neik 837 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Just got into a new flat where I want to append the available DVB-C channels into my Emby Server. To do so I would need to use one of the Backend provider (TVH, DVBViewer, etc.) and am wondering now what happens if the LiveTV needs to be transcoded (e.g. bandwith limitation)? Will the backend passthrough the stream to Emby and Emby will handle the transcoding? Hope it's somehow clear what I mean. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 653 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 It depends. TVH is configurable and has a passthrough profile though I don't know what options DVBViewer has. Ideally you want the tuner/backend to send the raw streams to Emby because it's the clients that determine whether a stream needs to be transcoded and you can't make that decision at the backend. What you want to avoid is the extra overhead of transcoding at the backend and then again by Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2494 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 dvbviewer also has a profile for the raw streams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neik 837 Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 So, it behaves like I thought it would. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
