mpeg2video streams #184

Open penfolduk opened 6 years ago

penfolduk commented 6 years ago

more and more iptv providers are streaming in mpeg2video and not h264

hence mpeg2 streams will not play without them being transcoded at source

can plugin be configured to play mpeg2video without source transcoding being done

KSas commented 6 years ago

These are two different things. mpegts is a container, but h264 is a codec

Cigaras commented 6 years ago

Plug-in is not able to alter transcoding directly, only thing it can do is provide as much meta information as possible about the stream beforehand, so Plex server can make a right assumptions regarding transcoding. To do that You can define video container and coded in playlist using advanced attributes.

On other hand, some clients have settings to alter transcoding, but these will affect whole client, not individual streams.
