VU+ Solo2 Record to mp4, mkv, avi or other formats..

i'm one of them, anyone knows, this will help to do streamin wit less use of bandwitch

it will have to convert on the fly
box will start to lag

if you want smaller movies

use dcc
telnet

wget -P "/hdd/movie" http://of-stream.mp4

the stream will save to /hdd/movie
you can start watching it as it comes down
no need to wait till it finishes if named .mp4 or .flv or .mkv

mp4 flv mkv file extensions will show on screen

if avi or any other file extension

ftp to /hdd/movie rename file to

my-nicked-movie.mp4 :thumb:

then it will show on screen

i just had a idea
stream a sd channel from sat box via web interface to pc
using vlc but dont view the channel on pc/vlc (will cause lag)
send back to sat box hdd with .flv file extension

thus recording sat tv to hdd in a different format other than ts

will try it later

im sure this can be done
setting up the chain stream option in vlc
and editing the playlist.e2pls file on the box
using the 4097:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0: format so the box thinks its a channel
not a stream

Quote from thatfellow

Is there any way to get the Solo2 to record to another format, ie. mp4 or even avi? I would have thought the solo2 would have the hardware spec to be able for this real time conversion from .ts but I have not seen any plugin yet. Im sure there are a lot of people that would be interested in this feature. It would instantly quadruple the video storage capacity of the HDD. Again, I dont know for sure, but does the solo have to manipulate the Transport Stream when you are streaming live content? if so surely it would be possible to convert real time .ts.. Maybe somebody could explain if this is not possible.

thanks

It's just not possible without direct support from the manufacturer without new added hardware and drivers.
