Meeko 34 Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Any Channels from my Provider works only with Transcoding to Play in Webbrowser. My Videos work perfect without Transcoding. I disable it for any User but i need it for some Iptv Channels.

Happy2Play 8282 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Then I would question why is your media transcoding if it can direct play? As disabling transcoding is only a band aid for an issue which the majority of the time is Auto quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be somewhat consistent with other reports of live tv not being able to direct play and skip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As LiveTV somewhat requires transcoding to achieve skip. So to me having users change quality to something beside Auto would achieve desired results but without specific example of why users are transcoding it is only a guess. To a point Auto should go away and all clients be defaulted to a conservative bitrate would seem more optimal. As Auto really isn't auto on a remote connection.

MBSki 1016 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Ah, gotcha. Yes, changing to a random, fixed quality doesn't grab the best possible quality, but it is a workaround until Auto is configured to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeko 34 Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 I deactivated transcoding because there are some users who have Auto Quality active. I only need Transcode for LiveTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will not ensure DirectPlay but result in playback failure if Auto Quality (which is often on conservative side) is lower than item bitrate.

Meeko 34 Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Google Translate: I just asked if it would be possible to install an option in the settings so that the server only transcodes live TV. Don't want to start a discussion here, just an answer from the Dev Team as to whether it would be possible and will be implemented. best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meeko 34 Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 It's not a issue. I just wish there was an extra option for transcoding only for Live TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37068 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Quote My Videos work perfect without Transcoding Why do they transcode to begin with? Try enabling the transcoding options and then see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meeko 34 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 I have users they have Quality setting to Automatic. many Users look movies in Browser like chrome, firefox… is Transcoding on, the server transcoding. Only i need Transcoding for my 2 iptv slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clucky 5 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 God dammit, I assumed this was already added. Devs, it's useful because your Android TV app can't direct-play and seek... so I find myself really only enabling transcoding for live TV. My other media direct plays, so it isn't necessary... with the exception of VC1's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to only remux from the standard Android app? The only way I know of to give live seek to work is by changing the resolution which I thought forced transcoding.
