I have it set for 8 but I notice it when using 2. I am using a rtx 4000 ada gpu

let me see if we need more tuning so it does not stutter a lot you didnt have an issue where direct tv said you ran into a limit
I did not hit a directv limit.
dam thats awsome
yes it is. How do we fix the stuttering? thanks.
so i am testing on vlc on my laptop and tvimate on my tv TV and Channels on my iphone so 3 streams no stuttering issues let me see if i can add a setting so you can tweak some more settings.
So apparently truenas limits gpu access to only 1 container per gpu so i moved channels over to a windows vm with a separate gpu that I was using for mcebuddy. now it only stutters when resuming a channel that it was already tuned to.
you should move to unraid

will consider it.
update the docker and resume should work i did find that sometimes i have to reset the chrome browser in status then change the channel and go back to it and its working
New: Intel VA-API Hardware Acceleration + Multi-Tuner Support
I'm excited to announce the new Intel VA-API Docker image for DirecTV
Stream Tuner! This brings hardware-accelerated encoding to Intel CPUs
with integrated graphics.
New Image
docker pull sunnyside1/directvtuner:intel-vaapi
What's New
Intel VA-API Hardware Acceleration
- Uses Intel Quick Sync Video for H.264 encoding
- Dramatically reduces CPU usage (from 80-100% down to 10-20%)
- Works with Intel 4th gen Core (Haswell) and newer
- Perfect for mini PCs, NUCs, and servers with Intel iGPUs
Multi-Tuner Support (All GPU Images)
- Run up to 3 simultaneous tuners with DVR_NUM_TUNERS=3
- Each tuner gets its own Chrome instance and VNC port
- Log into each tuner separately via noVNC (ports 6080, 6081, 6082)
Auto-Recovery (New in this update)
- Automatically reconnects if Chrome crashes or restarts
- No more manual container reboots needed when things go wrong
- Periodic health checks keep connections alive
Quick Start - Intel VA-API Single Tuner
docker run -d \
--name dvr-tuner-intel \
--privileged \
--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri \
-p 7070:7070 \
-p 6080:6080 \
-v /path/to/dvr-data:/data \
-e TZ=America/New_York \
sunnyside1/directvtuner:intel-vaapi
Intel VA-API Multi-Tuner (3 Tuners)
docker run -d \
--name dvr-tuner-intel \
--privileged \
--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri \
-p 7070:7070 \
-p 6080:6080 \
-p 6081:6081 \
-p 6082:6082 \
-v /path/to/dvr-data:/data \
-e TZ=America/New_York \
-e DVR_NUM_TUNERS=3 \
sunnyside1/directvtuner:intel-vaapi
After starting:
- Open http://YOUR_IP:6080 - Log into Tuner 0
- Open http://YOUR_IP:6081 - Log into Tuner 1
- Open http://YOUR_IP:6082 - Log into Tuner 2
Each tuner needs its own DirecTV login session.

50CENT and A&EHD stutter everything else that I have tested plays fine.
I just fired up the new image for intel and mapped the device to allow it to play nicely with the Synology. When i started it before it spiked the cpu. i'm later on going to test it and see how it does
just fire=ing it up used to hit the memory use hard.
