Server running slowly

[pinkfamily7 2]

Honestly, I don't know if this is the correct subforum for this, so if it's in the wrong place, feel free to let me know or move it.

 

Lately (in the past few month or so) I've been having issues with "buffering", i.e. spinning circle on my browser client or my Roku's going to the "Loading..." screen over and over again.

 

My server has a business class 1 Gbps up/down connection, and the remote connections (in particular, mine) are trying to watch from a 100/100 Mbps connection, but others have had similar results from better and worse connection.

 

I particular, for whatever reason, Emby seems to be insisting on transcoding at a pretty low bitrate-- in some cases I've seen the dashboard report transcoding at lower than 100 Kbps!  Right now, I have two people streaming-- one watching LiveTV (HDHomerun) via Chrome and one watching a show recorded earlier via the same HDHomerun to a remote Roku Ultra (Roku SG 3.0.175).   The Live TV is transcoding down to 1.3 Mbps and the recorded is transcoding to 1.0 Mbps-- both are set to Auto.

 

I personally have tried it set to Auto, as well as set the resolution and bitrate to everything from 1.5 Mbps to 5 Mbps with no real difference.

 

Speedtests on the server don't really reveal anything-- speedtest.net shows me getting 900+ Mbps upload to a nearby server, and less to remote servers (but still over 100 Mbps).

 

The server hardware itself:

 

Intel Xeon CPU E5-2670 w/16 GB of RAM

 

Currently, I see with the two streams I described above, ffmpeg is showing CPU usages of 150% and 95%, and when I try to load up a stream myself, it has problem even loading the background image of the show I'm trying to watch.

 

Trying to get back to the dashboard right now is particularly painful, even.  Not entirely sure what would be causing this.    Not entirely sure it's an Emby issue, but not entirely sure what else it could be.
