Downgrading Video Resolution

Hi All,

I have bandwith limitations and am seeing stuttering when trying to watch 1080p video so would like to alter my transcoding profile for my telly to downgrade anything over 720p.

I can see that this topic has come up several times and they all conclude with "supported in V1.0" but I cannot for the life of me work out what I need to do from either the docs or the wiki I can see that the ffmpeg option is -s but how do I put that in a transcoding profile and make it conditional on the size being too big?

Could somebody give me a little example of how to force all video greater than 720p to be transcoded down to 720p please?

Cheers,
Andy

You can edit profiles.xml by adding maxHeight option

Video transcoding

Video - defines video transcoding definitions; can be one or more, with the elements order being taken in consideration (the first definition that matches a file is used)

Attributes:

targetContainer - compulsory; name of container to transcode into; possible values: asf, mpeg (MPEG2PS), mpegts (MPEG2TS)
targetVCodec - optional; name of video codec to transcode into or omit this attribute to keep the video stream as it is; possible values: mpeg2video (MPEG2), wmv2 (WMV9)
targetACodec - optional; name of audio codec to transcode into or omit this attribute to keep the audio stream as it is; possible values: aac, ac3, mp2, mp3, lpcm, wmav2
maxVBitrate - optional; max. video bitrate [kbit/sec] or omit to keep the same quality
aBitrate - optional; audio bitrate [kbit/sec] to use when transcoding audio track, default is 192
aSamplerate - optional; audio sample rate [Hz] to use when transcoding audio track, default is 48000
forceVTranscoding - optional; if true, the video stream will always be transcoded even in cases when in could just be rewrapped; default is false
forceStereo - optional; if true, audio transcoding involves forcing number of channels to 2; default is false
maxHeight - optional; limits transcoded video height to this value. It will cause video transcoding (similar to forceVTranscoding)
DAR - optional; forces the output video to the given display aspect ratio; possible values: 16:9
forceInheritance - optional; defines whether this transcoding configuration is inherited by child profile

What is your device, and what is the profile used ?
