Transcoding settings help

[gillmacca 17]

Hi, I'm running latest version on Emby on a QNAP 451+ (not the fastest, but best I could afford at the time).

I am going to be working away from home for a few months, and would love to be able to access my media via Emby remotely. I have tested this with default transcoding settings, but get a lot of buffering. 

My home network has good download speed, but only 1mbps unload.

I know there will probably be some files I won't be able to play (because of the format), but wanted to know if I can watch my content with such a low upload speed (I know the files will probably need transcoding). Some files are SD and some are HD (720p and 1080p).

If it is possible, what would you recommend for best transcoding settings/any other settings?

 

Many thanks for any help

Hi, I would suggest starting with the defaults.

Been doing a bit of testing my end. Disabling hardware acceleration has improved things a lot. Now I only get buffering for the first minute or two. Is there anything else I can change to stop the initial buffering?
