LG TV and a lot of throttling

[Marc0 29]

I have a Philips Smart TV, A SOny and A LG.

Sony en Philips are Android Smart TV

LG of course had the LG-OS.

 

What I see is that the LG TV thottles most of the media (some not, but 99% of all media is throttled)

WHere as the Sony-Android and the Philips-Android hardly throttle (maybe in 0,0001% of the time they throttle)

Also iPAds, Macbooks, iPhones never throttle the media on Emby. 

 

Do more people find the same effect the the LG-hardware? Or is it the EMBY-LG app?

(LG TV by the way is a LG Smart TV (OLED55G1RLA))

Hi, what exactly is the problem? What do you mean by throttled?

Hi, did you explore the stats feature in the video player to learn why?

Then I know what it is. 

The LG Starts transcodimg video or audio or subtitles where the other brands do not. 

 

So the question remains. Is this LG or the emby LG app?

We are just using the LG video player, so whatever it supports, the Emby LG app supports. And yes, the LG video player is more limited than the Samsung player or set top boxes like Roku, android tv, etc.

So you are saying the LG player is not as supported with all the codecs as the Android player

Correct.

Is this because of TV Hardware? Or the restrictions to the LG Operting system?

So does it mean we can download some standalone app instead using LG app from store? Or this won't change much?

You can buy nVidia Shield as it has its own app. It has much better support of many formats.  You probably need to buy the nVidia Shield Pro, not the standard model as there have been reports of performance issues with the basic model
