Transcodiing on Quad plus

[dwarf]

There is a new driver for the quad plus on

http://archiv.openmips.com/

The latest driver is dated 31/7/14.

This is newer than the driver contained in Apollo build 23. This will give you sound back with video but it only seems to work for about 10 seconds then the video freezes and the sound track continues on :-(

Thanks - I'll load them on a bit later.

Transcoding is quite important for me because I want Sky Sports News on a Saturday afternoon in Dubai, so would be ideal just to stream it from his box. My internet isn't fast enough for the full stream.

Seems odd to be transcoding native tv frame rate from 25/50 to 30/60, but I presume this is a requirement of iPad, iPhone etc? (I don't own either). I can see there are situations where recorded files would have a US framerate certainly.

I think it is a limitation of either the chipset or the drivers.
On the DUO2 (and other boxes using that chipset) 25/50 does work, on the same (Android in my case) mobile devices.

Thanks for the replies. The driver update has worked fine for me, no problems at all now other than the audio is slightly out of sync, but I seem to recall reading there's nothing you can do about that. It lags for a few seconds every so often, probably because of my internet connection rather than anything else.

The only side effect of the driver update (or a coincidence) is I can no longer take a screenshot via the Web IF.

If you use Android, you might also give TiMote a try.
