Thanks could you point out that message so i can pick it up with them?
I eventually managed to get a service where I could try HEVC streams.
I've only lightly tested it at this stage. It generally seems to work.
- can successfully live stream to other clients that can natively play HEVC content
- first play of a IPTV HEVC channel in the web app fails, but any subsequent attempt worked (since it then has a description in the stream metadata for this channel)
- 'Recording Auto Transcode' feature does convert it to H.264, which can mean the file gets bigger. This feature was about converting the recording to a format that can be natively played in a web browser, rather than making a smaller file. It still needs to be converted to H.264 for compatibility with browsers, so doing the correct thing. (only Safari based browsers do HEVC natively)
