igeoorge 26 Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hi luke I believe that using NGINX may have made the server faster. Right? There is a matter of being able to load balance ... I will test it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using http2 but the majority of files are being pulled from emby and re-served to the client so having a middle man can actually slow things down a little if nginx is not setup correctly. nginx is usually only used if you have multiple http servers (application servers) that you want to serve to the same two ports 443 & 80 usually. With nginx you also have more control over what you are serving to the clients.. But generally no its not really installed to make things faster especially if you are not using the caching features.

pir8radio 1293 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 About the high use of HD, is it normal? depends, if emby is still scanning images in the background. nginx wouldnt be adding much hd activity. go to start, type resource monitor and go to the disk tab to see what is using the drive.

darkassassin07 434 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) I don't know much about this part, but I believe what you are seeing is responses comming from emby, being buffered to a temp file by nginx, then that buffer being read out to the client connected to nginx. Adding the line: proxy_buffering off; Should prevent this and directly pass responses to the client through nginx. @@pir8radio can you weigh in on this?

darkassassin07 434 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 @darkassassin07 you as always are very helpful, thank you very much. Do you advise disabling this feature or leaving it enabled? I'd say play around with it. Disable it for a bit and see if it improves performance for you. It seems a bit odd that its writing to file at all though. I haven't experienced that myself. How is your ram usage looking? How much do you actually have total? My nginx proxy on a rpi 2b+ only has 1gb ram total and I dont see this so I'm really not certain.

igeoorge 26 Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Hi, Emby and NGINX are on the same server. Currently has 64gb of ram. I disabled it and am testing. Edited August 19, 2019 by igeoorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emby Server 4.4 will have http2 support on Windows and Linux. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
