bearfamily 0 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I am on Emby Server 3.0.6400.0. Upgraded today and this problem existed before the upgrade. I upgraded thinking it might have been related, but I guess not. Essentially, during playback the video pauses itself every 10 - 20 seconds. It's not just a freeze. If I look at the video status it is truly paused. Then it plays itself again. I have tried wireless and over Ethernet. Same result. I don't notice any difference between playback client (AndroidTV via Nexus Player / Nvidia Shield, Android, or PC Browser) I have included the logs but i'm not seeing anything very telling. Please let me know if there is anything else I can pull to investigate. I have included several logs. The only error I'm identifying regularly is pasted below.

Luke 37060 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi, in these particular logs it's happening because the transcoding is not going fast enough to sustain a playable video. It appears to be burning in subtitles, which is a very stressful activity and can cause something like that. can you try a video without subtitles and compare? or try something with text-based subtitles instead of pgs/dvd graphical subtitles. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearfamily 0 Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 That's an interesting assessment. I'll give it a shot and let you know. It appears that in this specific video the pgs/dvd subtitles aren't implemented very smoothly either. I'll see if I can find a better sample.
