Transcoding

Can Trans coding be turned off? I get buffering for the first 20 seconds when I tune into a m3u link.

Set it to original quality, and it won't transcode.

How do I do that?

Can you tell us more about what you’re trying to do and what behavior you’re seeing?

I am using telly and when I use a m3u link it will buffer for about 20 seconds then play normal from there on.

In what way are you using Telly with Channels? What client app are you using?

I have an m3u file on my device. and I am using channels dvr to stream it.

Can you give me a step by step of what you’re trying to accomplish and what your device is?

I’m not going to be able to provide any meaningful input without a lot more detail than you’ve provided so far.

You probably want to update your Telly since a buffering fix was made to the GitHub repo a few hours ago.

how do I update?

You'll need to build it yourself, as the latest beta release does not have this fix - nor the fix for zombies.

Make sure you have the latest go environment, steps to build are then below:
