Compression ratio in subscriptions

Backin69

Hi,

Just a quick one. I set up a profile that should be basically just passing on the video file with no transcoding.
However, I've nothing that it is showing a compression ratio of about 1.2X

Is this as it's removing data streams or something? Is there anyway to view this?

1.2X seems like a lot for what might be an interactive service or a additional audio track.

Backin69 for sure is removing some things ... because MPEG-TS from broadcast has information that is not passed when you enable transcoding. Even if you select container MPEG-TS/avlib only a subset of information is populated. For example: in my area each stream has EPG also from other channels broadcasted form the same transponder ... transcoding process will remove the EPGs that are not for your selected channel. Save that mux and use "PROMAX TS analyzer" the see what info is before transcoding and after. Read tvheadend/tvheadend1814 this thread where we tried to add information from input container MPEG-TS to output container MPEG-TS.

Excellent! This is what I actually wanted to see. I wil try that later.
I'm just very suss that one of the channels shows only 1/2 it's bitrate being used for the video! I was worried I was still somehow re-encoding the stream, which is not what I wanted.
