My home automation server (HomeSeer), and my unifi controller. It currently houses my new NAS (Freenas),

#MCEBUDDY QUICKSYNC FULL#

Here, about 6 months ago, I went full bore on upgrading my entire server stack. I only started having problems when I started doing DVR functions and chopping commercials out of the recordings.

I have been running on an old AMD Phenom X6 1090T (6 core 3.2/3.6 GHz(circa late 2010)). Up until recently I have been using an old netgear readynas Ultra 4.Īlso depending on the number of clients you have you may not need much from the server. I have Emby theatre and the Netflix app on it. I run a 7th gen Intel i3 7100U NUC as a front end with Windows 10 pro. The later I would buy just for some future proofing, it has more memory and a better cpu, but it does do transcoding and I don't know if that can be turned off.Īs for the NUC, no decision yet, just a minimum config of intel I5 and 4 gigs ram.Īny experienced suggestions would be appreciated. The NAS I have in mind is a synology DS218J (no transcoding) or a synology DS218. The question I have is when purchasing the NAS do I need one that does transcoding? if the server on the NUC is transcoding seems like you want the NAS to just send the file without messing with it.

The NAS will be hardwired to my router and send files wirelessly to the NUC, the NUC will then send the movie to the roku and/or tablets wirelessly. To this end the system I have in mind is purchasing a NAS and moving my library to it, then purchasing a NUC and putting emby on it (and J River MC). I want my server to be always on and be able to stream movies the to roku on my tv, or to tablets etc. I'm finally ready to move into the current century. I just run the server and client off my desktop computer and watch movies there. MCEBuddy has multithreaded supported for conversions starting 2.1.2 (about 20–30% faster vs older versions)ĥ.I've been using emby since before it was emby, always been happy with it.

MCEBuddy has support for creating folders and renaming the output file based on the series/movie dataĤ. MCEBuddy supports multiple simultaneous convresionsģ. MCEBuddy is better at handling folder monitoring (fewer issues with files which are currently being recorded in the folder)Ģ. e.g., if ReMux fails to convert a file (it has limitations), MCEBuddy has a fallback mechanism to Remux the file (albiet it takes longer) without transcoding it.Ĭouple of additional featues that MCEBuddy has:ġ. AVI file).Īlso, the tools used by MCEBuddy and MCTV converter are exactly the same (both use a tool called ReMux) except that MCEBuddy has support more file types (MKV) and failure scenarios. The profile is called NoRecode (it repackages the remuxed.

I will be testing both in the next few days and will update this article accordingly.Īs HunnyPuppy points out in the comments below, MCEBuddy 2 final is out and since 2.1.2 also does a quick remux without transcode, and has several advantagesĪctually MCEBuddy starting Release 2.1.2 also supports a simple remux without transcoding in a few minutes. Can MC-TVConverter do the same? Apparently so! Both features seem to be present. It has a folder monitoring system which automatically detects recorded files, and it has support for removal of advert breaks. MCEBuddy does have some other very useful features however. However, the ts file generated plays back perfectly! Unlike MCEBuddy, MC-TVConverter has done exactly as I hoped - it simply remuxes the streams without any transcoding of the streams. My trial only took just under 5 minutes to crunch the file, and to be honest I wasn’t very optimistic that it had worked.

The file is 4.84Gig and contains H.264 and AC3 streams, and ideally I’d like a new file in ts, mkv or mp4 format which contains the same streams, unaltered. I gave this a quick trial run with a 1:05hr episode of Life recorded from BBC HD. Yesterday I discovered another free tool for converting WTV files, called MC-TVConverter.
