emby playback looping when transcoding and other probs

[gridrunner 1]

I run emby server as a docker fine on unraid for about 6 months without issue.

I had to reinstall and am having some problems i have not had before. I was hoping anyone with experience with emby could help me incase it is something simple.

 

I use a laptop and an nvidea shield tv to access emby server on local network. Laptop is wireless shield is wired.

Playback on the laptop through the emby web interface is perfect.

However on the shield its a different story. 

1. When emby is transcoding to the shield the quality is terrible. The video will play for 10 seconds then loop back to the point video playback started.

Transcoding used to be fine. My server has a 14 core cpu and 64 gigs of ram. The directory for transcoding is set to a folder on the ssd cache.

2. When playing a direct stream on the shield the video plays but will stop and artifact every 10 to 15 seconds then continue

I have tried playing the same files from kodi on shield from smb share and is perfect so it cant be network related.

 

 

 

My path substitution is

/media/TVShows

To

\\192.168.1.199\media\TVShows

 

Anyone got any ideas. Strange thing is it all worked fine until i reinstalled. All settings are the same unless there is something i have forgotten?
