VU+duo2 transcoding capabilities

[alomgir371]

Hi Guys,

I was thinking of upgrading to the Duo2 but was wondering if you knew whether this driver issue for transcoding has been resolved?

Thanks

Hi,
for Duo2 transcoding is working. I think only Solo2 has problems at the moment.

Not on my duo2 it isn't

It's working on current test builds, also working on the Solo2.

Great, I am holding my breath for VIX 4 to be released

Are the latest drivers released inbuilt in the new OpenVix Zeus image?

 

[Rob van der Does]

Yes .

I believe that in order to use transcoding the default port 80 must be used and no authentication can be set, if this is a driver issue from VU+ I feel almost cheated into spending so much money on a box and all that bloody advertising they do that this is THE streaming device.

I have to use build 753 of Vix as this is the only build that I feel streaming works to a satisfactory level.

If it is drivers then are there different drivers from build 753 to Zeus? Can the old drivers not be imported into Zeus?

Transcoding works fine on Zeus.

Dear Rob van der Does, does zeus also support double transcoding for the DUO2?

Many thanks for your reply.

 

[Rob van der Does]

You mean using two different transcodings at the same time? I don't know that,

Thanks for your honest reply. Just to let you know that black hole team has that capability since 2.0.8 I think.

BH (and VTi for that matter) can't be compared to ViX. They have an easy job, as they simply use VU's image and add some plugins and a skin.
We have to figure out how VU's options work, how we can embed them and we quite often have to work around their (driver related) issues.

Hi,
it seems to work. I just watched one channel on TV, one transcoded on my PC and another one transcoded on my tablet. I cannot check with which settings as VLC on Android does not give me that information I think.

ciao

Personally speaking i wouldn't say its working fine when you have to use port 80 with no authentication, that's not fine by me but im sure its fine for others.

OK, as you wish: then transcoding is not working fine for you. It is for me; why would a fixed port bother me? And web authentication only adds seeming, and no real security.

You can always want more then you get; anyway we can't change things as they are in the hands of the VU-driver devs.

A little bird told me that VU is about to launch an updated version of the transcoding facilities. Who knows what that will bring us.

i hope my post didnt come across like i was being an arse cos that was not my intention, sometimes its hard to know how somebody is coming across just over text on a forum, i appreciate what you people do for the Vix image, basically offering a fantastic free service and i like many others truly appreciate the time and effort that goes into coding\building\testing each build of vix, i work for a software company and i know what can go into even a small update.

i also appreciate the issue is out of your hands as the issue is driver related, i think part of my issue is that there are options available that are useless for me as they dont work, port and authentication, personally i would like these options for my own reasons and i do not "expect" them or demand them, i just see it as a shame they don't work properly.

Set up a VPN then. Opening port 80 isn't the only option...
