==Remote device settings==

- remote_address Values: ip address
- remote_address is the address of the KiSS Player device. It can be a domain name, but
- usually is a local IP adress.
- ex.
- remote_address="10.0.0.90" - for a local network, behind a NAT. typical for ADSL connections
- remote_address="myserver.mydomain.com"
remote_address='10.0.0.90'

- remote_userid Value: String
- remote_userid is the user name used by FTP to login, when collecting files.
- As of today (2007) user login are not supported on KiSS devices, with standard firmware.
- Only anonymous logins are accepted. Anonymous logins use the user id 'anonymous' and a password
- that identifies the user, typical a mail address (or nonsens)
- Ex.
- remote_userid="Joe" - if you have a device that supports user login (Recommended)
- remote_userid="anonymous" - when using standart firnware.
remote_userid="anonymous"

- remote_password Value: String
- remote_password. Either the password for the user login account og identification of the anonymous
- user in form of mail address or anything else that identifies this server
- Ex.
- remote_password="secret password" - for user login
- remote_password=$(hostname) - Use the servers official host name for anonymous login
- remote_password="KiSS collect script" - Use some other text
-remote_password=$(hostname)
remote_password="KiSS_CE"

- remote_path Value: String
- remote_path is the path to change to when loged in at the FTP root.
- Ex.
- remote_path='pvr'
remote_path='pvr'

- remote_get_sub_dirs Value: ENABLED | DISABLED
- This function is currently disabled
- remote_get_sub_dirs enables/disables the search for files in subdirs, under the remote_path.
- Default is 'DISABLE'
- Ex.
- remote_get_sub_dirs='ENABLE'

==Transfer settings==

- transfer Values: ENABLED/DISABLED
- Enable or disable transfers from remote KiSS player
transfer='ENABLED'

- transfer_start_time and transfer_end_time Value: [ 0 - 23 ]
- transfer_start_time and transfer_end_time specifies at what hour of the day transfers
- should start. On many player, transferring files, make it imposible to wach recorded movies
- and the player will disconnect if a recording is scheduled. So its important to select
- a time, where it is unlikely to desturb the user of the device.
- A transfer will not be initiated after transfer_end_time, but it will continue, if started.
- So you should set transfer_end_time to well before you need it to stop.
- If transfer_start_time is undefined, it will run jobs continuously
- Ex.
- transfer_start_time="03"
- transfer_end_time="15"
transfer_start_time="04"
transfer_end_time="15"

- transfer_list_freq Value: [ 1 - 10000 ]
- transfer_list_freq determins how many hours there are between looking for new files on the
- remote device. In any case, it will only look in the time interval allowed for transfers.
transfer_list_freq=23

- transfer_bitrate Value: [ 0 - 100000 ]
- transfer_bitrate if specified, set a limit on the bitrate files are transfered with.
- This can be used to set the bitrate so low, that is dosen't desturbe the recording
- and viewing operations of the device.
- Specify bitrate in kilo bit per second. If nor specified, it will use maximum rate.
- For KiSS VR-558:
- - it will go no higher then about 9000 Kbps
- - at about 800 kbps you can still watch a mpeg2 movie, while transfering. But it will keep the
- harddrive busy for a long time.
- transfer_bitrate=800

- transfer_retries Values: [ 1 - 100 ]
- transfer_retries specifies how many times it shall try to transfer a file, if errors
- occure, before giving up.
- When given up, the file will be ignored in future runs
transfer_retries=3

- transfer_min_age Value: [ 0 - 360 ]
- transfer_min_age if set, is the minimum age of a file on the remote device, before it
- will be transfered. This can be used to not processing files until you have a
- opertunity to view and delete the file first.
- value: age in days
transfer_min_age=7

- transfer_max_exec_time Value: [ 0 - Max int ]
- transfer_max_exec_time if set, is the maximun time allowed for the transfer process in
- seconds. if the time are exceeded, the process is assumed dead and are killed
transfer_exec_time=36000; - 10 hours

- transfer_continue Value: ENABLED/DISABLED
- transfer_continue if set, let interupted file transfers continue with the data already
- transfered. If not set or enabled, retrys will start from the begining
transfer_continue="enabled"

- transfer_free_space Value: [ 0 - Max int ]
- transfer_free_space tell how much free space there should be left on the filesystem, when
- files are transfered. Set this, if input and output dir is on the same filesystem, to prevent
- that transfered files fills the filesystem and there by prevents encoding.
- Typical values are at least half the size of a normal file size.
- value in Mega bytes
transfer_free_space=17000

==File name changing==

- filename_remove_datetime Value: ENABLED/DISABLED
- filename_remove_datetime if enabled, removes the date and time part of the file name, that KiSS players
- put in the end of filenames. eg. "X-men - fri 07-07-2007 22:10:00.vob"
- This is needed it you want to transfer file to a windows file system: It dosen't
- take keindly to colons in filenames.
- Values enabled/disabled
filename_remove_datetime='ENABLED'

- filename_remove_win_illigals Value: ENABLED/DISABLED
- filename_remove_win_illigals if enabled removed windows illigal charakters from file name, such as :$\
- Values enable/fisable
filename_remove_win_illigals='ENABLED'

