emby in a KVM VM

[woenk 62]

got this little beauty http://b2b.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4988#ov with 16GB Ram

Emby is running in a VM using Ubuntu 16.10  (both hypervisor and VM) and Opennebula.

Assigned everything from 2 to 6 cores to the VM and still that thing does not transport high quality mkv and mp4 well. Does not matter if it is via web or in a local net.

Plays for a 3 seconds, hangs for 3 seconds.

Really weird thing is, the low quality mkvs give the "direct" option, high quality offers a maximum of 60 Mbps.

Low quality goes absolutely fine, the high quality thingys are unwatchable.

It seems like emby allways tries to convert the high quality files for playing but ignores the low quality one.

At first I thought there could be a bottle neck on the hdd, tried having the transoding/converting directly into a ramdisk but still does not work.

Tried newest release of ffmpeg, but brings no speed increase for me.

Emby gets the files of an NFS share and I do not think its the bandwidth, download is at average at 100MB/s (of a SATA3 HDD with 5400RPM).

 

I had emby running on some dual core AMD with integrated graphics for over 6 months on a server with 4GB using Ubuntu and running alot of other CPU hungry stuff and it was not much worse.

Thought, it was the low level CPU then, but now I really should have enough to stream locally even with software converting, but actually I can not grab my head around it why it is doing any conversions at all with any browser I try...

 

In short...I am lost

And I am really one of those that wants a switch to turn any transcoding/converting switched off....got a 1GB Ethernet and not after some streaming into the web.

Hi there, welcome. Sorry to hear about this. In order to best help you, please provide the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks !

I'm not sure what your issue could be, but I've got Emby running in a Debian guest VM on a KVM hypervisor. The hardware is a little last-gen Intel NUC with an i3, and it also handles media I/O via NFS. I can't have more than 2-3 people transcoding at 2-3 Mbps, but it handles transcoding my large Blu-ray rips okay.

Your source video is HEVC - which probably explains why it's transcoding.  What client are you trying to play it on?

 

Your host hardware is Atom, and that isn't going to have a whole lot of performance for transcoding - plus you're asking it to do it from within a VM which will add a little performance loss.

 

You can see there that the transcoding speed never approaches 1x (meaning transcoding at the speed of playback) - so it's not transcoding fast enough to keep up.

Client at that log was Chrome, but really does not matter if I  use Edge or Firefox it is the same. And since it is in a local net, it should not be transcoding at all.

Actually it does matter. There is currently no browser that supports HEVC, so that is the reason for the transcoding. We do have other apps that support HEVC if that's what you're after. Just check out our download page:

 

https://emby.media/download.html

 

Enjoy.

Already tried Emby Theater for Windows, but same problem....really missed that HEVC part, thought that ffmpeg did convert all the -mkv to mp4 with H264 in it. 

Seems like I need to convert all my files.

 

If anyone has some hints on how to optimize performance with opennebula, they are welcome to share  

Somehow I think that I can really not use the full potential of the CPU,( capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx x86-64 rep_good nopl eagerfpu pni vmx cx16 x2apic hypervisor lahf_lm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid).

Or would it be better to run Emby in a docker? (got absolutely no idea aboiut docker)

[Luke 42077]

Emby Theater for Windows Desktop plays HEVC, no problem:

Tried Emby Theater, but really does not have the same feel...was a bit sluggish. Went with Folder sync and converting the needed files (that report function really comes in handy ) . Thanls for the suggestions.

You're using an Atom processor to transcode HEVC, it's not going to happen. That's like trying to drag race a Ferrari with a Chevy Bolt and expecting to win.
