beckfield 91 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I am exploring the DLNA feature of Emby and my CS-N755 Network Hi-Fi Mini System. I can connect, and see my libraries, including my music playlists (HUGE advantage over Plex, BTW), but when I play a playlist, it takes several seconds, perhaps a minute, to start the next track when one finishes. Is this typical, or is there a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hi, it's not typical. While we don't have a CS-N755 Network Hi-Fi Mini System for testing, I can say the overall performance of the next release of the server will be considerably faster, so this might help with that.

beckfield 91 Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) So I finally got around to looking into this. I have installed the beta version of emby-server (Version 3.6.0.78 beta). The behavior has not changed, and it is not exclusive to playlists - it also occurs just playing something from a library. To see if this was just a fact of life with DLNA on my system, I also tried disabling Emby DLNA and enabling Plex DLNA. Plex is able to play tracks with no more than 2 or 3 seconds delay, while Emby is typically well over a minute for each track. I don't know if it will help, but I believe the attached log file includes a period where I was trying to play something over DLNA.

Luke 37046 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 So this is just playing, or when browsing as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckfield 91 Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Yeah, browsing is as responsive as I would expect. Just when I start a track to play, it takes over a minute before it actually starts to play. If there's a queue, there's over a minute delay from the end of one track to the start of the next.

Luke 37046 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Is it a big playlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckfield 91 Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Like I said, it's not just playlists. I could be starting a single track, or an album with 10 tracks, or a playlist with a few hundred tracks. It always takes over a minute to start each track. I just noticed I forgot to attach the log file to my earlier post. It's there now. Edited December 17, 2018 by beckfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Is it transcoding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckfield 91 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 No idea. How do I tell? My library is a mix of .mp3 and .flac. I doubt that bitrates, etc., are consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Are ffmpeg logs generated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckfield 91 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Where would I find them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The regular server log folder, or the Logs section of the server dashboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
