[coherence-dev] .config transcoding for sony bravia

[Thomas Hecker]

Hi all,

thank you for bootstraping. With this config, I got to stream a mpg to
my TV but it looks ugly, very dissorted. Playing same file with VLC
looks ok. Setting  <transcoding> to yes / no makes no difference.

I didn't understand some basic things:
- how coherence knows that a file has to be transcoded?
- Or will all files be transcoded?
- "but with this config, only mpeg-films could be played back." -> as
ffmpeg is used? If i can transform my xvid-file with ffmpeg on
console, it should work with this transcoder, too, right? But I cannot
see my xvid file on TV.

Sorry, I'm very new to this video and coherence stuff. TV is also a Sony W5800.

Thank you!
Thomas
