Thanks for the help on this guys :) Still seems weird to me that it was a media issue but that seems to be what it was.

Is the emby beta not working well, for you?

Not really, for me live tv was freezing a lot. On emby stable its far more rare that it freezes up.

I am not sure why that would be blocked, i have no controls on my router for outbound traffic.

The connection to the mi box is a bit curious.

Pinging it from the emby box its better but not great. Pinging my router is in the fractions os ms.

using the wired adapter it seems to help a lot.

But now i cant bloody log into my emby server from the mi box even on the kids account that doesnt have a pw.

Its saying invalid user when i select my kids account which is on the server.

Not sure if this helps, but when i have emby use vlc to play movies 101 dalmatians starts up quickly.

Something is seriously wrong with your wifi (assuming the first results are wifi)

All but 1 set of results there are with WiFi.

The first result has major impact 192.168.1.179

I would be check this destination from multiple source locations and starting with troubleshooting why reply have such huge latency.

I have recently purchased a Linksys Velop wireless mesh system (3 node but only using two) and after some initial setup and teething problems it has been fantastic, amazing how many issues poor wifi was causing me.

The wifi unit i have is pretty nice, not exactly top of the line but its a lower end business class device. its the tp-link EAP225. My network is modem --> router --> 16 port switch. Everything except my ooma box connects to the switch directly. The ooma box connects direct to the router. I am checking out the settings in the AP but fwiw I am still not seeing response times in seconds, its ms so to reach a second it would be 1k ms. Still though the ping times to the mi box suck compared to the ping times to my router.

 

In fact my laptop is connected to the same AP as the mi box and hell it reaches google.com with better results than my emby server reaching the mi box

Request timed out.

 

I tend to think its likely the mi box on this though.

 

or, it could be i was over saturating the mi box, given proximity to the AP is about 10 inches. I just lowered the tx power on the ap and i am now seeing:

Interesting. Mine is about 3ft from the AP, but the AP is set to auto for the power. Maybe you'll have less issues in general, now?

Maybe, lol i will have to get some time with the mi and test it out. I imagine it will be more responsive at the very least. Wish my ap had a auto option for power. But since 5ghz is kinda short range anyway i am lowering the power on that and leaving the 2.4 high to cover the house and a good part of the back yard.

reducing the power did help a little bit with the connection. I have also tested to my other mi box that is not on the beta firmware and i think that might also be playing a part. One thing i have noticed also with the beta firmware, there are options in this that are clearly meant only for cell phones, like the cellular data controls. So i wonder how well this firmware was expected to work on the mi boxes.

This is the pings to my stock firmware mi box:

64 bytes from 192.168.1.163: icmp_seq=28 ttl=64 time=33.5 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.163: icmp_seq=29 ttl=64 time=54.2 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.163: icmp_seq=30 ttl=64 time=77.2 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.163: icmp_seq=31 ttl=64 time=70.3 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.163: icmp_seq=32 ttl=64 time=20.0 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.163: icmp_seq=33 ttl=64 time=6.18 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.163: icmp_seq=34 ttl=64 time=66.4 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.163: icmp_seq=35 ttl=64 time=87.9 ms

 

From the beta fw: 

64 bytes from 192.168.1.179: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=6.35 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.179: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=728 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.179: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=644 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.179: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=775 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.179: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=799 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.179: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=6.56 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.179: icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=5.98 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.179: icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=5.79 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.179: icmp_seq=9 ttl=64 time=1.88 ms

 

Not the best of test i will agree since they are connected to different access points ( though they are the same make and model AP and connect to the same switch ) but it does make me wonder. 

I am going to look around the web and see if there is a safe way to revert firmware.
