kramer15 2 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hello: I am a recent convert to Emby from Plex. I am trying to set up live tv with an iptv m3u account. Everything works, however, Playback buffers, skips, or “loops” (goes back several seconds or minutes) and replays. I have searched the forums for solutions and tried several options, but the issue keeps occurring. I need help with the following: Are my settings correct (will post below). Could it be from my freenas server? (set up below). Would a faster internet connection solve the issue? I have attached the Emby Server log and ffmpg log. Emby (freenas) server settings: Enable hardware acceleration when available: Yes Transcoding thread count: Auto Audio boost when downmixing: 2 H264 encoding preset: Auto H264 encoding CRF: 28 Internet streaming bitrate limit (Mbps): 5 Freenas Server:Intel® Core i5-2300 CPU @ 2.80GHz (4 cores) 5TB 8 gig Ram 11.2 system ffmpgLog.pdf EmbyServerLog.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanipek 220 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Would a faster internet connection solve the issue?You didn't mention what your internet speed is. I believe the bare minimum you would need is 25 Mbps. Is it buffering on both local and remote networks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramer15 2 Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Hi Luke I added two tv guide data proividers one Emby (direct tv, Cox) and the other XmLiTV (iptv-epg.com). Could this be the issue? I have attached the logs. Tom ffmpg.pdf hardware Log.pdf serverlog.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramer15 2 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 I backtracked and deleted the two data guides (direct tv, Cox) and the streaming is working fine again, not sure why that would affect the stream. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
