Looking for Transcoding video server.
Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2011 12:06 am
Ok, so, ive talked about a touchpad ive messed with like twice on here, (love the thing<3)
Anyways, it only plays like .mp4 video files, ...plus idk, some HD ones, eh, (.h264 or something,...)
but i have like 28gig of .flv files downloaded mostly from youtube, (Yay Robotech!)
last time i tried to convert some of these, they came out to like 5 times their normal size,
so from 115megs to 570megs,
i really dont have room for 140gig of converted videos,
So is theres a decent and semi-portable sever that i can host the vids on that will stream them in mp4?
and no, VLC wont work, not that im all that great at setting it up, but the touchpad wont open the RTP or whatever address, plus, id like to be able to pick what file i want to watch from the touchpad and not the playlist that i have to setup ahead of time in VLC,yes, im picky and kind of down on VLC,
also, id rather not have to signup for something like Zumocast when i just want to play the files over LAN, >.<
So if anyone knows of such a thing, id appreciate it if youd let me know, ^-^
