"established connection was aborted by host software"

Hi.  I'm getting enough buffering to be annoying, both on HD and standard channels. I just checked my server log during the last episode and found this at the time it happened:

• 2018-04-30 12:22:04.604 Error HttpServer: Error in HttpListenerResponseWrapper: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine

When we first started using Emby, the buffering was severe to the point at which my wife wouldn't use it.  I optimized everything I could find (I think...), shutting down all non-essential background activity, tuning our Wifi network and using 5 GHz just for the 3 devices on which we watch Emby-sourced live TV.  I've selected the best Wifi channel (no other users on it, -50 db signal at furthest device, -39 at closest one to access point in a 1 floor 2 BR apartment). We release the tuner before turning off each set each time.  And it works much better now - but we still get the above for several seconds at a time several times a day regardless of channel or renderer. It's not a deal breaker, but it's very frustrating for me (and it's driving my wife nuts).

 

The system includes an HDHomeRun Prime with Comcast M-card, Win7 PC (G630 Pentium, 2.7G, 8 gigs of RAM, latest service pack) running Emby 3.3.1.0, Samsung 55" and Samsung 24" "smart TVs" both running Emby app downloaded from the Samsung app store, plus a Raspberry Pi running Kodi into a not-so-smart Toshiba TV/monitor.  Network Monitor shows 100% quality and 93-95% signal strength on all 3 tuners.  My hardware monitor shows all parameters OK, including core temps of 33 to 40 deg C for both.

 

My best guess right now is that the PC isn't up to the task.  I know it's old and a G630's not a killer chip, but I expected it to be able to handle this as the top CPU  process / service at 3 to 5 on Task Manager. But I thought I'd post this to see if there are any other reasonable solutions before building a new PC just to run my Emby server.  Thanks!

This log looks normal to me. We're about to have a new release so I would suggest trying with that and then we can re-evaluate. Thanks.

Thanks, Luke - will do. Am I then correct in assuming that my 2.7G G630 PC is enough? I don’t need a new computer, but I’d build one as a dedicated Emby server host if it’d improve quality & consistency.
