That's what I've done. Those that can't play the 4K material don't get access to it on my server. You do you. The plugin also gave a message as to why they were transcoding and what a possible solution to the fix was. If it was only audio there was also a toggle to allow the 4k to transcode audio IE 7.1 to 2.0, but the cpu killer is on the video side and more often than not its related to peering or something outside of your control in most cases. Me telling the user to set it to max quality wont fix shitty ISPs and their connection to the server in all cases, so better to have fail safes in places to prevent someone from taking up CPU when you could just kill the stream. Also a lot of users just don't want to deal with the settings or don't understand how to do it. But in the end, my users don't like Emby/Emby UI so its a moot point.

cayars 3239 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 BTW, I wasn't telling you how to do this, only how I personally handle this situation. Emby can be used many ways by different people for sure. I've not used this plugin before. Can you tell me when it cuts the stream off what kind of error does the user get on their side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDT it works any more I stopped testing Emby months ago so no idea, someone could fork and update the server api nuget, if you look at the github should be images of output its sends the user a message which is the transcode reason of the server + something like please check your remote quality and audio I think, plus it would either pause/stop the stream, people wanted to customize it but I was already on my way out(depending on client and what the api would support), all using a sched task so you could run it every 1min or 5min or what not, it would also kill paused session over xx time. also the message system isnt universal across all platform/api so another issue. Emby just too many issues to deal with to make it viable. Not all clients implement the same functions, some you couldnt stop only pause, like wtf. Was a nightmare for sure.
