Volta10 1 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Can someone recommend the type of CPU processor, RAM, and MOBO that can stream up to 6 simultaneous Live HD channels? My current build: i5 @3.40GHz w/ 16bg cannot handle more than 2 feeds. Edited January 27, 2015 by Volta10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Maybe you should switch from transcoding on the server side to transcoding on the client side? A i5 with 3,4 GHz is realy fast and I don't think that you will get a much better performance with an i7 or Xeon CPU. I'm having and old AMD A6 CPU in my TV-Server and using it with 3 to 4 XBMC clients simultaneously without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your setup described above transcode from the client side? I want to view tv over the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Ah, ok sorry, my setup won't work when you try to stream over the internet. I have 6 XBMC/Kodi Clients in my Network (The 4 from my signature + 2 Android Phones). And these clients do transcoding on their own, with the installed Kodi Plugins for the corresponding PVR-Backends. But when you do streaming over the internet your server has to do for shure the transcoding stuff. You can try it with a i7 or Xeon CPU, maybe you will benefit from more cores, but i don't think it will help much. Maybe someone other around here do also simultaneous streaming over the internet and can post his setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
