A Transcoding Rule identifies a web browser or a DLNA device and map that device to one or more Transcoding Profiles (See below). Devices can be identified with a range of parameters:
-
the HTTP User Agent sent by the browser/device when it requests media from iHomeServer
-
a custom HTTP header
-
the browser/device's IP address
-
if the device is a DLNA client, then it's DLNA Friendly Name (if the device broadcasts itself as a DLNA Renderer device)
Transcoding Rules are configured by clicking the 'Edit' button next to 'Enable Transcoding Rules' within either the Network or DLNA tab of the iHomeServer Settings window:
