Guest Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) hi, I have problems streaming movies and tv shows using Emby and Kodi. I have tested it on 3 different systems, Nvidia Shield, MacBook Pro and RaspberryPi. On all systems the problem is the same, streaming just randomly stops. Kodi often comes up with “Source Too Slow, Read Rate Low For Continuous Playback”. I would exclude my server to be the problem, because using a browser to stream same videos works without any problem. I tried every Kodi version starting from 18.0, everywhere the same problem. right now I am not sure where to look further. maybe someone had the same problem. thanks embyserver.txt Edited October 3, 2019 by tem_invictus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sualfred 677 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I've noticed the dyndns domain. Is your server stored locally? If yes, you should try the direct IP instead of the domain. I assume the playback is routed thru your internet and the connection is just simply too slow. Edited October 4, 2019 by sualfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 No it is a remote server. And the connection is not too slow as I mentioned in my post. I can play the same videos in a browser (without transcoding) without any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Kodi has it's own buffering cache rules. https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 sorry guys took me a while to test different things. maybe it´s just a coincidence but the only thing I change so far is, disable TCP BBR on my server. until now everything works again on Kodi.
