chudak 23 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Tried streaming 4K video on Intel I7 16GB RAM, 4 core box and Emby pegged all CPUs at 100% and was not really working well. What is expected behavior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hi. Were you running the beta of the server on Android? Please provide more specifics about exactly what you did.

chudak 23 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 I run emby as I said on Intel I7 16GB RAM, 4 core box ubuntu 16.04 And did not modify any transcoding settings, pls see here https://snag.gy/OuZtnU.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37248 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hevc transcoding via CPU is very expensive as others have said. These kinds of results are not surprising. What kind of GPU do you have? You might have some options there to enable hardware transcoding features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37248 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 First thing to do would be to find out if your GPU supports Intel QuickSync with HEVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1114 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Which CPU model do you have specifically? Looks like it might be a Broadwell-U, perhaps a i7-5600U, which is a 5th generation mobile CPU and not overly powerful.

chudak 23 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Well played with and without h/w Hardware acceleration and emby server simply won't stream. Plex, on the other hand, streams same video on the same h/w video etc ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plex, on the other hand, streams same video on the same h/w video etc ! Could it be that Plex server is transcoding the video content and not actually delivering 4K content? I can play 4K (265) content fine with nvidia GT 1030 which supports hardware acceleration of 265content (running Windows 10 for emby server and emby theatre) Edited April 28, 2018 by PrincessClevage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
