aaronouthier 2 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hello, I really like Emby Server. Been using it for years. I am wanting to make a setup for my parents with CableCard + HDHomeRun Prime. I currently have: The HomeRun Prime An Asus Tinker Board 1S w/ 2 GB RAM A Raspberry Pi 3B+ with MPEG2 hw decoder license. A NetGear Stora Box with modified software - currently boots from USB I have NFS sharing enabled and working. I plan to run Emby Server on the Tinker Board - already tested and runs fine on Armbian. I need to find a PVR product that will make use of the HW decoder license and works well with Emby. My folks don't want another tower machine in their home. I was hard-pressed to get permission to go this far. Does anyone know off-hand of a PVR product that meets the criteria above? I can use more PI3B+'s for more streams if needed.

aaronouthier 2 Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Can a Raspberry Pi 3 handle 3 simultaneous streams of MPEG2 input and the 3 resulting MPEG4 output streams over the same ethernet connection? Can it handle the transcoding of 3 streams? If so, then yeah, I'll do that. I'm thinking it doesn't have sufficient CPU power and RAM. I could be wrong though.

aaronouthier 2 Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 I do have a MPEG decoding license for Hardware decoding, so perhaps it can handle it? It would certainly simplify things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Right I see, OK, you want to offload it to another machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronouthier 2 Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Ahh, yes. Looking back at my posts, I see I wasn't clear on that aspect. Yes, I plan to distribute the load. I'm gunna try NextPVR. I've attempted this before, but version 3 of the plugin hadn't been developed back then, so I had to abort at that time. Looks promising now.
