Moved from Windows to Linux

[dcook 266]

So I have moved my EMBY setup to Linux, as I wanted a OS with less overhead and more secure.

 

Everything is working well, however I noticed that ffmpeg uses alot of CPU, for example its using 413% of CPU ?

What version of ffmpeg? What is doing when it is using that much cpu?

In that example the server was playing one show 1.6GB mkv file

 

Version of ffmpeg is the one the Emby setup program told me to download:

I have also noticed in the Linux version that its very very slow to identify meta data, if you look at the screen capture its been like this for over a minute.

Is there any Linux settings for Emby that can make this fast like it was in Windows?

 

My internet connection is fine, so I know there is no issues there.

@@dcook one of our main providers has been up and down for the past several days and this is causing metadata download performance issues. you can learn more about it on their home page:
