DRM Channels

[KarterJK 35]

I currently read an article that stated Emby does not support DRM channels

 

is that true?

 

I haven't looked at Emby in a while.  But when I did use it, one could watch DRM channels, has that changed?

Unless you had a tuner that gave you access to DRM Channels, Emby will usually support anything your tuner supports (HDHomeRun, IPTV, etc..) or side loaded something (WMC, etc..) for the DRM Channels.

I use HDHomeRun Primes..so it did/does provide DRM channels.  The article was incorrect.

Hi.  Emby has never supported true DRM channels.  Now, we can support certain cable company encrypted channels via a tuner with a Cable Card, but not true DRM ones (e.g. HBO, Showtime, etc.) at this time.

 

Perhaps you are thinking of WMC?

DRM and Encrypted channels get confused a lot. Many channels are encrypted but have no DRM and those channels as @@ebr says can be viewed in Emby utilizing a CableCard equipped tuner.

Assuming your provider doesn't suck like mine ... Spectrum ... and lock down, via DRM (actually CCI), all but OTA channels on their cablecard.

Yes. That seems to be most common.
