mondwa 4 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Ok So i have the server wired to my router but then I have two clients : Xbox one and a laptop that connect wireless to the router so on xbox one i use the internet explorer to point to the server ip. I connect just fine but when playing any movies no matter how far down i take the quality i still get pausing I have a custom htpc with a i5, 8gb ram and i have monitored the network card and cpu usage while trying to play to xbox one and neither seem to jump over 10% used So i am wondering if wireless is just to slow for the emby to stream without pausing because i have even tried to DLNA to the xbox with same results
legallink 187 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Wireless is not too slow. I stream all the time wirelessly. That being said, if your signal is weak, that can be a significantly problem, I would check a few points of failure. One from the server to the router. Two from either end point to the router. Three check to see if you have changed any of the settings on the server to limit the amount of cpu permitted on a transcode. What router do you have?

What router do you have? the server can connect to the internet with no issues. Its a older wireless router that is setup as a wireless bridge to my century link modem and has a max speed of 54Mbps. Where would i check the cpu for transcoding?
legallink 187 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 "Can connect" is not the issue. I would do some load/transfer tests to and from devices to see what kind of network throughput you are getting. Perhaps from the server to a wired client. As for CPU limiting, I would try testing the "throttling option" in playback settings. Does the laptop have pausing as well? How often?
Swynol 375 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 you could also try the media player app on xbox one with DLNA
Deathsquirrel 745 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 If you're playing in the IE browser on the xbox the pausing is more likely to be transcoding related than network related, or at least that's what I'd look at first. If you're playing to the media app then it could be the network or it could just be the xbox one media app. Mine does that over wired for no apparent reason, though we're talking 1-2 times in a 2 hour movie. it's why I stopped using the xbox for playback until there is an Emby client for the platform.

Just because your wifi says your connected at 54Mbps, doesn't mean you're actually gettinng 54Mbps of throughput. Signal quality can affect this speed. Also, this 54Mbps is shared between all devices that are connected to your access point. More devices, slow everything down. The best way to test your actually wifi throughput is to use IPERF. You need two devices, one runs iperf as a server, the other as a client, and you send data between the two and it measures the real speed. Works great. https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php

How often? it was set for throttling Yes wireless connected laptop pauses as well on IE and chrome you could also try the media player app on xbox one with DLNA I tried this and it also pauses
