Guest asrequested Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Correct. But MadVR clearly is working as shown by the difference in viewing broadcast TV at 1080i, the jaggies are horrible without it. Curious. It should be there by default. Take a look in your directshowplayer.xml. It may be disabled, some how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrienmd 2 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks for the feedback, just now getting back to this. Didn't mean to sound so flippant in previous response, I think you meant playback options. The Fire TV that's playing it does well with pretty much any h264 source (including Emby's live-transcodes when the TV source is saved as mpeg2 and it's transcoded for playback)... Will dig in further! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obrienmd 2 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 If I understand you correctly, you're asking if when I play live tv which is transcoded "live" (rather than saving the MPEG2 stream for future streaming), does Emby transcode it again? I suppose I haven't checked specifically, but I think I only see a single ffmpeg process in that scenario, which suggests the only transcode happening is the "live" one from the incoming MPEG2 stream to the h.264 recording file. Also, I would generally suspect that it doesn't transcode it again, as the whole point of that feature is to allow direct play (I think) on common devices, an the Fire TV has some pretty serious decode capability. I'll look into it, seems like a good lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) No. Playback of a show that you had transcoded when it was recorded. So a show that the server has converted to the container you chose. When you play it, is it direct playing? I'm just wondering if it's getting transcoded again, when you watch it.

obrienmd 2 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Sorry, just getting back to this. Will check direct play vs. re-transcode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
