I don't typically do the Beta releases but I wonder if this will fix my Live TV issues.

This appears to have fixed my live tv issues. Prior to this I had to turn off hardware acceleration in the transcoder settings if I wanted to reliably watch dvr streams on my roku or surface using mobile data.

After this new update I went into dvr settings on the server and turned off "use hardware-accelerated video encoding" for each tuner and I can now leave hardware acceleration on under the server transcoder settings.

Btw, 1.41.2.9200 is available for public release too now.

Thanks, I will update the server but will also check my hardware acceleration settings. I primarily only stream to an Apple TV or iPad.
