Emby on ROKU has suddenly started almost constant buffering

[TechowlTim 2]

I have had the emby server running for some time now with no issues at all, but recently (about 2 weeks) the ROKU app is constantly buffering over and over, and often fails to play the video. The tested videos have play perfectly in the past with no buffering whatsoever. Both og my ROKU devices have the same issue.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I think my Raid Array failed. It was probably going bad causing the issues. I rebooted the system and the box is recognized, but the drives appear as unconfigured. 4 TB may be gone. I had 2 2tb drives configured in stripe mode.

I will investigate more fully when I have time.

Thanks for reporting back.  Let us know how it goes.

I created a temp folder on the boot drive of the media server and put some of the files recovered from the RAID array in the folder and they played fine. No buffering whatsoever.

The problem was definitely with the drives.

Working on building a new media server with 2 3TB drives configured normally. No RAID arrays or external drive boxes this time.
