Edrock200 53 Posted August 5, 2022 Posted August 5, 2022 My previous emby app had a buffer setting that I could set from to small medium or large. This option seems to be gone now. If that's accurate, what does it default to now? Before I could resolve buffering issues by setting this to large.
kikinjo 281 Posted August 5, 2022 Posted August 5, 2022 Yes it was removed, no explanation why it was removed.
ebr 16172 Posted August 5, 2022 Posted August 5, 2022 Yes, it was removed because it caused more problems than it solved. Setting it to large on most devices could cause a crash of the app playing very high bitrate content.
LqHnyBear 23 Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Is it possible to get it back? I have several 4k Firesticks and I can Fast forward once or twice and then I get a black screen or a long pause where I can hear audio but video isn't moving. Then when it starts to play properly again, it is no longer DirectPlay it's transcoding do to an error. I never had any issues with the buffer options before. I could literally FF through a 100GB movie and it would tear right through it, playing instantly wherever I stopped and never going from DirectPlay to transcoding. My network is a Wifi6 ax and I'm getting well over 5 Gbps on the WIFI

Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares? https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Thanks. 1
