    Does transcoding the channel you're currently viewing work for you?

    I'm confused as regards the status of testing with the Quad / Quad plus on Apollo. @Sicilian replied to me earlier today on another thread strongly indicating that VIX image for Quad plus would not be released because 1) the LCD was not working and 2) transcoding was not working.
    Now I know the LCD works fine on my Quad plus in OpenRSI and slightly less well in OpenATV (some cutoff of image) and also ok in OpenMIPS, so I can't quite figure out why it doesn't work in VIX. Now you're saying that transcoding is working on the Quad in Apollo, @judge @Sicilian is the Boss, so I believed what he was saying, but maybe there has been some break-through?
    I'd really prefer to use a VIX image on my Quad plus as it's geared for the GB / Irish market, but I need to know if it's going to be available or not as otherwise I will spend time customising the OpenRSI image for SWMBO who's waiting impatiently for the combo DVB-T/S solution!

    Just because I have transcoding working on the GBQuad doesn't mean it's not flakey, as evident by the conversation above.

    Calm down mate, I'm waiting on the image to be released too. I know it won't be released until its ready, which suits me as I don't want a buggy image, and theres no point asking because you'll never get a guaranteed date. Its ready when its ready.

    Perfectly calm, pal Just hearing conflicting statements. The Boss (@Sicilian) posted a reply to me earlier stating - "At the current time the colour LCD is not working in ViX, therefore ViX image may not be released. Also their claim of transcoding is still not working. " So I took that to mean that there wouldn't be a VIX release for the Quad Plus - simples

    until the problem with the LCD is resolved, there will be no ViX release, transcoding working or not is not a deal breaker.

    All I can say is it's working perfectly fine for me, must have tried about 15-20 different transcoding streams this evening.
    We went through quite a few test builds before the Apollo release, maybe 'The Boss' last tried transcoding on one of those or maybe he's using different browsers/os/video app tham I'm using...
    Either way, I'm sure he'll test it agan now that atleast one of us can report it working.
    The more ViX & Quad users that test this (and report their results) the better as not many of the team have Quads to test on.

    (Transcoded) streams are handled by the box the same way a recording is.

    Please, never do that again, because that is asking for serious trouble. You should restart via the GUI. Worst case go to telnet and stop E2 ("init 4") and reboot the box ("init 6").

    I'm not totally sure what transcoding is but I've put my quadplus ip into chrome on the ipad and the webif has come up ,I've then clicked on HD bouquet and the little TV screen next to itv and the program has played with sound no problem.
    As for LCD the only problem is when plying back a recorded/streamed file nothing shows on it.Ive had the mini TV working on it (why)and also showing info/picons.This is on atv image/hdfreaks only.

    Thanks for that, @judge. The only reason I raised a query was that there were mixed messages, so I wanted clarification. I've had my Quad Plus for almost two months now, so I'm keen to try a "localised" image. I would be really surprised if the LCD is going to be an issue as it works in all other images I've tried (albeit with varying degrees of implementation quality). To be honest, for me the LCD is a bit of a "gimmick", as it's pretty small at normal TV viewing distance

    I couldn't get access to the box it had froze so I had no other option but thanks for the advise.

    Hi Guys,

    Apologies but asking, but is there a guide anywhere to setting up transcoding?. I'm using Apollo on my Quad, but I can't see any mention of transcoding in the menus.
