Erik 120 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 @@Luke I can see when i watch live TV that emby requests the stream as "Heavy" for max quality (transcoded of course to h.264 by the HDhomerun extend device). I was just curious if when recording live TV does it also do the same? I only ask as the i had a connect version (MPEG-2) and now with the extend version (H.264) the file size for a 1 hour episode of HD content seems to be about the same. I thought it would be smaller now with the transcoded format. Thanks, Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37109 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 it could yes. you'll have to verify by checking the url requested from the tuner in the server log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37109 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 looks like it didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik 120 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Sorry, im being dense today... I assume you mean it didn't request it as heavy transcode? so it just grabs it as raw then I assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37109 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 yea it grabs the raw stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik 120 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Thanks for the that, I did a test watching form a browser and see the http request is specifically requesting the "heavy" profile there. Is this on the roadmap already, such as a default of heavy or maybe a choice when setting up a recording of what quality you want to record. Or should I make a formal feature request?

Solution Luke 37109 Posted December 1, 2015 Solution Share Posted December 1, 2015 we're planning on doing our own h264 conversion of recording soon. it will also convert the audio so that the file is streaming friendly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
