tmenzzz 0 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Recently switched from PC to 2017 Shield TV for my Emby Server and now have an issue with high bitrate content. Drives are SMB mounted and have no issues if I switch to my PC as the Emby Server, but with the Shield as the server the problems exist. Everything is on Cat 6. Is this a known issue? EDIT: This log is long. There are a few instances of this happening in the log, but the end of the log is my last attempt trying to play a 4k remux at 11:25 embyserver.txt Edited December 18, 2020 by tmenzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hi, can you please try this on the shield and see how it compares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14930 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hi. Did you specify what app you were using to play content? Do you have this problem in the web app as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmenzzz 0 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 I'll try that now. The problem occurs on a 2019 Shield pro in the Emby app as well as Emby Theater on Windows. The web app won't play direct stream so it seems the problem isn't as bad there due to transcoding lowering the bitrate? Still pauses though.

The issue seems to lie in the Emby Server for Shield TV, not the Emby client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, the log you posted is from a windows server though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mixed up switching back and forth between tabs in Firefox from the 2 servers. This is the one from the Shield I meant to upload. embyserver(1).txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmenzzz 0 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 Noticed today it's doing this on even some lower bitrate 1080p content at 6Mbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I notice you added your windows shares directly to Emby. You may get better performance by first mounting those windows shares to a local path using the tools on the Shield, and then add that local path to Emby instead.
