Transcoding formats
Use VLC to transcode video/audio formats that are not supported by the hardware player. Details on a possible implementation can be found in the "com_simpleboardItemid42%3Efunh1. viewcatid9id=4329 forums":http://www.swisscenter.co.uk/index.php?optioh1..

From the "5030 Forums":http://www.swisscenter.co.uk/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,42/func,view/catid,9/id,5030/*:
I'm successfully doing transcoding on the fly to my eva700 (though I'm doing it alongside Swisscenter, rather than with SC). Instead of using VLC to do the conversion, I'm using ffmpeg, which I find to be faster and more accurate.
Attached is a bone-simple perl cgi that handles transcoding for me. I'd imagine it'd be trivial to port this to PHP (and/or modify SC to call the CGI appropriately for files that will require transcoding). You also need to have ffmpeg installed, but it's been compiled on Windows and unix, and seems readily available.
I've got a series of CGI scripts that I use to run my eva700 from a linux machine, that can do a number of nifty things (including very basic YouTube integration, transcoding, and soon, transcoding of live streams). If this sounds interesting to you, and you'd like to help, you'll find my email address in the comments of the attached file.
