transcoding does not start

[Davicom 5]

From windows emby theater, i'm connected to my ubuntu emby server, through openvpn ptp. I need to watch live tv, but direct stream is affected with repeated buffering, probably because on windows i can connect me just through 4g lte. So i tried to reduce, bitrate on client size, but this doesn't affect nothing on server side: I obtain ever just direct stream with no gpu nvidia transcoding. I tried several low resolution, bitrate and internet speed without success. Could you help me in this case?

The best way is to use xTeve or use external video player in settings and set with VLC
