silow 0 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 My current setup is a HDHomrun Prime using a cablecard with Comcast service, Win 7 WMC as PVR, ServerWMC, and Emby. In the GPU transcoding thread under General Discussion Luke mentioned the current build of Emby (5818) will transcode Live TV streams using Quicksync but only if media info such as encoding is known. I reviewed my transcoding logs and it appears container is passed to Emby but not encoding. Is this a function of available media info from the service provider (Comcast), the HDHomerun, or ServerWMC? It would be pretty nice to get QSV working with Live TV streams via ServerWMC.

Luke 37008 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 There's not much krustyreturns can do about this because the media info of the live tv stream isn't known in advance, and serverwmc doesn't do any probing (like most of the other tv plugins don't).

krustyreturns 191 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Not necessarily. If serverwmc has been configured to use the tuner's dlna capabilities for live streams, then you are right that it does no probing of the live stream. But if dlna is turned off, serverwmc does probe the live stream and does send back media info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krustyreturns 191 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) @@silow, You don't have to disable it, all you have to do is tell serverwmc not to use it. If you go to the 'Live TV' tab in serverwmc, at the bottom you'll see dlna mode. Make sure emby is unchecked.

silow 0 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Disabled DNLA for Emby in ServerWMC and looks like Emby is attempting to use QSV now but getting the following error in the transcode log: [mpeg2_qsv @ 00000000035afa00] Error initializing an internal MFX session Error while decoding stream #0:2: Error number -40 occurred Tried doing a google search but could not find any info on this error number. transcode-c843e4e8-36ae-491c-9670-ad8340f812d9.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyreturns 191 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Well the media info got there at least . The first error (out of order) on dts is specific to h264 streams and serverwmc. The latest version of serverwmc fixes this (1227) give it a try and see if you get any further in the transcode. To get the latest version choose 'Preview' on the update tab of serverwmc.

krustyreturns 191 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 And its the same error even though the stream is mpeg2. Without more info I don't know what to do from here. If you find out is what is causing it I'd be willing to make whatever changes I need to on my side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFC 25 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I can confirm that QuickSync works using ServerWMC. All my tuners are non-dlna, so I didn't have to adjust the dlna mode options. Here's the log to a successful Live Tv transcode: transcode-f055ea5c-734e-4844-a137-bf20bf5b511d.txt However, playback of .wtv recordings with QuickSync enabled plays at the incorrect aspect ratio - all files play at 704x480 resolution Here's the transcode log of a playback: (QSV) transcode-8a7330fe-0a63-499d-837b-b14c6d8ca9df.txt and here's the same file, with QuickSync turned off (auto mode) which plays correctly: (Auto) transcode-ec468f70-83d5-4ef7-9557-6c44488c544e.txt Pretty weird.
