How can media be "direct streaming" and also transcoding?

[speechles 2055]

Yeah, direct stream creates transcoding info, but there are "isVideoDirect" and "isAudioDirect" flags within the TranscodingInfo object to tell REMUX and DIRECT STREAM apart. The Direct Stream has both isVideoDirect and isAudioDirect as true. The web app has always called it "Direct Stream" when both video and audio are copied. I have no choice but to adopt the terms. I cannot debate. This is anarchy if debate happens. It has to be a council of wise elders who decide that fate. Not solitary individuals or any single whim. It must be a consensus to keep balance and harmony. No one group or individual can feel they are not heard. You cannot speak badly about those who do not get their way. They just made a bad choice. Do not be mad at those who may still vote Trump. They just do not know what it is like to be me. The "Trans" is actually a horrible term to use on the dashboard and the apps interfaces. For Gods sake use "Transcoding" do not make your own shortened words up to summarize anymore. You never know when that short word becomes something disparaging. Do not create short cuts or dumb tech words down so users can digest them. Stop treating users like they are not as smart as developers or even smarter. There are battles fought every day for some people to keep from feeling the world treats them like they are idiots. You shouldn't have to ask these types of question on these forums. This discussion should have been finished years ago. But here we are. Lets hope honesty lights the way in the future. Lets not mince words or abbreviate anything. Lets just put out the real information in its original format without the need to disseminate it into sound bites. Be nice. Be good. Be like E.T. was and have a big glowing heart. You do a good job Cayars. I admire the bullshit you put up with and the text floods you contribute. I do my part too but more information is always a good thing. You are jedi too. We fight for what is right.

 

Also.. just for giggles.. The parser we use on Roku to handle all the various languages is ironically named "trans" and that is 100% my fault, but since it is removed before publishing and changed into byte-code pkg it is only offensive to my eyes (and possibly @ebr and team emby). No one else to suffer seeing that. Just thought I'd say even I am guilty of using it totally innocently and later notice how wrong it was to even do that. It is too late to go changing it now without hours of work and it only offends in code so it is ... history and left.. lol. Every time you have to translate a phrase in the Roku app it means wrapping it with Trans(" ") and I die a little bit inside each time... lol.

 

Complete love Emby too do not take the post the wrong way. In the younger more wild days more things were acceptable. As Emby matures certain things need to be changed such as the use of "Trans" anywhere eyeballs may see it on their screens.

Just to check back I have enabled throttling and that did exactly what I was hoping for. Big thanks to everyone for helping me with this.

Awesome.  Glad that fixed things for you.

We need to look at improving the display text here. Thanks for the feedback.

@Luke It is a small step for one man, but a huge step in the right direction and speaks volumes about what Emby stands for. Thank you for any improvements.  Change shows progress. Progress shows care.
