Transcoding for Web Media Browser

[spudy12]

Hi, 2 quesitions
Firstly, what format does serviio transcode files to to stream on the media browser?

Secondly if I was to convert my files to this format will serviio still transcode them or stream them straight off?

Look at application-profiles.xml file on serviio/config folder.

Most of the time : Video targetContainer="flv" targetVCodec="flv" targetACodec="mp3, with bitrate constraints.

Secondly if I was to convert my files to this format will serviio still transcode them or stream them straight off?

Yes :
alwaysEnableTranscoding = true

[will]

I believe alwaysEnableTranscosing means to ignore the on/off under the Transcoding tab, if the file doesn't actually need transcoding it won't be (although it this case the file will be remuxed to enable time based seeking which MediaBrowser uses)
