Has there been any feedback from @@Luke or @@ebr as why this is happening? Surely Emby can work out that the source is local, direct from disk and not external. In "single playback" mode? Are you sure it's transcoding or is it a remux? Can you post the media info for one item where this happens? From Emby side of things the live tv engine doesn't know there's actually a local file behind the channel stream. I have to use a direct stream with video and audio copy by ffmpeg because currently it's the only way to seek to the start position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same video Direct Plays in normal Emby, so it's something that either the plugin, or Emby's Live TV routines is mis-playing. If you're using ffmpeg to get to the correct start position, then that's probably it. Not telling you how to code, as I have no idea, but can't you use the resume function code, as that must be doing the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For resume the player has to send multiple http range requests to the server to get the media type, codecs, runtime and finally the start position. Even i would do this in my plugin, it will be lost when the result is hand over to the live tv engine. Only a real media player can interpret the results of the range request. Btw. it's always direct playing with Emby Theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1258 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Okay @@CBers it seems the Android apps only allow .ts as a container for live tv streams. How silly is that [emoji2955] You can also see this in your log folder: The direct stream log is generated by the plugin. Then follows a remux log because the app requests a container swap. Finally you get a transcoding log because the app can't play the remuxed stream. Interestingly it works without transcoding when the plugin already initiates the container swap [emoji54] I will make an option for this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pünktchen 1258 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Okay @@CBers the new option won't help you with the Android TV app. As i've found out it only helps with the Mobile app. The big problem seems to be the audio track codec. Somehow the Android TV app/Exoplayer doesn't like codecs other than AC3 for the live tv stream. I have a Shield and an audio system that can play everything up to True-HD Atmos and DTS-X. With movies from my library there's never a problem, but with live tv stream from my plugin that has a DTS audio track it's like this in the Android TV app: The player starts with direct playback for the video track and local downmix for the audio track (i can see this for one second in the stats for nerds). This doesn't work, so the app requests a direct stream where only the audio is transcoded (remux log). This still doesn't work, so the app requests a full transcode. Then playback is successfull. I will give you the option for a ts stream, but it's up to you and the other guys to solve the audio problem with ebr. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shorty1483 452 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) So much people over at Plex and other Media solutions are screaming for a PseudoTV like solution. And here it is, @@pünktchen created a unique selling point that totally separates Emby from other solutions. Everyone now can enjoy TV, even you have no cable card. To be honest, this is exactly a plugin I would have expected by the Emby Team as an optional core part of Emby.

I will try with my Shield/ATV app later when I get home from work. You are asking questions. How should i know? I don't have all platform devices. I do not even use any of the official apps for watching live tv. I can say it has to be on for the Android Mobile app. For Android TV it depends somehow on the app setting "Direct stream live tv" if you get sound or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
