Yeah, I just tried it out. Seems to do that fairly well. Bit hard for me to test properly as my PS3's wireless connection isn't really good enough, but it seemed to work. afaict, though, it doesn't work with any transcoder except mplayer/ffmpeg, and it's pretty useless without transcoding. there's also this little gem: linux/tsMuxeR_licence.txt "YOU MAY NOT MODIFY, ADAPT, TRANSLATE, RENT, LEASE, LOAN, SELL, REQUEST DONATIONS OR CREATE DERIVATE WORKS BASED UPON THE SOFTWARE OR ANY PART THEREOF." so to put it in fedora or rpmfusion-free, you'd have to drop tsmuxer; I think it's optional. I would recommend you add the necessary infrastructure to the package to let it run as a service; although the website doesn't widely advertise the fact, it does actually run fine without X. I don't know if there's a parameter to force it into 'headless' mode, but you could always hack it by running it with an empty DISPLAY variable. (it also seems like it doesn't save configuration across runs, which is a bit odd.) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
