xd003 5 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) I have hosted my emby server on a vps and accessing it as a client being connected to my home wifi . I am not using transcoding at all .its 100% direct play .i have disabled playback of any media that needs transcode So i am getting very poor networking performance where the video is literally talking 25+ seconds to play after tapping on play . I faced it very consistently in Emby app . I was wondering if my vps or my home internet is having issues or something although after preliminary testing both vps and home wifi seemed perfect . Just out of curiosity i tried emby in my android browser and damm it literally loads the video in mere 3-5 seconds as opposed to 25+ seconds on app Note that I didn't changed my device , its the very same android device connected to the very same home wifi and i comparing playback of the very same video on emby android app and in android browser and the networking performance has a day and night difference . One more interesting thing i would like to add is that there is network indicator in status bar , so while using emby app it is running at speeds less than 100-200 kbps . While when i try in browser , the network indicator bumps around 1-2 mbps . So why is emby app not utilising my internet properly like browser .i hope i someone would help me out Emby Android app v- 3.1.39 Emby Server - v4.5.0.50 Android Browser - Kiwi I have also uploaded a video , please have a look. I am playing the very same video connected to the very same wifi network in very same device . The Emby Android app took around 38-40 seconds while in browser it loaded in 5-7 seconds 2020_09_30_08_42_47.mp4 Edited September 30, 2020 by xd003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8277 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 My guess would auto quality. Do you see a difference if you adjust the quality setting? But if truly direct playing the setting should be irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one question , is the debug log needed or the normal one will do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
