Is there any way I can hope to deal with two Canadian CBC channels (CBOT 4.1 & CBOFT 9.1) that broadcast OTA 1080p video at 60 frames per second?
These two channels overwhelm my 4 Android Amlogic 8726-mx (mx2) XBMC clients. They can watch my other 7 1080p channels because they broadcast 30fps. My boxes can handle the full 30fps at about 90-95% processor utilization. But they are quickly overwhelmed by those two 60fps channels. They drop thousands of frames in just a few minutes.
I'm obviously fine watching recorded television once it has been transcoded by MCEBuddy, but I was hoping there was something I could do to facilitate live viewing. Can I somehow reduce the fps count of the original streams before my Android boxes see them?
My back end consists of a Windows 7 machine hosting Windows Media Center and ServerWMC. I have an internal Hauppage dual ATSC tuner and an original HDHomeRun ATSC dual tuner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
