Does my server stream the live tv to my other devices?

Hi there.

 

I'm wondering if now that I have live tv setup on my emby. Thru an IPTV m3u file. If I then play it on my phone say.. is it streaming from my server in the other room to the phone. Or is just facilitating the connection my phone needs to make to see the video over the internet?

 

What I'm wondering is my isp tends to throttle streaming stuff so I'm running a VPN on my server. If I hit play on my phone is it still running thru my server. Thanks!

Hi.  Yes, it should be running through your server.  This is so we can share streams if possible (like two devices watching the same channel).
