Dear all,
I have a problem with transcoding and especially with transcoding and Live-TV.
1)
Generally:
I think jellyfin transcodes much more than it should. I also use emby and just tried to switch to jellyfin and can compare. With the same media emby use direct play and jellyfin uses transcoding - I don't know why. I guess emby tries direct-play and jellyfin tries to transcode with the bitrate from the settings (300MBit/s which means no transcoding necessary - but it tries to transcode)
2) With Live-TV (m3u Playlist) I have some channels which can't be played because of transcoding issues (same m3u used in emby - there it plays without problems).
I can find the wollowing entries in the log-file:
When disallowing transcoding in the user-rights the same live-TV channel works without problems - but I want to use transcoding in some circumstances so I can't globally disallow it.
3) short finding - the live-tv channel-list is sorted alphabetically in jellyfin - it would be much nicer when the channellist is in the same sorting-direction as in the m3u file (emby uses the order mentioned in the m3u-file which is the same as in the tv-receiver)
Thanks a lot for your help.
