mike3821 61 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Does Emby not support direct playing of hdhomerun? I am using a Nvidia Sheild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike3821 61 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) So I figured out how to direct play. Just surprised it doesn’t auto detect this. Edited May 5, 2021 by mike3821 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't transcoding; it's remuxing on the fly to direct stream. There's no quality loss but rather a repackage to h.264 from mpegts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37251 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Did you explore the stats feature in the video player to learn why it was transcoding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike3821 61 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 I will take a look again once I'm in front of the TV and run through the test again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike3821 61 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) I apologies guys, when I pick the switch playback mode it changes to direct streaming. this gives me the ability to pause and rewind. Is it not possible to have this on by default so this pop up doesn’t come up? Edited May 5, 2021 by mike3821 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no quality loss but rather a repackage to h.264 from mpegts. Going from mpegts to h.264 would be the very definition of a transcode. 27 minutes ago, mike3821 said: I apologies guys, when I pick the switch playback mode it changes to direct streaming. this gives me the ability to pause and rewind.

I have, and the only option I recall is telling it to direct play. It's either a check mark or not a check mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Turn that option off if you want it to remux (for seeking). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14959 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 It depends on your normal usage. My advice would be to leave the direct play on and only engage the seek mode when you really need it - unless you are in the habit of always pausing your live TV. In that case, I would leave it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
