Hi there, ask them to try lowering their in-app quality setting. That will generally resolve buffering problems. Please see if that helps. Thanks.

After a fews test. It look like direct playing is causing the buffering, another channel it transcode and working well

 

Transcoding (60 fps)
1.0 Mbps H264 AAC
 

Reason for transcoding:
Media bitrate exceeds limit.

 

but i cant get the previous channel wokring with transcoding

That is extremely limited upload bandwidth and is the source of your problem.  I would say that any remote app would not be able to smoothly play with any setting over about 2Mb/s (and that's only one at a time) so have them try that.

yea because when auto - direct it buffer.. i tested with the same tv in local network and it transcodes and it work 

is it normal to be direct in remote acces?

Transcoding (30 fps)
4.1 Mbps H264 AAC

Yes, I'm afraid the "auto" setting in that app is only looking at the client end bandwidth but your limiting factor is your server upload bandwidth.  So, you will need to manually set the app to a lower bitrate.

This setting would do the job? and maybe prevent direct

Internet streaming bitrate limit (Mbps):

 

also could a vpn increase my upload speed and fix my problem?

Yes, and that is what you should do.  Sorry, I didn't think of that.  Set that on the server to 2Mb and see how that works (you may even want to set it to 1 if you have more than one remote user).

No.  Your bandwidth is determined by your connection/contract with your ISP.

It will run through your server, so it's both.

would it be a good suggestion to add option to make m3u dpwnload in client to use less server ressources if not necessary or i has to work that way?

The problem is we can't verify the legality of your m3u content so we run it through your emby server to avoid potentially violating app store policies.

could an option could be added to stream from client but would run by server by default and would require premiere could this pass the app store policies?

No I'm afraid not.  You should realize that all of the app stores have the ability to see any url you are accessing.  Many of them do this and monitor for known illegal streaming sites.
