Hi there, Lately, I have found that my upstream internet connection is running out of bandwidth as multiple people are streaming remotely at the same time. I have access to a second internet connection (in another location). I have a couple of ideas on how I could utilise both internet connections to serve content, however, I am not sure if Emby will support some of these methods and was hoping for some guidence. My ideas are: Idea 1: Co-Located File Stores w/ Single Emby Instance (Preferred idea - But probably not possible) In Location A (LocA) I would have my main server with Emby installed, accessible over the internet at foo.com In Location B (LocB) I would store a file server that is mounted into Emby. This file server is not internet accessible (e.g. Behind a NAT). Through some magic files served from LocB would go directly to the client and not via the LocA Emby instance/internet connection. If I mounted LocB files onto the LocA server (e.g. cifs/rclone/etc) and a user started streaming content from the LocB file server, the flow of traffic would be: LocB -> LocA -> client. This does not solve my issue as I want the flow to be LocB -> client. I assume this is not possible? Idea 2: Replicated Instances (Probably not data safe) LocA has a file store and Emby instance LocB has a file store and Emby instance Sync is setup to replicate content and config Load balancer at foo.com which routes users to the most free instance I can see watch history, user settings, etc not being reliable particually if a client is bounced between instances. 2 way sync would also not be functional, probably. I can also see data corruption in the config files. I dont think this is a great idea either. Idea 3: Replicated Content, Seperate Instances Sync content between LocA and LocB, each with a standalone/independant instance of Emby. Some users will be created on LocA, accessible at fooA.com, others created on LocB, accessible at fooB.com Probably the safest way, though a lot duplicated manual work. I think I would probably need a second Emby Premier license too? Misc Ideas: Upgrade my internet connection ($$$$) Stop using ancient hardware and get something that supports QSV and transcode on the fly at a lower bitrate ($$$$) Tell some of my users/family to suck it and get Netflix subscription Any help or other ideas is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, not really a bug, but something functional : i had no access to internet and wanted to change server configuration via the dashboard, but javascript code references online jquery scripts in http://localhost:8096/mediabrowser/dashboard/dashboard.html : http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.2/jquery.mobile-1.3.2.min.js maybe in future releases you should embedded the jquery libraries (compressed) ? it's not really needed to be online for this, every changes are on localhost/network thanks, Thomas
