jds828 24 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) I'd say the A6 is a better option. Both could do with a bit more RAM. The router shouldn't be a problem but I reboot never hurts if WiFi speeds start dropping. I would just start a test server on the A6. Don't link all your media, just set up live TV etc and see how it goes. If all goes well, then link it to your media folders on the NAS. EDIT: Just noticed the part about the WiFi. No way of running it direct to the router? Edited March 22, 2016 by jds828 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jds828 24 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 If you can't hard wire the A6 it might be worth checking your router and USB dongle to see if they are both dual band. If they are, split the 2.4 and 5Ghz network and connect to the 5GHz. Or if you have a bit of spare cash, go for a PCI-e based WiFi card. You should see better speeds on the 5Ghz but it won't like lots of connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'm thinking about redoing my whole home server setup with these issues. I know it's not optimal, but it used to work so as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But now, seems like it's broken hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jds828 24 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Try the WiFi before you do anything. It's not going to cost anything to try apart from time. When I build a server, I try and keep it all in one box and as simple as possible. The more systems you have doing separate jobs, the more points of failure you have. It won't hurt anything to keep your existing Emby server online even if you set a new one up. No point in deleting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jds828 24 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 How did you end up setting everything up with the server version and network? I couldn't get HD TV to work up until yesterday. I installed the latest IOS beta app and now they seem to work ok. You'll need to PM @@Luke if you want to use try the test versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsmorency 2 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) Oh sorry. No since it was another computer I started from scratch and went default for emby server and MP plugin. Should I install the beta server too? I will copy your latest proposed dll to me, restart server and post some logs.

jsmorency 2 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Here are my logs with your attached plugin (that was directed to me and not the one for another user later in this post). I use the latest stable server release and not the beta. It SEEMED to last a little longer before it cuts. I tried various bitrate, hence the reason for the multiple logs.

jsmorency 2 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Wow this is awesome. I can stream HD as before with your attached plugin. May I ask what did you do? That being said, I will try with my "other" tv server, the one with the less powerful intel E6600 cpu. I will give the update in case someone has a similar config. So to sum up, I use: Latest stable release from Emby server Your modified plugin for MP Here are my logs as a reference PS: I can stream HD when it is a "new" stream. If I change bitrate on the go, HD is not working (screen freeze on a frame). Have to close stream and restart it. logs.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See here for background informations: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/32960-different-ffmpeg-parameters-lead-to-playback-problem-with-live-tv/Unfortunately without mediainfo you will not get direct play of any stream and Emby will transcode even for Theater! This has to be adjusted either in the iOS app or Emby Server. The MediaPortal plugin only delivers the stream url with or without mediainfo...

bluc 21 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Ok using the version from post 64 of this thread. I put port 4322 into emby service setting and the ip address of my server.
