HDTC Models?

[mr_penguin 0]

Does EmbyTV support the HDTC (H264 transcoding) models? I remember seeing in the original thread that support was upcoming and maybe I missed it.

 

Curious before I spend the money to upgrade to the transcoding model of HDHR.

 

Thanks!

yes it does.

If you have an existing HDhomerun, you might want to try upgrading the firmware/software for it first and give it a go.  I have an original run HDHomerun Prime that didn't start out with DLNA, and now it does.  My model does not do the H.264 transcoding, but still works great with EmbyTV

Thanks, I already have the DLNA support, my problem is the CPU overhead for transcoding multiple HD streams. I want to avoid that if possible.

Maybe I'm missing something. I bought the HDTC-2US model, removed my old tuners from EmbyTV, and added the ones from the HDTC. Emby still seems to be transcoding the streams to my Roku (35% cpu per stream). Is there a setting that I need to change to enable the hardware transcoding in EmbyTV? HDHRFling is working correctly (0-1% cpu when streaming), so I know it is possible...

Ok... I'm confused. I found the transcode logs - and it looks like it is using the h264 stream? But where is the CPU overhead coming from?
