Transcoding plugin NOT WORKING, OpenWebif transcoding icon MISSING!!

[angelofsky1980]

I've been having this with my main Vu+Duo2 from 2.1.7 until the latest 3.0.2H
Stream works perfect, transcoding doesn't (no icon, not transcoding itself via any software).

I've Duo2 on my parent's home and I'll check now.

I've checked but the icon is missing but it's present in other boxes
It's quite strange and report to our E2 coder.

True, if I remember correctly it started at 2.1.5 or 2.1.6...
Not sure if something changed with WebIf.
Also it seems that the issue is not only related to the icon missing since I could never transcode from :8002 but only stream from :8001. But this might require further analysis.

Please, keep us updated on this!

Hi,

news about this bug? because with the new version (3.0.4C), the bug is still present.

I guess there's no news.

What's going on here?!
The Transcoding support stopped working a couple of years ago.
Current version of OpenWebIF in BlackHole v3.0.5.i from 2018.03.06 is v1.2.6.
What a mess.
The current original vuplus Image is still using OpenWebIF v0.4.6, presumably because someone's messed up the Transcoding support.
How do we get this fixed?
Who can get someone to fix this?
Oh & by the way:
there is NO WAY to enable Transcoding in Black Hole.
There used to be an option to enable & disable Transcoding 0 & 1 in "Transcoding Setup".
It is no more.
A dead parrot.

Just dumped Black Hole because Transcoding support doesn't work.
Reverted to standard vuplus Image.
Noted there is no way to explicitly enable or disable Transcoding.
Comment "2nd transcoding and PIP are mutually exclusive." presumably mean they are enabled/disabled when a connection is established/terminated?
That doesn't change the fact that Transcoding doesn't work in Black Hole.
Someone should fix that.
An OpenWebIF developer for instance.
So where are the OpenWebIF developers?

 

[Barry Murphy]

am i right in saying transcoding support has been removed from blackhole all together?

Not quite.

I wrote about that in the 3.0.5I thread.

If you enable Transcoding and edit the m3u/m3u8 file's port from 8001 to 8002, it compresses the stream to whatever you have setup Transcoding with. But I have no icon in OpenWebif, so I have to do that manually. But it still works.
