Editorial Movie Decoder Parameters

Note:  Flix can use FFmpeg or GStreamer to decode movies from Editorial. FFmpeg supports a much wider range of video and audio codecs than GStreamer. If you are using GStreamer, you need to use the DNxHD or Photo JPEG video codecs, and the audio needs to be uncompressed.

To set which decoder to use, do the following:

Navigate to FLIX_ROOT/flixApp/flixConfig/context/localContext.py

To use ffmpeg, set the self.fromMov parameter to:

• self.fromMov = flix.toEditorial.fromMovNuke.FromMovNuke

To use gstreamer, set the self.fromMov parameter to:

• self.fromMov = flix.toEditorial.fromMovGst.FromMovGst
