Hi,
First of all, Merry Christmas to everyone! 😊
I recently set up my IPTV system. I installed Streammaster and integrated both the stream and EPG data. The URLs provided by Streammaster were added to Jellyfin. Most of the streams are in HEVC format. In Jellyfin, I’ve configured hardware transcoding using an NVIDIA GPU with its driver.
I need some help understanding transcoding. The stream from Streammaster comes in HEVC format. I’ve enabled hardware transcoding for this codec, meaning that the encoding is handled by the NVIDIA GPU (with its driver) in hardware, which is faster than software encoding via the CPU. Is that correct so far?
How or in what format (codec) does Jellyfin send the stream to the client? On my client (Linux Mint 21.3), I’m using Jellyfin Media Player (1.11.1). In its settings, there are several parameters related to the video format, etc. What are the best configurations here?
If I understand correctly, it’s generally a good idea to set the parameters so that the server does most of the "work," preparing the data to minimize bandwidth usage and reduce resource consumption on the client side.
Or am I misunderstanding this?
