445v3
Dreambox 800

I use Linux and support open source projects.

Probably this is true.
But I was hoping that the specific ARM Processor would have some extra commands regarding audio and video rendering
or maybe MOI would have an extra encoding processor for such purposes.

If I setup a new Server then what the point of buying MOI ?
I Could just buy some DVB cards, install Linux and tvheadend and have the same result.
Plus I would have more CPU power for the rest... (like transcoding)

ARM have possibility for decode and encode. Other platform like SH4, Mips too.
But, max. usage for transcode begin as realtime process (only on some chipsets, mostly spec.). You can't do anything else. Limited format for encoding output, limited format for input and bitrate.
There's no chance for properly usage with one cpu and low rate bus + streaming + dvr processing (and soft. decoding...). For any ARM based boards, meanwhile.

And result between "why buying MOI and not directly server" is power cons./heating/silent usage.
Also, some USB DVB devices for PC have some power consumption, like MOI with one active tuner. So, have a central samba/nfs server with ffmpeg (or other transcoder) + some network devices as clear streaming server isn't wrong idea.
But this is personal access. If You have only one dish and You're mostly prefering recording then watching, better solution will be transconding server only.

This +1.
MOI is streamer and not transcoder. If you bought moi with the idea of transcoding you made a mistake. So you want from a device for 250 bucks with the size of two cigarrete boxes to do this :
Get dvb signal x2=> descramble it x2 => transcode it => stream it in your network.
From arm?!? You can make even an core i5 to struggle with this task :) Sorry for your high expectations and my bad english.

What software do you use as a compilation transcoding server?

I did it with FFMPEG & OSCAM for each channel using Ubuntu Server ,
Now in V.20 OSCAM installed by default , and now trying to install ffmpeg for MOI.
but CPU or memory for MOI good for ffmpeg , I'm using core i5 2.4 GHz with 16G RAM , CPU load at 10-20% with trans coding 8 channels from MPEG
into FLV stream.

I use Subsonic to transcode live TV from TVheadend from the MOI, it works great. I have Subsonic running on a old dual core laptop, which of course uses ffmpeg for the transcoding.
