harrying 6 Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 I am attempting to replace XBOX 360 Extender and Media Center with XBOX One and Emby I have two HD Homeruns as tuners attached to XFINITY cable cards TV - Sony KDL-52XBR9 Among the problems: 1 - The Guide is clunky and requires to many clicks to start a live program 2 - Some stations Direct Stream 3 - Some stations transcode I can play all these stations directly to the TV via DLNA through the HD HOMERUNS with no problems (of course I can't record etc) - This bypasses Emby And all works great with the extender and WMC - too bad Microsoft dropped support I have been patient with Emby knowing that it is a work in progress, but although there have been great improvements - the live tv area is still not performing anywhere close to WMC A good first step would be for all cable tv to direct play - any thoughts on when I can expect this 1

Your xbox one will only output progressive video to the TV so everything coming out of it needs to be using progressive. Anything that is mpeg2video or interlaced will get transcoded by Emby which will be the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, FOX). Your other channels I bet are being sent to your Prime using H.264 codec and not mpeg2video. TVs handle DLNA differently (one brand to another). For YOU, when you use the TV directly you bypass the xbox one of course and the TV is able to deinterlace and use mpeg2video so it doesn't have any issues. This is the nature of the beast.
