[streaming] On-demand transcoding

Hi,

I'm trying to setup something that would allow me to stream a number of WMV 
streams (e.g. mms://livemedia.omroep.nl/vprogeschiedenis-bb) into MythTV 
using its network recorder so I can schedule recordings on those streams.

What I thought would work would be:

new channel2 vod
setup channel2 input mms://livemedia.omroep.nl/vprogeschiedenis-bb
setup channel2 output 
#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga}:standard{mux=ts,access=udp,url=192.168.1.1:1231,sap,name="/Geschiedenis"}
setup channel2 enabled

and use udp://192.168.1.1:1232 as input for the MythTV network recorder.

But it seems when starting VLC with this channel it is trying to read whole 
of the stream first, whereas I would like the transcoding only to happen 
when the actual stream is requested.

If someone could point out what I'm doing wrong, thanks.

	Herman
