transcoding needed for DLNA

Hello,

 

I tried something exotic: using plex server and plex web app to select a movie.

Than casting it to KODI (on raspberry openelec) or PLEX HOME THEATER (on raspberry rasplex) by using DLNA

Very nice to see that it works! 

 

However, on my server, I see that the ffmpeg process is transcoding and eating my CPU.

The rasplex client is available of receiving full hd without transcoding. This is how I used to work with Plex/PHT combination.

 

But if I want to change to Emby, the rasplex (or openelec) clients are a very good alternative, but I want to avoid transcoding everything

 

I know there is a emby plugin for kodi, but I don't like the concept of syncing the emby-database to kodi (that is in fact what the plugin does).

 

So my question here: is it possible to use kodi/rasplex as a DLNA-client for emby without the need for transcoding my movies?

 

kind regards,

B
