MythTV Roku Commercial Skip Encode Script
Before I forget, here’s my MythTV UserJob1: /usr/local/bin/mythipodcom.sh %DIR% %FILE% This script runs on a MythTV recording to remove commercials and transcode to h.264 video that I’ve tested and will play on Android (Motorola Droid), iPhone (iPhone 4), Roku DVP (Original Roku Netflix Player), Boxee Box, and in Miro on Windows. The contents of /usr/local/bin/mythipodcom.sh
MythTV Roku Streaming Apache Config
This is a lot of the rest of the important configuration changes. I’ve added the bandwidth module (more info available in my previous post: Apache 2 bandwidth control) and enabled port 8080 as well since Cox Communications blocks traffic on 80 and 443.
MythTV Roku Streaming XML
The XML player example in the Roku DVP SDK with URL modified to the URL and port and path of my MythTV web interface. NOTE: These URLs aren’t ones I really use. Contents of /var/www/stream/roku.xml
Video Encoding
I used to encode to mpeg4, which worked pretty well, but quality wasn’t the greatest. The files weren’t exactly tiny either. /usr/bin/nice -n 19 ffmpeg -i “${directory}/${file}.tmp” -acodec libfaac -ab ${abitrate} -ac 2 -s ${width}x${height} -vcodec mpeg4 -b ${vbitrate} -flags +aic+mv4 -trellis 1 -mbd 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 250 -maxrate 512k -bufsize 2MContinue reading “Video Encoding”
