I have a server consisting of the following hardware:
Asrock N68C-GS FX
AMD fx 4800
8 GB of Dual Channel DDR3 1600 RAM
A generic usb 3.0 drive as boot drive
A seagate barracuda 3TB HDD for media storage
Ubuntu server 16.04.3 as OS
playback on Chrome on a windows 10 pc
When playing videos, the playback seems to drop very often and buffering seems to take forever. However when looking in the dashboard I often see that the server is either direct streaming or transcoding at over 60 frames per second. I also notice that when playing media firstly the process takes up around 60 to 70% of the cpu, at which point the playback is fine. However after some time the process disappears, and the playback stop, it then takes about a good 5 minutes for a new process to start streaming the media again.
I have tried reinstalling emby-server as well has tried multiple versions of ffmpeg, however nothing seems to work.
I hope someone else can spot the issue and bring me the sweet joy of smooth video playback
