Restart service without stopping media

[HTPCS 1]

So every so often i need to restart the emby server ( Service )  to restore performance

 

Qnap 1079 Pro with ssd cache, so servers responding fine. Network is fine. 

 

It is just good practice sometimes when emby server runs sluggish ( no other hosted services affected )

 

So request is

 

Can you restart emby server to refresh its performance without it stopping media playback on any devices that are currently streaming media

 

Service restart normally only takes about 1 but i dont want it affecting playback for other family members. 

 

Thanks, Alan

This would be good... I remember a few months ago, that I could restart my server (pc) and still keep watching media.

In general, no. By for apps that can play files directly using the file path, then those should be ok.

By for apps that can play files directly = Kodi or MBC.

Direct played Iptv streams are not affected by server restarts

Emby Theater as well, for Windows, Linux and Raspberry Pi.

They actually Direct Play and don't go through the server as a stream?
