Hi!
I was able to change the video py file to scan also “.MXF” files; this is more a broadcast file format (Panasonic, AVID, Sony, Canon, …) but I know ffmpeg handles these files smoothly; I have created a script to convert from MXF to MP4 using the ffmpeg cmd line.
I thought it would be cool to have such an on-the-fly trasncoding option also on these file formats; so I modified the video.py scanner adding the “mxf” extension.
Logs tell me that scanner can see those new mxf files, but then I cannot see them into Plex.
Is there a way to do it?
Are the file formats filtered somehow somewhere in the scanner pipe?
If Plex is based on ffmpeg so it should be possible to handle with Plex all file formats managed by ffmpeg, or not?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Camillo
STEP1 DONE
Successfully added MXF video files to Library!!!
How I did it: every place there is the list of video file extensions I had to add “mxf” extension:
here:
/Applications/Plex\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/Plug-ins/LocalMedia.bundle/Contents/Code/config.py
/Applications/Plex\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/Plug-ins/Scanners.bundle/Contents/Resources/Common/VideoFiles.py
and here:
/Users/camillo/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-ins/LocalMedia.bundle/Contents/Code/config.py
/Users/camillo/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-ins/Scanners.bundle/Contents/Resources/Common/VideoFiles.py
Streaming: not working
investigating IO Error in JW PLayer
I think it is missing the transcoding profile somewhere…
