Emby Playback Buffering on Local Network – Need Help!

[chaseclay496 0]

Hey Emby community!

I'm experiencing some buffering issues while streaming content via Emby on my local network. Everything was working fine until recently—now, even local files are taking time to load or randomly pause during playback.

Here’s my current setup:

• Emby Server running on [Your OS/Device]

• Wired connection to server, client on Wi-Fi (strong signal)

• Playback device: [e.g., Fire TV, Android app, browser]

• File type: [e.g., 1080p MKV]

I’ve tried restarting devices, checking network speeds, and tweaking transcoding settings, but no luck so far.

Any suggestions or settings I should look into to improve streaming performance? Really appreciate any help or guidance!

Thanks in advance!
