Transcoding for BBC-iplayer

Post by pcr »

Hello,

I am using WMS 1.03 on XP.
BBC Iplayer was working but now no longer works.
I am unclear as to which transcoder/profile should be in use. Also notice that Mencoder is "greyed out".

All thumbnails are OK and run locally when selected.

Test transcode does not complete, it looks like transcoding never starts. The command window shows :-

"C:\Program Files\Wild Media Server\wmsmpeg.exe" -i "\\.\pipe\3C81BF41F72947998D
ABF56A386C867E" -f dvd -vcodec mpeg2video -b 8000000 -aspect 16:9 -copyts -pix_
fmt yuv420p -r 25.000 -threads 2 -acodec ac3 -ab 448000 -ar 48000 "C:\Program Fi
les\Wild Media Server\temp\WmsTemp\Test_45434dd48f4108297ec25739a809ff25.mpg" -v
-1 -loglevel quiet

I have no problem with the BBC-IPlayer. What is the address of a page?

Mencoder not included in the distribution. Download page: Settings - Transcoder - Profiles

Eugene, thanks for the reply.
A typical address is http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... ectricity/
Do you think that transcoding does not begin ?
It is possible that I have made an incorrect setting, although I did reload WMS from scratch.

Thanks, pcr.

I have no problem with this link. Load file properties work (on right click mouse) ?

Eugene,
Well, all is now working OK. I don't understand why but it was fixed by deleting and re-installing BBC-Iplayer.
Thanks again, pcr.
