Difficulty Playing from NAS to Browser


Recommended Posts

I have emby working on a Synology NAS, and usually use a Roku device to play shows and everything works fine. But if I do try to play something in a web browser on my computer, it doesn't really work. It takes several minutes of a spinning "busy" circle before it begins playing, and then playback is extremely choppy. Is this a limitation of how emby works with a NAS? Or a setting I should change? If this is a problem inherent to trying to transmit data from the NAS to a browser, that's OK, I'm just curious to know if I've missed something. Thanks!

Yes, it never seems to work with a web browser. I've also noticed (but forgot to mention) that sometimes when I tell emby to play a show on my Roku devices, nothing happens. It just removes all the buttons and verbiage from the screen, leaving the background image, but doesn't actually play. I can use the back button and try again and it works on the second attempt. I haven't caught a log file from that because it's fairly rare.

Neither of these things ever happened when everything was on my computer, so I'm wondering if it has something to do with synchronizing with the multiple hard drives in the NAS.
