ropeguru 1 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 So with all the work going on with putting emby-theater on a PI 4, why do you bother? I have tried multiple setting combinations on a PI 4 4GB device and it is totally unusable. Video is jumpy and worthless, interface is extremely slow, etc.. I used the .12 image build to flash on an sdcard and even insured all the gpu setting were enabled. Then I tried with all of them disabled. All combinations I tried still have the theater as unusable. Am I missing something? (I know, asked be fore in another thread) Looking at top on the PI, I see four emby-theater processes running. Are there supposed to be that many? But even with 1 of them taking 128% cpu when a video is playing, I am still at 50+% idle. So where is the disconnect here as it seems there is plenty of resources left. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

EdwinH 0 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Ropeguru, I tried as well all different kinds of installations on A RPI4. The only reply I got was ' did you disable hardware acceleration' which does not solve the issue. In my forum post 'Trying to setup EMby Theather on RPi 4, help pls' I tried several things, but I got no further replies or advice. IMHO emby theater version .12 is not suited for raspberry 4. I ended up with a standard LibreElec Kody installation with an Emby-con addon on my RPI4, now it plays even X265 smooth! I am looking forward for emby theater .13 version. I hope it will match KODY/EMby-con Edited November 23, 2020 by EdwinH Link to post Share on other sites
GrotShot 28 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I agree. v12 is not useable on the RPI4. Link to post Share on other sites

GrotShot 28 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 As RopeGuru states, it is just a stutter fest. Straight Raspbian install with the arm64.deb Theater installed is unusable. Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 27206 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 We are looking into improving it. Thanks for the feedback. Link to post Share on other sites
Lostboy66 2 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Any updates on this. I just tried 3.0.15 and it also stutters horrible on native h.264 files, and navigation is really slow. By comparison, Kodi is very smooth, no playback issues. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

OurfamilySpot 1 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Just curious, seems like there isn't anyone working on this, I tried the all in one image for raspberrypi Emby Theater and had the same experiences, lots of lags, slow menu responses. Is there any update? Does anyone have Emby Theater working on a RaspberryPi 4, and can they share how they did it? What base os, config, etc? Would really like to do this.

basset 1 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Would be great to have this working. Currently I have a pc under each TV that hosts Emby theatre, but they need upgrading. So raspberry pi could be a cheaper option for me Link to post Share on other sites
