If yes, what format is configured in tvheadend?
There are a lot of possible options in tvheadend and I'm loathed to try them all only to find it can't be made to work.

Hi,
I never saw a response to the above post, so I'm guessing the answer is no.
So where to start?
Which protocols work best for remote Live/recorded TV

You can use MediaPortal TV-Server, ArgusTV or NextPVR - Guide

Using a dedicated server on your media computer to organize your media may be preferable to allowing Kodi or a MySQL database do it. The content is accessed by using a remote client. Kodi can be an Emby client by using the Emby for Kodi add-on. I think this add-on is compatible with all skins, but some skins are better designed to work with the add-on.

Emby for Kodi works well with DSPlayer but requires path substitution is used for all sources. This is described in the set-up guide.

So, Emby/Plex are server/client applications, while Kodi is best described as a standalone media frontend/server.

I've now tried with only installing Emby as a skin in Kodi just like any other skin, and it is working fine with DSPlayer, so no need for installing any Emby Server I'm using Ember Media Manager to manage my movies.

Thanks for the response - I've read the guide.
All the above suggested servers are all windows servers. I need a linux based back end that is on a separate server using a proper streaming protocl.- sorry windows server is not an option in my setup.
TvHeadEnd conforms to the live-tv plug and protocol architecture used in the main code stream
Why does dsplayer not support live-tv client plugin and protocol architecture?
All it takes is a source filter to correctly support the live-tv client plugin and protocol architecture and all current TV backends will work (instead of doing them one at at time)
I'm obviously missing something here - please enlighten me.

There is no such thing as a emby skin (yet) there is only the emby for kodi addon which will replace your kodi database with one that syncs to the emby server application....using this method any kodi skin is compatible with the addon ( which is why i think it is superior to plex and mysql)

But two very popular kodi skins (titan and a arctic zephyr mod) are developed by emby users to take better advantage of embys features and so the betas of these skins are available in the emby addon repository

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. I still don't see what I gives me more than using the Titan Skin + Kodi and MySQL database sync and Ember Media Manager. Perhaps it is streaming to mobile devices I get extra.

1) Does "Sync playback to display" affect both DVDPlayer and DSPlayer (I'm assuming it does)?

2) When using Reclock, should "Sync playback to display" be UNchecked or does it matter at all (i.e. does Reclock override the Kodi setting or would they be in conflict etc.)?
