Comment to 'HD video more then 720p'
  • Hello Mayki !

    You may try to apply the following MySQL query (backup the `sys_transcoder_filters ` table first):

    UPDATE  `sys_transcoder_filters` SET  `filter_params` =  'a:3:{s:1:"h";s:4:"1080";s:13:"video_bitrate";s:4:"1536";s:10:"force_type";s:3:"mp4";}' WHERE `transcoder_object`='bx_videos_video_mp4_hd' LIMIT 1;

    Then clear all caches via Studio->Dashboard.

      Hello LeonidS 

      thank you for your explanation on how to do it. I have made the change and tried to upload HD video to our site. I monitored server with:

      watch -n5 'ps aux | grep ffmpeg'

      and I saw that video gets transcoded twice (I believe once for SD and once for HD quality, correct?)

      Two qustions/problems:

      1.) I wish that videos would be available in SD , 720p and 1080p and that the site memebers would have choice to select the quality from player. 

      2.) Even if the video now is transcoded to 1080p this is not an option in player:

      image_transcoder.php?o=bx_froala_image&h=4163&dpx=2&t=1603447053

      image_transcoder.php?o=bx_froala_image&h=4162&dpx=2&t=1603447010

      And just another question if I may...., about reverting the change in `sys_transcoder_filters ` table. Would this do the trick?

      UPDATE  `sys_transcoder_filters` SET  `filter_params` =  'a:3:{s:1:"h";s:3:"720";s:13:"video_bitrate";s:4:"1536";s:10:"force_type";s:3:"mp4";}' WHERE `transcoder_object`='bx_videos_video_mp4_hd' LIMIT 1;

      Thank you very much for your answers.

      Mayki
