Luke 37161 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 hi @@catso, what's happening is it is streaming through emby server: 2017-10-02 07:28:44.2723,Info,,Internal Player about to play 1 - The Holy Trinity(http://192.168.0.112:8096/emby/videos/faf42d70df8936190e4dacdd0b23914e/stream.asf?DeviceId=198dad94debe438abe4c92527c46bbf3&MediaSourceId=faf42d70df8936190e4dacdd0b23914e&VideoCodec=msmpeg4&AudioCodec=wmav2&AudioStreamIndex=1&VideoBitrate=29872000&AudioBitrate=128000&MaxAudioChannels=2&api_key=bfb5731ac6354242a95c74cdbcc5b52c&CopyTimestamps=false&ForceLiveStream=false) ,1,Application Since WMC has limited streaming capabilities, this results in sub-par playback. What you need to do is configure your server libraries so that the machine running Emby for WMC can directly access the files over your network. If you do that then this issue will go away. @@Teddy in case you have any wmc tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catso 0 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 I have my media data on a NAS and used the Mapped drive on the server instead of the NAS network address, once i changed that it started working...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37161 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 @@catso, we highly discourage using windows mapped drives. windows will disconnect them when the drives idle and emby server will not be able to connect to them. inevitably you will just end up coming back here telling us that something isn't working. I would use the original network address in emby server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jachin99 82 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'll chime in here, I've found that turning power management features off in windows usually goes a long way. My server never sleeps, and when I am able I'm going to build a dedicated media player PC so that all it does is serve files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
