Why what happens when you try it in the web app?

It works but it transcodes on chrome capture. ESPN+ runs normal

As you say it works and as I noted before NextPVR trancodes because the server works on very generic standards and the audio that Chrome uses for some channels doesn't work on all browsers https://caniuse.com/opus There is no special case for Safari.

There is a setting config.xml to turn off transcoding by faking the stream but then channel that do need transcoding like OTA won't work. Changing TranscodeHLS to this will probably do it but I won't support it beyond that. It keeps your h264 video so it is much lighter on the server.

Code:

[ANALYZE_DURATION] [SEEK] -i [SOURCE] -map_metadata -1 -threads [THREADS] -ignore_unknown -map 0:v:0? [PREFERRED_LANGUAGE] -map 0:a:[AUDIO_STREAM] -map -0:s -vcodec copy -acodec aac -ac 2 -c:s copy -hls_time [SEGMENT_DURATION] -start_number 0 -hls_list_size [SEGMENT_COUNT]

So what do I need to modify exactly? How many threads, what is source? I think chrome capture would work great in nextpvr, its a shame it wont work in browser or properly in client.

Edit config.xml <TranscodeHLS>default</TranscodeHLS> by changing the text default to what I posted. You are on your own from here.

Unfortunate. Is there any way to make nlite work better on lower end machines without external gpu.

What sort of lower end machine?

NextPVR.exe and nlite.exe use the same playback components, so should perform pretty similarly. The only major difference in playback is that nlite.exe allows the stream to come over http instead of reading from local files.

What issues are you having when you're using nlite? (this thread is a mixture of comments about various clients, and it's not clear exactly what the issues are)

On laptop I cant handle the strem on nlite. it lags and fps is like 12 fps. Err I am thinking of yauiclient

[mvallevand]

For yauiclient perhaps you client is too low powered for a UI client over the Internet. That is why multiple times I recommended Kodi since UI client is a slow protocol. I also said to try and get nlite working but I don't know how well it works over the Internet. We are on page 6 because of all the repetition.
