Nisten 15 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I've been testing the playback quality and consistency for Recorded Media through my HDHOMERUN Connect. My roku 2 can play my local dvds and bluray files without any issues. However, I recently recorded a "Track and Field" sports program and it constantly buffers/loads every 1-3 minutes when I try to play it back on my roku 2. Emby is set to: -Convert to MP4 on the fly -Preserve original video & audio -Transcoding is set to "Auto" for the thread count -"Throttling" is enabled for Transcoding Roku is set to: -30 Mbps UHD for the Video Quality Stream (i changed this to 20 Mbps but with no effect) S7 Edge is set to -20 Mbps HD for the Video Quality Stream (also successfully tested this as 30 Mbps for the stream) Connection -I have a 50 Mbps connection and my roku 2 is wired to a gigabit Ethernet port on my Router. -S7 Edge was on a Wireless AC connection with a link rate of 400 Mbps plus Now I tried playing back the same "Track & Field" recording on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge through the Emby Android App and I had no problems whatsoever. I was reading on similar issues reported and i'm thinking the issue might be because the roku 2 can't play back the native framerate so its still transcoding even though its in a streaming-friendly format but if that is the case, I want to know how to go about fixing it. The 1057pm file should be the roku playback log while the 1054pm file should be the S7 Edge playback log. 7-11-17 @ 1054pm.txt 7-11-17 @ 1057pm.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ebr 14902 Posted July 12, 2017 Solution Share Posted July 12, 2017 The transcoding speed (20fps) does not appear to be fast enough for smooth playback. Emby is set to: -Convert to MP4 on the fly -Preserve original video & audio -Transcoding is set to "Auto" for the thread count -"Throttling" is enabled for Transcoding You set the system to preserve the original video and audio - not convert it. If you deselect that, it will probably convert it to something that doesn't have to be transcoded on the Roku. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisten 15 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Would there be a noticeable drop in video quality if the preserve original video option is unchecked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
