NASTea 1 Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 I'm just getting started with Emby, and have installed the server software on my ReadyNAS 526X. My plan is to use it mostly as a DVR / live TV server to Shield and Roku endpoints on my home network, with an HDHomerun Quatro doing OTA and an HDHomerun Prime doing cable. Since there's a potential (however unlikely) for 7 concurrent recordings, I was wondering if the ReadyNAS is going to be up to it, since it only has a Pentium D1508 (and obviously, no GPU to offload anything to). I have some parts lying around where I could build a Ryzen 1300X system with an RX580 GPU, but I'd really prefer to avoid the power, noise, and heat generation, if possible.
Luke 39008 Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Hi, what emby apps will you be playing the media with?

I'm finding with the ReadyNAS server that there's serious stuttering with just the Shield running. I ended up throwing it on a dedicated Windows 10 box with an i7-9700k, 48GB, and RX580 GPU, but still get some major stuttering every 5 - 10 minutes on a single HDHomerun Prime stream on the Shield. The Shield can pull a consistent 300 - 400 megabits and the ReadyNAS can't break much higher than 100 megabits anyway, so bandwidth doesn't seem to be the culprit.
