Steaming advice

[Derickva 3]

My emby server is a intel NUC i3 6100u 8 gig of ram  running server 2012r2 and ssd for transcoding

 

Storage wise I have a Free NAS server with 47TB of space so I'm good

I have no problem watching 4k content locally but my remote users sometimes have issues with regular content sd -1080p

 

I have a 250 down 20 up connection I would say max load is 4 people watching at the same time

 

they connect through a pfsence openvpn connection and use kodi on the clients

 

I have the max streaming set up on emby server for 6mb for remote clients

 

My question is if I made a new server with a nvidia card or an SLI setup would it speed things up for them? ie less buffering

 

currently the kodi clients have playback max set at 3mb are there any settings I can adjust better?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi, in this case with Kodi the are likely direct playing most of the time, therefore you're probably better off spending money on a faster cpu rather than gpu.
