Channel with different resolutions

Jack Jordan

Dear,

is it possible to configure same channel in different resolutions like 480P,720P and 1080P for same user in tvheadend, please advise

Saen Acro

Yes but not so simple as you thing.
Need to transcode to all of needed resolutio, with different profile.

Jack Jordan

Okie, then after creating diffenet channels with different profiles,what next? How the one user will end up having same channel in different profile format

Saen Acro

You need "loop" input to make it in internal channels list
ex:
DVB-T > tvh > playlist output (normal output 1080p)


http://127.0.0.1:9981/stream/channelid/1391852216?profile=pass

then playlist

automatic playlist of upper channel but with profle (720/480)

#EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1 logo="http://some.png" tvg-id="b8faf5d220e99e67a2e900bb88d4d63e",Channel 720p http://127.0.0.1:9981/stream/channelid/1391852216?profile=720p #EXTINF:-1 logo="http://some.png" tvg-id="b8faf5d220e99e67a2e900bb88d4d63e",Channel 480p http://127.0.0.1:9981/stream/channelid/1391852216?profile=480p

Also possible to use Spawn profile and direct HLS output but will lose on-demand option.
