Performance on Intel NUC 6CAYH

Probably not Emby related, because I see this behaviour on Kodi too.

 

I own a 4K LG television and the Intel NUC in the title. It has a Celeron J3455 cpu and is suitable for 4K@60 output. I have done a bios update to ensure HD audio will go good as well. When I have Emby windowed I see everything running really smooth, but as soon as I go fullscreen video is choppy and the interface is sluggish too. Resulting in a bad experience. The video I am playing is a x264 1080P with stereo audio. Nothing fancy.

 

Taskmanager is at 30% CPU. So that's not the problem too. Both the Windows Store as the downloadable version of Emby Theater show the same behaviour. When I use the webinterface it shows good, but with huge subtitles (set to smallest).

 

Anyone solved this riddle yet?

 

ps: maybe it has something to do with the backdrop? Switching series I allways have to wait for the backdrop to load before I can do anything else and when starting a video the backdrop stays on my screen for 10-30 seconds while I hear the sound of the video.

So power saving and efficiency systems tend to biff up systems that have to do more than just conventional browsing. I would recommend setting windows power options (in control panel) to high performance, and disable speed step technology in bios. Once that is done I would make a backup, then check Intel' website and confirm that you are running the latest versions of video and chipset driver as well as the most up to date firmware.

maybe try something without a video backdrop? or turning video backdrops off?

 

It's not a video, but a static image. Is there an option somewhere to turn them off?

 

 

What is your GPU refresh rate, set to?

 

60hz

I disabled speedstep in the bios. And set energyscheme at high performfance. I also did the same in the Intel software for the GPU. Had my hopes on, but...... did not help.

 

The strange thing is that when I have it windowed (also close to being fullscreen) it works great. As soon as I go fullscreen it goes stuttering with lots of lost frames.

Have you explored the in-app display settings?
