Hi,

 

tried a movie with throttle on, and in emby dashboard transcode details I've always thottle off..

 

tried to disable -> save -> enable -> save

 

this before last update 4.4.1.0 and so now...

Please attach the emby server log. I just tested and it seems to be working just fine.

Looks like you have it turned off here.

Does this only happen on transcoded hevc content?  But to me it looks like the system can not keep up as there are a couple ThrottleBuffer in the log.

here's a log of a transcode from an XVID file..   ffmpeg-transcode-ef3f9578-f122-4c92-9e75-32126c64cb60_1.txt   48KB   1 downloads

I started plya the file and pressed pause..

at the beginning emby says throttle off:   2020-04-08_090943.jpg   33.5KB   2 downloads

 

after a while throttle is active:   2020-04-08_090957.jpg   33.7KB   2 downloads

 

I made the same test with the movie HEVC and throttle remains off at the beginning:   2020-04-08_091245.jpg   30.18KB   2 downloads

after a while is active:   2020-04-08_091447.jpg   30.04KB   2 downloads

The throttle stays off until the buffer is filled and only then it activates the throttle.

So, until the buffer isn't filled the throttle will stay off in the dashboard.

Depending on the transcoding speed this happens quite fast or takes some time.

 

Looking at the snippet in Happy2Play's post, it would probably take a while for that file as it is transcoding slower than realtime speed (speed <1).

 

From your screenshots everything looks normal to me.

I doesn't know this..

thx for your explanation!

Why did you think something was wrong?

Why did you think something was wrong?

 

because when starting playing a movie I always see throttle off.

After a while I noticed that throttle became ON and @neik explained me why..
