using openDCT with Emby?

[neptunepic 11]

Hi all, is it possible to use openDCT for tuning with HDHR Prime rather than use Emby's native tuning method?

During my testing with openDCT I'm finding that it produces cleaner recordings, with less artifacting and dropouts.

For example using SageTV with openDCT my recordings don't stutter or break up, ever. Not the case with Emby.

Is this possible?

Does anyone have thoughts on this?

How does OpenDCT work?

Well I'm certainly not an expert but it's an open source digital cable network tuner. It can discover any tuners on your local network and control them for tuning and recording.

Here's the github page--

We don't have direct support for opendct, so that means it would need to have an m3u output feature.

Yeah I'm not sure if it does but for now I'm using SageTV to record via OpenDCT and then move files into Emby for viewing.

For whatever reason the SageTV+OpenDCT combo is more stable and has fewer glitches than Emby's native recording.
