RandallC 3 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Hello friends, I'm recording a ton of live TV these days, and the raw TS files are taking up a ton of space. I would like to leverage the auto-convert function, but typically have emby set up to leverage HW encode/decode to make live transcoding work best. For offline conversion I'd prefer to use the software encoder to maximize on space savings. Is there a way to configure emby to only use hw encoding for on the fly transcoding and not for other encoding tasks? I'm also open to other suggestions. I could go through and manually handbrake a bunch of stuff from time to time but I'd rather not....automation (or semi-automation) is ideal!

Carlo 4330 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Hi, If running on Windows check out MCEBuddy which can watch your recording folder, cut commercials and convert to a HEVC or AVC using software encoding. A lot of Emby users go this route as it works really well. The commercial cutting isn't perfect but any commercials it removes is saved storage.
