479 settings in the conf file as a maximum. If the video to be transcoded\r
480 has smaller dimensions that are closer to other acceptable TiVo\r
481 dimensions then pyTivo will use these dimensions. This allows for\r
482 faster transcoding and small files when the initial video is a lower\r

551 does not strictly follow this bit rate, there is a certain level of\r

553 low bit rate. The default is likely fine for most users. Higher values\r
554 may slow down transcoding and will increase the file size. Increased\r

576 choose the maximum bit rate and is more strict than the <a href="http://pytivo.armooo.net/wiki/ConfigurepyTivo#video_br">video_br</a>\r
577 setting above. However setting this can cause buffer overflows and can\r
578 cause issues with ffmpeg. In addition to setting the ffmpeg maxrate\r
579 option, this setting is used to determine if the video bitrate of the\r
580 source video file is too high for the <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/TiVo">TiVo</a>. Otherwise compatible\r
581 mpeg's with a video bitrate above this setting will be transcoded\r
582 rather than sent to the <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/TiVo">TiVo</a>\r
583 untouched. Raising this setting much higher than the default will likly\r
584 result in pixelation during playback. Recommended only for skilled\r
585 users. <strong>Note:</strong> there is a report that\r
586 ffmpeg throws an error with 17Mi but accepts 17408K just fine. <br>\r

658 <strong>Description:</strong> This allows you to\r

660 with the default setting. Some HD users are experimenting with the\r
661 following line:<br>\r
662 \r
663 -vcodec mpeg2video -maxrate %(max_video_br)s -qscale 1.2 -bufsize\r

665 -f vob -<br>\r
666 \r
667 The major difference is that this does not alter the dimensions of the\r
668 video. The native height and width setting of the video used to\r
669 transcode the video. This will only work for HD and S3 units. So far\r
670 there has not been any report of dimensions which the HD units will not\r
671 accept. Additionally this line increases the audio frequency setting to\r
672 48000 too. <strong>Example Settings:</strong> See Above\r

773 <strong>Description:</strong> In order to verify that\r
774 the video files present on your computer were compatible with ffmpeg in\r
775 older versions pyTivo would query ffmpeg for each file. While this\r
776 information was cached it still caused a delay in the initial loading\r
777 of a list of files. This precache setting forced pyTivo to inspect each\r
778 video prior to starting the pyTivo server. However, this had two\r
779 drawbacks. 1. It took time as much as two minutes before pyTivo was\r
780 ready to accept requests. 2. It did not update the cache if new files\r
781 were added while the pyTivo server was running. <br>\r
782 \r
783 In the more recent releases, anything after Feb 16, 2008, pyTivo no\r
784 longer needs to query ffmpeg when creating a file list. Instead pyTivo\r
785 has a list of accepted video format extensions. If the file extension\r
786 falls within this list it is displayed on the TiVo. This achieves the\r
787 same speed increase as the precache method without the delay in loading\r
788 the pyTivo server. <br>\r
789 \r
790 There are still two drawbacks to this method. 1. The video file must\r
791 have an extension that is in the list. There is a possibility that a\r
792 new video file extension could come out before pyTivo is updated. 2.\r
793 Incomplete or video files with errors will still appear in the TiVo\r
794 listing if they have the correct extension, even though they are not\r
795 valid files. Both of these concerns are minimal. 1. Very few new\r
796 formats of video files come out very often. And all extensions are\r
797 stored in the video.ext file which is easily edited. 2. When viewing\r
798 the file details before transferring the pyTivo server queries ffmpeg\r
799 to make sure it is valid. If the file is not valid it will show up as a\r
800 copyrighted file and transferring it will be prevented by TiVo. <br>\r
801 \r
802 It is recommended that you leave precaching turned off as it is no\r
803 longer needed.<br>\r
