Would it be possible to add an option to the dvr server to automatically recode / transcode a recording to a set format once it has finished recording?
I am based in the UK and most HD tv is recorded in 1080i and i consume those shows via FireTV4K on various TVs around the house. FireTV4k has a known issue where it crashes when playing back 1080i material, so all my streams are currently transcoded / set to 720p 6mb to avoid this issue internally.
This means that i am always transcoding the recorded shows i watch in realtime. What would be great is if once a show has finished recording it could be automatically configured / transcoded as follows:
= 1080p --> ignore / original
= 1080i --> transcode to 720p
= 720p --> ignore / original
= SD --> ignore / original
(Once transcoded the original recording could then be removed and the database updated to point to the transcoded file instead)
Then i would set the player to use original file playback instead of forced transcode internally
Thoughts... a possibility?
