Emby is sorely lacking pretty much everywhere on this page (only mentioned once). Even Media Browser isn't in the other categories. I know anyone directly connected to Emby can't edit the page but I don't feel I know enough of what Emby supports to edit the page myself.

 

What sent me down this path was the addition of being able to "trick play" in 3.0.8100. Is that a feature, in software, that Emby is the first support? If it is, that is really notable and should be documented. It's something that is pretty widely supported in commercially available hardware DVRs (e.g. TiVo) but not in software to run on your own hardware.

Thanks. Maybe you can help edit it?

I updated the General Information section for Emby. I'm rather clueless what to put in the other sections.

"Digital/personal video recorder (DVR/PVR) features"

Guide Info Subscription: DVB free, rest region dependent?

Power Management: No? Seems like a silly thing to have in a column. I don't really get it.

Multiple Tuner Cards Supported: Yes, HD HomeRun?

CableCard: Yes, via HDHomeRun PRIME?

CAM: No?

ATSC: Yes, via HDHomeRun CONNECT/EXTEND?

Automated commercial skipping: No?

Teletext: WTF is that?

Scheduled recordings: Yes

Personalized recording: No? Description: A system similar to TiVo's which enables the DVR/PVR application to record programs based on past viewing habits and interests.

DRM Support: No?

DVB: Yes, via HDHomeRun?

Smartphone playback: Yes

Smartphone syncing: Yes

Smartphone remote control: I don't know

 

 

I have no clue on the video formats, is there a place these are listed? The list:

MPEG-1:

MPEG-2: Yes

MPEG-4 ASP (MPEG-4 Part 2), i.e. DivX, XviD:

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (MPEG-4 Part 10):

HEVC (H.265):

VP8:

VP9:

WMV:

AVI:

ASF:

QuickTime:

MP4:

RealVideo:

MKV:

 

 

Not really sure on Network support either:

Tuner Sharing: Yes, or maybe because it's a new feature? I haven't used it yet.

Hard Disk Pooling: I think yes but I don't really know what it means. I think seamlessly accessing multiple hard drives.

Shared Media Database: Not sure what this means either.

Home Automation: No?

Media Extenders: Yes

Placeshifting/Spaceshifting: Yes

Two-way Remote Control: All of my what?

Second Screen: Eh? I think not. Seeing how it is unknown at all, not sure why that column exists.
