Edrock200 38 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 My previous emby app had a buffer setting that I could set from to small medium or large. This option seems to be gone now. If that's accurate, what does it default to now? Before I could resolve buffering issues by setting this to large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikinjo 162 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Yes it was removed, no explanation why it was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14897 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Yes, it was removed because it caused more problems than it solved. Setting it to large on most devices could cause a crash of the app playing very high bitrate content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LqHnyBear 23 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Is it possible to get it back? I have several 4k Firesticks and I can Fast forward once or twice and then I get a black screen or a long pause where I can hear audio but video isn't moving. Then when it starts to play properly again, it is no longer DirectPlay it's transcoding do to an error. I never had any issues with the buffer options before. I could literally FF through a 100GB movie and it would tear right through it, playing instantly wherever I stopped and never going from DirectPlay to transcoding. My network is a Wifi6 ax and I'm getting well over 5 Gbps on the WIFI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares? https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LqHnyBear 23 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Tried it on all three Firestick 4k and 1 Firestick 4k Max. The arm7 version works flawlessly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
