Duplicate DVR HEVC / H.265 encoding

[syadnom 25]

Now that we're seeing hardware fast enough to encode H.265 reasonably, can we can H.265 support for recording in the DVR and transcoding for live TV?

When Emby records shows it doesn't do any encoding at all.  What it does essentially is copy the streams already present saving them to a TS (transport stream) file.  Think of it as a copy of the broadcast saved to disc.

Now where h.265 can be used now is with the convert function.  It could also be used for transcoding and I believe there is a feature request for this already.

I’m wanting to directly store h265 on disk so I only have a single transcode.

Have you checked out our convert media feature? You can convert to hevc after the recording has completed.
