DESCRIPTION:

When Auto­matic ShowSqueeze is enabled via the ViewS­cape (SETTINGS –> SHOWSQUEEZE AND SMARTSKIP SETTINGS), high-definition (HD) record­ings are not affected.

ARTICLE:

This is by design, because HD record­ings are in such high qual­ity, and so large, that it takes sig­nif­i­cantly longer for them to com­plete. In test­ing, this resulted in an accu­mu­lat­ing backup of ShowSqueeze / Smart­Skip jobs on heav­ily used machines. ShowSqueeze for HD record­ings must there­fore, by default, be ini­ti­ated on a per-recording basis.

The user can over­ride this set­ting to force HD ShowSqueeze to com­ply with the “Auto­matic” set­ting, but this should be used with care. This mod­i­fi­ca­tion is rec­om­mended only for advanced users as it involves alter­ing Beyond TV’s SETTINGS.XML file.

To change this set­ting, first exit Beyond TV from its sys­tem tray icon. Then open SETTINGS.XML, which is located in “\doc­u­ments and settings\all users\application data\snapstream” on the sys­tem drive, in a text edi­tor. Insert the fol­low­ing text between a </Property> and a <Prop­erty> tag:

<Property><Name>AutoTranscodeHD</Name><Value>1</Value></Property>

To undo this change, either change the “Value” to 0, or delete the entry.
