View Live does use the VLC player plugin but it uses the transcoder setup that sub has built in which I believe is FFMPEG. By default I believe the npvr config is setup to stream the raw feed (i.e. no transcoding). You need to change something (I can't remember what) in the npvr config to use transcoding instead of streaming and also to set a setting if you want to allow the streaming and transcoding to go outside of the local network.
The info above only works for the Watch Now from within the details screen pop-up and from the Stream buttons on manage recordings.
I didn't realize that. Now I know that to use those settings, I've got to go into the program details and start stream. I will test this.
Does anyone know of a thread that discusses the settings for the "built-in" streaming option, how/where to change them and any recommended settings?
