usesembyalot 0 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I have a Macbook Pro 15" for mid 2012 with 16GB RAM. Whenever I run emby server the fans kick in 100% and never stop while emby server is running. First question: Is this normal? PS: I am not running anything else. Just vanilla Mac OS Catalina with no added software running at startup. The fans are so loud that it is not fun watching a movie while laptop is in the same room. There is also some issues with streaming to TV where the movie just freezes and I wait 5-15 seconds till it starts playing again. Network is no issue as far as I can tell. Both TV and laptop are close to the router (15 feet) and both on 5ghz. IF this is just the way it is because I have old hardware and need something better, can you please point me to a budget setup that I can buy? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, it really depends on what the server is doing. I have a 4-5 year old macbook air that I use for testing and I don't see this with that, although granted a 2012 model is a bit older. Can you attach an Emby Server log from the time that this happened? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmind11 717 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 sounds like a transcode is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
