Limiting streaming Bandwidth affects local streaming

[ProXy 11]

Hey there,

 

because of my poor upload speed I set a maximum bandwidth for uploading when streaming outside the local network. When I stream to my iPad in the same network this restriction is also active, all streams are extremely blurry. Removing the limit gives a perfect clear stream. I checked my router, the data is routed locally, no upload is done.

 

Any advices on that issue?

hi there @@ProXy, can we please look at an example? please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. thanks !

Hello Luke,

 

here is a server log trying to play a movie. At first the streaming bandwidth was limited, when i started playback the CPU usage increased to 100%. Then i removed the limit and continued with the same movie, CPU was idle.

 

Whenever I set a streaming bandwidth limit, those HTTP-Params can be found in the log: RemoteClientBitrateLimit: 1000000, RemoteIp: 79.201.93.143, IsInLocalNetwork: False

 

Thank you

In the emby server dashboard what ip address does the activity log show for the mobile device?

[ProXy 11]

The dashboard shows my public ip address for the iPad and also for Google Chrome. The PS4 is accessing with the local ip address.

So for the ipad this is expected behavior, no? It is not connected over wifi.

[ProXy 11]

The iPad is connected to the wifi, so it should be connected using the local ip.

Not sure if related but I noticed in your log file that the Host= field it looks like you have a typo in the address. You have htp://ip.

[ProXy 11]

Thanks for your answer, but I guess it is right. I have a dyndns host called htp.synology.me and another one called htp.bitstudio.org

[FunkadelicRelic 10]

Haha, well that explains that then. Was just trawling some logs to see if mine matched (I am battling a HAProxy issue) and it jumped out at me. As you were [emoji23]

I did a fresh install yesterday but most of my local devices appear with the public ip address on the dashboard. Is there any workaround for this?

[Luke 37093]

If you launch the app then it will connect with the correct address, e.g. local/remote.

 

I think the issue is that if you launch the app remotely, then enter your home network, it won't automatically switch. That's something we can review for a future update to the app. Thanks.

Are you using the browser or iOS app?

[ProXy 11]

iPad: iOS App -> public ip address

Windows 10: Google Chrome -> public ip address

PS4: Browser -> local ip address

 

You are right, i am using the external address to access emby, but why will the PS4 still use the internal ip address while the other devices are not?

[Luke 37093]

In the web app (chrome) whatever address you put in the browser address bar, that's what will be used. Does that answer your question?
