RC_EMBY 0 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I have a HD HomeRun Connect and have the software installed on the same windows 10 machine I use for my emby server. When sharing live TV via the HDHOMERUN Emby plugin the quality is very inconsistent, especially when I view from clients ( Nexus Player) that are not on my network. I know the signal is fine because Live TV plays perfect when i use the Kodi Plugin. Any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37051 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hi, welcome. We would need a little more information to diagnose, see how to report a media playback issue. But generally speaking, if the device playing the content doesn't natively support the video stream, then we have to use a process called transcoding in order to convert it on the fly into a format that the device understands. Occasionally this can have some effect on quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC_EMBY 0 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Thanks for the quick response, I will be able to provide a server log this evening. The Emby Server is a Windows 10 Desktop with SSD, 16gb of RAM and an intel Xeon E3 3.4ghz processor, so i dont think transcoding should be affecting quality this much. Do you have a guide to get HD Home Run working with EMBY, or does it just natively work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37051 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Here is our live tv wiki which you can check out: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Live%20TV but it should pretty much just work on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC_EMBY 0 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 I have attached the transcode log from when I attempted to watch Live TV via the emby Android Application. Videos from my server played just fine before and after... transcode-a0e46ed5-59ff-41a2-a1d2-0053d189873d.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37051 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Is there an issue to report with this log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC_EMBY 0 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Yes, Live TV was extremely choppy, and pixelated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37051 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Your transcoding fps is just enough to be playable, so that should generally be OK. The only thing I can think of suggesting is checking on your HDHR signal quality using the HDHR software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you are running the latest firmware as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC_EMBY 0 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks guys, I have the latest firmware installed. Even when using Emby on my local network to watch live TV, it is very choppy and pretty much unusable compared to when I use KODI on the same Devices ( Nexus player & Nvidia Shield) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
