JeremyFr79 228 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Sorry if I put this in the wrong part of the forum please feel free to move the ServerWMC portion if need be. Ok onto my issue. In a nutshell I have an HTPC running Win7 with WMC and a pair of Ceton tuners. I user ServerWMC to broker the TV data over to Emby. At anyrate the issue I'm running into is that I cannot watch LiveTV in EmbyTheater unless I have HTTP enabled under ServerWMC for just the Live Streams (recorded TV works fine without HTTP) If I shut off HTTP completely it will start to play the channel for 1-2 seconds and then stop abruptly and return to the information screen. Any ideas? I can post logs later if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37213 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Because without http it's a file and ffmpeg will stop when it thinks it has reached the end of the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37213 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Yes, you mount an http server and you stream it so that ffmpeg will treat it as an infinite stream, which is exactly what the ServerWMC http option does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37213 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 If Emby had an internal workaround, this is exactly what it would do, so the end result would be the same. Any non-seekable protocol is a workaround because it prevents ffmpeg from determining the duration. so you could pipe it, use rtmp, rtsp, etc, but http is the most practical.
