Feature Request: super video nerd transcoder settings! Feature: user definable server side profiles for trans-coding intended for advanced users who will not hang themselves with the rope provided. Details: With this feature the user can name clients in a unique manner. "My Nexus 7" "Gabes Galaxy Tab 10.1," etc. Then, on the server the admin/user can define the available trans-code options for each client as well as a set of trans-code settings for unknown devices. Alternately, the user could just define a set of profiles, name them and have those exposed on the client. Why? I know x264 can do better than what I am currently seeing. This feature would allow the user to set the following options: For video: [list] [\*]Profile Friendly Name IE: "Ian's Super Kick Ass OMFG I'm Killing the Server With This Nexus 10 Profile" [\*]Width (image would be constrained to this) [\*]Height (image would be constrained to this) [\*]CBR or VBR [\*]Video Bitrate (int) [\*]Video Peak Bitrate (int) (for VBR) [\*]CABAC (bool, default false) [\*]B-Frames (int, default 0) [\*]B-Adaptive (int, default 1) [\*]Weighted P-Frames (bool, default false)) [\*]8x8DCT (bool, default false) [\*]Search Range (int, default 16) [\*]Scene Detect (int, default 40) [\*]trellis (bool, default false) [\*]subme(int, default 6) [\*]Audio codec (AAC, HEAAC, MP3, AC3) [\*]Audio bitrate [\*]Audio channel count [\*]Audio Boost (int, in dB if possible) [/list] For Music: [list] [\*]Profile Friendly Name [\*]Audio codec (MP3, AAC, HEAAC) [\*]Bit-rate [\*]Audio Boost (int, in dB if possible) [/list] ---

I would love some more control over the transcoding exposed to the admin of the PMS. I stream to a Nexus 10 and a 3.7" phone @ 800x480. To keep the quality good enough for the tablet I feel like I’m really wasting the quality when I stream to the phone. Unless I’ve really missed a setting somewhere that could really help me 🙂 ---
