Hi,
I've installed a Sat>IP receiver last week and checked some TV server solutions over the weekend - ending with TVH as the best fitting solution for me. Great piece of software, thanks to the team for their incredible work!
One application is to enable me watching the german TV programs while traveling. That works basically good with Kodi on my MacBook and I've created a stream profile for that user which transcodes with a limit of 2MBit/s which fits in most cases to the available connection bandwith.
I've noticed that watching live TV works pretty good, but when I want to watch a recorded show from the DVR it ends up in stuttering and buffering. Checking the transmission rates on my router I come to the conclusion that TVH seems to completely ignore the stream profile of the user which results in no transcoding and overloading the WAN connection with the bitrate of the original quality.
Is that a known bug?
I don't currently see a proper workaround as a recording profile which does the transcoding during recording is no real solution: It will drop the quality when we watch recordings at home and increaes the CPU load when 2 or more HD streams are recoreded in parallel.
Any ideas are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marco
