Sammy 738 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Welcome! Emby should play wtv fine but what are the specs ov your server? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemoul 1 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 It’s an i5 9400 so should have enough grunt to transcode for a couple of TV’s on the fly, however I’m wondering if it won’t make more sense to permanently transcode (newly) recorded show’s to limit the amount of on the fly transcoding and save some hard disk space. Biggest concern is preserving the subtitles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37133 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 If they are subtitles then you should be fine. If they are closed captions then we still have some work to do with those and for now I would suggest using an external tool to convert them rather then emby's convert feature.

chemoul 1 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Thanks Luke. The terms subtitles and closed captions are used interchangeably so just want to make sure I understand where you see the difference? I’m referring to the textual transcription of the spoken dialogue, not additional comments for the deaf and hard of hearing. Assuming conversion works for subtitles, which video format is recommended? MP4? MKV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1259 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 With closed captions Luke is referring to the North American way of storing subtitles inside the video stream of live tv, with subtitles he means the European (and also Australian) way of storing subtitles as additional data stream alongside the video stream.

Luke 37133 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Short answer is if emby detects embedded subtitle streams then you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
