[hint] lower the transcoder process priority

Post by Superlexx »

Here on WinXP+IIS while the transcoding process is running (ogg vorbis streaming) other programs are reacting slow. To reduce the priority of the process, use "nice". Since windows doesn't have this command, you'll have to install CygWin first.

Then in config.inc.php add nice to the encoder command:

Code: Select all

$cfg['stream_encode'] = 'nice --adjustment=19 D:\bin\codec\oggenc.exe --quiet --raw --raw-bits=%bits_per_sample --raw-chan=%channels --raw-rate=%sample_rate --title=%title --artist=%artist --quality 0 -';
and in stream.php to passthru:

Code: Select all

@passthru('nice --adjustment=19 ' . $cmd);
