High CPU usage?

Is this normal for emby?

Potentially yes as ffmpeg is using the cpu.  You could enable throttling to throttle the process instead of ffmpeg processing the entire content in one go.

would enabling throttling have any impacted on the remote user?

why is emby using so much of my CPU???

[Happy2Play 9780]

Assuming it is the same as above I will guess ffmpeg as that stats really does not provide any valuable information on anything specific.

Yes as the server only processes as much as it needs, so throttle intervals processing media instead of all at once.

[chrisrobbins1970 82]

So is it a good thing or a bad to enable throttling?

Good thing. You should definitely enable throttling.

Thank you... anything else that needs to be done?

Personal preference as you will not see a constant load on cpu as ffmpeg will not us everything is can to process everything at once.  So process a couple minute at a time or the entire media.

But this is assuming ffmpeg is the culprit.

Will the remote use get buffering with throttling enabled?

Yes as basically that is what throttle does sort of just ahead of buffer.

[chrisrobbins1970 82]

Client buffer is irrelevant to ffmpeg throttling.  Do not know of any other way to say it.

No they won't. Please note your system will need to be capable of transcoding at a faster rate than the user is watching in order to be able to see any benefit from throttling.
