Sending raw streams to the player

Post by mikelexp »

My video player supports almost every existing video format, so I'd like to watch Internet TV without transcoding it. When I choose the "Internet-television (input stream)" profile and make a transcoding test, WMS correctly dumps the original stream to a file that plays ok with a PC player. The problem is that the file that's sent to the player always has the same extension (mpg, ts or whichever I choose in the device settings). And then, the player gets confused, because it tries to play a windows media file with a .mpg/.ts extension. Is there any way to make WMS choose the correct file extension depending on the stream's format?

Thanks in advance!
Eugene

Correct Mime-type. In version 1.01
- ability to use a script for mime-type transcoded file, button in field MIME-type.
- updated profile transcoding "Internet-television (Input stream)",
added script to create MIME-type transcoded file.
For correct script work need to read the stream properties on right click mouse - "Load file properties"
