Louis6677 0 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hi, I need some advice on the following please. I use the EMBY App on my Roku 4 and have a 600mb internet line. To access movies or TV shows via the Roku takes forever to load and most of the time the content never plays. Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClaus 11 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I have noticed this as well. It is slow bringing up the shows page and movies page. I can play the media I just have to wait a bit. I will provide the logs and a video here tonight. I have tried both the normal channel and beta channel and both respond similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking 3-5 seconds or 30 seconds and at exactly what point? I think this may just be the app gathering media information and defaults before displaying the detail screen. Also, FYI, you can play your item by just hitting the "Play" button on the remote without bringing up the detail screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also happens between libraries. So I have a TV shows library for my wife and one for my shows and one for our shows. When I get out of one and go into another it takes 30 seconds or longer to show the library. As for your 2nd question. I have never done that. I normally go into the details page and then press play. Especially for TV Shows since it shows Play All for several seconds before showing the correct episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14862 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Okay, so you are talking about the library views themselves not the detail screen taking a while. How many movies and TV shows do you have? How does the performance compare to the web app from the same location/network? Is it local or remote?

speechles 1912 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Is it your "Next Up" row that is slowing it all down? You say it winds up on "Play All" for awhile before moving to the correct episode. This too me would mean it is the Next Up having the performance issue. We can look into this and see what the times wind up. You can also use this program below: https://sqlitebrowser.org/ DB Browser for SQLite (DB4S) is a high quality, visual, open source tool to create, design, and edit database files compatible with SQLite. Open your library.db from within Emby-Server/data/ and then choose "compact database" from the menu. It may look like the app hung or isn't responding while it does its thing. Just let it finish. After this it should load much faster. Try this and let me know what you think. Thanks. You must stop Emby server before you can compact the library.db.

mikeraburn 60 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 This is odd. This WAS happening to me the past week. Slow loading. When this happens to me, I reboot my Synology Server, reboot my router, and reboot the Roku Ultra. Even though I am wifi on the Roku Ultra. I took the time to perform the above colonic last night and I am clean as a whistle for a few months. It other words....I am back to normal....

les ismore 0 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Wow, waiting only 30 seconds to get to movies on my Windows desktop server, from Roku Express via wi-fi cable modem/router, would seem like a nanosecond! I've tried everything I can find, think about, or guess just to (someday) get past the little "wheels on the bus" mind-f___. It never gets past that point lately. Emby server (beta) is up to date. I've reinstalled it several times using Opera browser. I've deleted server, added server, restarted server, added new users, changed usernames, allowed remote connections, preferred but not required secured connections, enabled automatic port mapping, tried signing in with Emby Connect and connecting with server manually, etc., etc., etc., blah, blah, blah. It is the free beta version but still...REALLY? Any questions? Any answers? Thank you please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
