Next question are storage pool option Drive Bender or DrivePool what would be better software and why the reason why is because of LiveTV DVR Recording across multiple drives is not possible like in SageTV and NextPVR let alone any kind with load balancing so look like just going have used storage pool option now I add to family members who can used TV Antenna @@@arrbee99@@Smaky Edited February 18, 2020 by SHSPVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1559 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I really don't know enough about this kind of stuff to say anything useful. I guess the usual stuff applies - will there be any transcoding and if so how much. I imagine if its just direct playing stuff either processor would be fine and I would imagine if theres any / much transcoding Quicksync on the Intel would help. I do very little live TV recording so don't have to worry about recording across multiple drives. Don't have one of those SAS things and wouldn't know my storage pool from my elbow. Personally I got a X570 mobo 3700x processor and 1660Super graphics card, but for Emby and our maybe 4 users its kind of overkill. Speeds up Handbrake rather pleasantly though and thought the 1660 transcoding 4K to 1080p for Chrome at about 120fps was quite good... Sorry, dun't help much.

Guest asrequested Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 At that level, go for the intel. QuickSync is far better. But get rid of that liquid cooling crap. Liquid cooling is pretty much just for gamers wanting to overclock, it has no benefit n your use case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I going to disagree with you @ about liquid cooling as my above old server has had it for 8 years that same old H60 only it was 2011 design model and has had it from day one and not only dose it give better air flow in expelling the heat more directly at back of case better with out swirling air flow that traditional air cooler make.

Sammy 735 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I have to agree with @ on the liquid cooling. Spare that expense and get a better processor. I'm very much pleased with my new Ryzen 7 3700x build I just completed. Also, in ten years of doing HTPC's I've not but once found hot swapping necessary. As a matter of fact I have a four bay hot swap cage I'm getting ready to list on eBay this week as I was able to use a five bay cage instead on my new build.

Thanks it more about DVR Recording listed under LiveTV part as is easy to burn to thru lot disk space with 6 user so every few month I have to manuel clean out the old recording because of Emby inability to do proper intelligent recording I hoping they address this, this year a long with some other thing.

Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Thanks @@Sammy for your input but that expense to better processor also req you factor in a dedicated GPU which also take up slot real estate in this case to go along with it and more heat and fans to go with it will add lease another $350+ on top of it, I need the 4 1x PCIe slot. May goal is iGPU solution. We never used 4k Steaming in tell ATSC 3.0 get there and at most I should only see need for 2 or 3 Hardware Acceleration Transcoding need with steam over the internet the rest will be local Steaming to Roku or Amazon Fire Stick or LG Smart TV and Desktop or Laptop or iPad.

Sammy 735 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 If you are going to use the machine as a server client model with no need to watch from it I have an old GT 430 I'll send you via USPS if you're in the USA to use for setting it up and for console use. Not top of the line these days but will get the job done for connecting to a monitor then you can still use the power of the Ryzen 3700 to do your transcoding when necessary for your clients.

Sammy 735 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Oh wow! That's a lot of PCI Tuners! Any chance of simplifying that with a single HDHomeRun Connect Quatro and then getting another one as the budget permits?

Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk LoL would you give up free stuff ? as been working with Hauppauge team on testing there product for last 20 years and that not counting what I use before then like in old days of ISA LoL and no I don't work for them, and who do think hook the Emby crew with Hauppauge Tools and Tuner and I understand that it wasn't great to work with there SDK unlike there Tuner so hope there working a plan B for Emby.

SHSPVR 119 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 Well I end up with Intel setup I really wanted go with AMD 3400G but I was to way later I'm sure as some have notice the price gouging has that starting to creep up way to high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
