Question about Live-TV traffic with forced transcoding - toucanw0w - 2024-09-15
Hey,
I've set up a Jellyfin server with Live-TV on a dedicated machine in my home network.
Also, i've enabled the option to always transcode media from external sources, e.g. Live-TV.
As far as i understand, if i watch Live-TV from any client in my home network, the connection to the actual streaming server is only active on my Jellyfin server, and not on any client i watch Live-TV from, is this correct?

Correct. When you force transcoding for live TV, only the Jellyfin server connects to the stream source.
