Luke 37115 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hi, this option only applies to recording with the built in live tv features, in other words, without the next pvr plugin. Perhaps in a future update we will look at extending support to the plugins as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcm00re 18 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I second the motion to be able to record directly to mp4 -- and it'd be really nice if hardware encoding was supported too! A guy can dream can't he? Seriously, I feel a late model processor that has hardware coding (like an Intel i7-6700) should easily be able to handle doing real-time mp4 encoding of OTA signals. It would be a big plus because then the file saved/recorded would already be compatible with many streaming devices -- like Rokus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have 2 HDHR Prime units. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can already record directly to mp4 with the built in HD Homerun support (and M3U). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcm00re 18 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 We can already record directly to mp4 with the built in HD Homerun support (and M3U). I assume you are talking about the HDhomerun EXTEND that outputs mp4, correct? We are talking about all the other HDhomerun units that output the OTA mpeg2 signal; it would be cool if Emby could support taking that stream and transcoding it (on the fly) with the saved recording being in mp4 -- and doing so using the hardware encoders in today's processors (and video cards).

Luke 37115 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 We do support that. You don't need to use the Extend model. The other HD Homerun network models are fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The server has this option if you use any HDHR device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcm00re 18 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Thanks for straightening me out guys! That said, I'm not seeing that option anywhere (with my HDHR-US device). Edited March 29, 2017 by bcm00re Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcm00re 18 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Nope. All I see when I go to Live TV is: Tuners Devices, Guider Providers, and Tuners. I do not yet have Emby Premiere, but the note I see on your screen shot implies I should at lease see the option now. I am on the latest Emby (3.2.10).

Luke 37115 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Have you explored all areas of the live TV section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcm00re 18 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Have you explored all areas of the live TV section?There isn't much there, and I have dug around all three areas under Live TV. I am obviously missing something. I've done some Google searches and looked over the wiki (on gitHub) and cannot find the settings shown by Doofus above.

bcm00re 18 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thanks again! I have never noticed the additional options in that area. Some selections (on the left) don't have them at all -- so somehow I have missed them all along. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcm00re 18 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 They can, and mine will convert 3 streams at a time, with ease. But I have 2 HDHR Prime units.What version of ffmpeg are you using? Is it one from Zeranoe? The one that comes with (even the latest version of) Emby doesn't seem to work -- at least not when I tried hardware encoding with steaming Live TV. Was there any additional setup/tricks to do beyond just pointing Emby to a 'good' version of ffmpeg? Thanks again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Hardware encoding isn't enabled for recording TV. The CPU does all the work. It's only enabled for playbwck/streaming. I thought it was, but recently discovered it isn't. So if you're asking about transcoding a live stream, then HWA should be enabled. And I'm using the Emby build of ffmpeg.
