Disable DVR function from client viewing?

[Volta10 1]

Hi.  I want to live stream 6 to 7 devices at a time.  I found out the weakest link is my hard drive.  It cannot handle storing Transcoding temporary files of 6 tuners on at the same time.  Videos will freeze up or drop off completely.  I don't care about instant rewind.  Is there an option I can just remove temporary transcoding have Emby stream live tv directly to client devices?

Not that I am aware of but there are changes coming in 4.7.

• Clean HLS segments during playback when disk space is low

Hi.  I believe some have had success in this area by putting their transcoding temp on a fast SSD.

We would all love to "Direct Play" with no interaction by Emby. I think @Lukehas said he would look into this or future release or something.

This would make it so much easier to put Emby on a Micro Server without it filling up entire disk space with stream segments. I too do not care about the rewind function, but I would love to have a option to use "Catch-Up TV".

That has been the easiest way to give some extra head room to the transcode process making it work a little better.

I've personally found for me it's mpeg2 that cause the issues and not h.264 streams.
I notice the difference the most for 1080i sports matches.

I'm doing a little experiment right now all through the Olympics which I've been watching on NBC (mpeg2) and USA (h.264) from Xfinity/Comcast.
So what I'm doing is feeding my hdhomerun through another program converting any mpeg2 stream to h.264 so Emby is only getting h.264 channels.

I've not had any of the typical issues I was see before watching sports especially very fast scenes which we've had plenty in the Olympics.

This is using the .17 beta release same as my other testing.

Option to eliminate this stream "buffering" is what I would prefer Example: TiviMate
