mastrmind11 717 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I am getting hi CPU usage on transcode 4k file. Here is a copy of my ffmpeg log your server can't keep up... 7fps is not gonna be a nice experience. Why do you think it would be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutch1918 1 Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Apparently this only happens when I use the Firefox app. It's ok when I use the Samsung or Firetv app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37063 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 @@dutch1918 firefox doesn't support the original media format and so therefore the server has to transcode. This can be a very intensive process for your server machine. Your options are: Use Emby apps that support more media formats without transcoding, such as Samsung, Android/Fire TV, iOS, etc. Limit your playback to files that can direct play, such as mp4 with h264 video Check out Emby Server's media conversion feature to help you automate converting these to more streaming friendly formats. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiaraAlis 15 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Is the Hardware Acceleration enabled in the emby transcoding settings? If you switch to "Advanced" you should see some hardware decoders. If not, make sure you have added the `embysrv` user in the video group in DSM and restart Emby via the DSM package manager (restart in Emby is not enough).

And also follow our hardware acceleration setup guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
