Just taking a break

I'm not doing much work on the media server lately. Ok just trying to relax, playing video games and playing around with the fam. One more thing I want to do with the media server is add pptp VPN support, do I can access it from anywhere using my iPod touch. I have the application emerged already, so it's just a matter of configuration.

More challenges

I finally was able to work some on my media server. I installed a newer kernel on it, which I'm glad worked right out the gate, because I accidentally removed the older kernels to reclaim some disk space.

Back to trying to transcode. It appears to transcode videos faster (I only teanscoded a few seconds of a Fringe episode. ) But now the transcoded video has no sound. Ffmpeg doesn't even show an audio stream being transcoded. Time to take a debut at that. Once I have that taken care of, I am going to set the server to encode and serve flash videos
