Client or High Quality Placeshifting

[dougbrose]

Hi Sage Community,

I have my linux server located at work and I would like to connect to the server from home. The hosting location has a 20MB upload speed, so it should be plenty and I have Uverse at home. When I placeshift, the server squeezes my videos down necessarily. It takes up a lot of server power and diminishes the quality a lot.

Is there any way to demand that the server not transcode the video while placeshifting or run a Client over the internet without a VPN? I tried just running the client, but it wouldn't take.

Thank you for any help,

Doug

Hi Doug,

Edit your Sage.properties file and modify this line:

miniplayer/min_bandwidth_for_no_transcode=2000000

to suit your needs.

PS - This needs to be done when the SageTV service is not running.

/opt/sagetv/server/stopsage 
OR
service stop sagetv

This depends on how you are running SageTV.
