jsjcjsjc 0 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 HelloI have a question regarding playing original movies(no transcoding, no hardware Acceleration), Why the performance of playing original movies in LAN is so bad ？I know my NAS server‘s performance is very bad, hardware Acceleration is not possible, so I try to play original movies on my Ipad air…but it looks terrible.so i have to try VLC player on my ipad air(Use Upnp protocol to connect with my NAS), it works great !! 4K HEVC movie is also very smooth. could you please optimize the performance of playing original movies in LAN, like VLC
chef 3804 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 What is the bitrate set to for your client? It sounds like maybe the client bitrates are set low. Start media playback the click the 'cog' icon and raise the bitrate 'mb/s'.

Happy2Play 9292 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 It is all about the client/app. VLC will alway be able to do things others can't. What client/app, what did you play, server and ffmpeg log if present?

I'm pretty sure no ipad has a 4k screen, that would be 3840 x 2160 pixels. What resolution does the ipad support? What are the specs of your Emby server? Edited October 27, 2019 by Pog22

Pog22 52 Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 but the question is VLC on my ipad can play this video very well Yes of course it will, it plays everything. As will Kodi. They have built in encoders and use the device hardware. The Emby app is a client, it makes the server do the work to send it a format it can play natively without using the device hardware 1
jsjcjsjc 0 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Posted October 30, 2019 What version of iOS is your ipad running? IOS 12.0
jsjcjsjc 0 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Posted October 30, 2019 Yes of course it will, it plays everything. As will Kodi. They have built in encoders and use the device hardware.

Pog22 52 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Yes, you are right. but i choose playing original movies, so emby on my ipad will use ipad's hardware i think Original is really try play original, it will tell the server send the highest resolution your device supports. For instance if you were on poor WiFi you would set it to max at a 2mbit 720p stream so it streams better. Edited October 30, 2019 by Pog22