- filename_replace_space Value: ENABLED/DISABLED
- filename_replace_space if enabled, convert spaces to underscores. That is very convinent when working
- with command line functions, since space is considered as a parameter separator.
filename_replace_space='ENABLED'

- filename_lowercase Value: ENABLED/DISABLED
- filename_lowercase if enabled, convert all letters in the file name to lowercase. In Unix systems that
- practical, since it distinguish between upper and lower case letters: "Alien" and "alien" are NOT the same.
filename_lowercase='ENABLED'

- filename_capital_first Value: ENABLED/DISABLED
- filename_capital_first if enabled, capitalise first letter of file name.
filename_capital_first='ENABLED'

- filename_convert_utf8 Value: ENABLED/DISABLED
- KiSS players (to the best of my knowledge) use ISO_8859-1. TinyStocks use UTF-8 on there EPG
- Therefore filenames in local language might be named with what looks like nonsens.
- When filename_convert_utf8 are enabled, this function will try to correct it, if it occures.
- For it to work, iconv must be installed.
filename_convert_utf8='ENABLED'

==Encoding settings==

- encoding Values: ENABLED/DISABLED
- Enable or disable encoding of input queue.
encoding='ENABLED'

- encoding_pass1_options and encoding_pass2_options Value: String
- encoding_pass1_options and encoding_pass2_options are flags used for mencoder, when
- encoding the movie. If encoding_pass2_options are specified; its a 2 pass operation
- (Better quality/smaller file size) You will have to tweek the settings to get the best result.
- the right setting depends on the movie content
-
- The container format are always .avi
- Ex.
- Video are converted to XviD. Sound are copied original A3C.
- encoding_pass1_options='-oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1'
- encoding_pass1_options='-oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=2:bitrate=800'
-
- Video are converted to XviD. Sound converted to MP3 with 128 kb sample reate and raised volum (9)
- encoding_pass1_options='-oac mp3lame -lameopts br=128:vol=9 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1'
- encoding_pass1_options='-oac mp3lame -lameopts br=128:vol=9 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=2:bitrate=800'
-

- 800 Kbps. Small Size, pretty good quality for TV shows and series, movies on VDC og for streaming or
- sharing on the internet.
- blockiness on dark smoothe surfaces, but not very desturbing to watch.
- 1 hour = 412 MB

- 1500 Kbps. Good quality, for TV recordings of movies and yet a fairly small size.
- A little blockiness on dark smoothe surfaces, but not much.
- 1 hour = 720 MB
encoding_pass1_options='-oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:q=2:br=128 -ovc lavc -mc 0 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vmax_b_frames=1:vb_strategy=1:trell:mbd=2:v4mv:last_pred=3:predia=2:dia=2:preme=2:precmp=2:cmp=3:subcmp=3:mv0:cbp:vqcomp=0.6:dc=10:qns=2:vbitrate=1500:vpass=1:turbo -vf crop=688:544:16:16,lavcdeint,hqdn3d=2:1:2'

- 2500 Absolute heighest quality and largest size worth dooing on TV recordings.
- if you dont have a very good TV signal, this is a waist of space
- almost no blockiness on dark smoothe surfaces.
- 1 hour = 1200 MB
-encoding_pass1_options='-oac copy -ovc lavc -mc 0 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vmax_b_frames=1:vb_strategy=1:trell:mbd=2:v4mv:last_pred=3:predia=2:dia=2:preme=2:precmp=2:cmp=3:subcmp=3:mv0:cbp:vqcomp=0.6:dc=10:qns=2:vbitrate=2500:vpass=1:turbo -vf crop=688:544:16:16,lavcdeint,hqdn3d=2:1:2'

- encoding_exec_time Value: [ 0 - Max int ]
- encoding_exec_time if set, is the maximun time allowed for the transfer process in
- seconds. if the time are exceeded, the process is assumed dead and are killed
- encoding_exec_time=36000; - 10 hours

- encoding_nice Value: [ 0 - 128 ]
- encoding_nice is the nice level the encoding process is running under. (Se man pages for nice command)
- The lower the nice value of a process, the higher its scheduling priority. Since video encoding is a
- resource consuming process, its often usefull to set a nice level of 10 or more, so that other
- more interactive functions run at a higer priority. If the cup is idle, there isnt much differance
- in the execution time, with or without encoding_nice set. (Default 0)
encoding_nice=10

- file_suffixes Value: string
- file_suffixes name the extensions that are treated as video files to encode.
- If more than one; separate by space. ( like "vob avi" )
file_suffixes="vob avi mpeg mpg"

==Loging==

- log_size Value: [ 0 - Max int / 1024 ]
- log_size if specified is the maximum size in Kilo bytes the log file can have before
- turnover. It should therefore only be half the total size you wish to allocate to log
- files. (Default 100 (KB))
log_size=100

==Cleaning==

- clean_local_input Value: ENABLED/DISABLED
- clean_local_input when enabled, causes the script to delete the original file, from the input dir
- when the encoding is successfully completed.
- clean_local_input='DISABLED'
clean_local_input="ENABLED"

- clean_remote_original Value: ENABLED/DISABLED
- clean_remote_original if enabled delete the remote file on successfull transfer
- clean_remote_original='DISABLED'
clean_remote_original='ENABLED'
