Theduke 2 Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Hello, Since the latest update of Empby Theater i encounter a problem. I can see two electron processes thant consume much CPU. My NUC fans are at the maximum speed and the NUC body is getting very hot. I have tested the same movies with Kodi (with Emby Plugin) and fans are at a low level, everything goes fine. Did you encounter this problem ? Is there a workaround for this ? For the moment i don't use Emby Theater anymore which is a shame. Thanks for your return.
Luke 42078 Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Try installing the latest version from the website.
Theduke 2 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Posted June 15, 2017 I have installed the latest version of ET 2.7.9. Here is the result while i'm watching one episode of a serie in HDTV format so not hard to decode : - Emby Theater : CPU between 30% and 50%, fan speed high - Kodi (with Emby Plugins) : CPU between 12% and 15%, fan speed low This behavior only happens since one or two versions, i'm sure it has to do with electron Any idea Luke ?
Theduke 2 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Posted June 15, 2017 Further informations. I now have downloaded the windows store Emby Theater which seems not to be the same as Emby Theater Desktop version. I have no issue with the windows store version at all. May be this could help in analysis ?
Luke 42078 Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 the desktop app embeds chromium and has quite a bit of animation. there is some cost to that. the store app does not use chromium but also does not animate quite as smoothly.
Theduke 2 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 Is there a way to install older version of Emby Theater ?
Theduke 2 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 Downgrade from ET 2.7.9 to ET 2.7.7 and no more CPU high. ... I keep this version for the moment until the problem is solved. Am i the only one to have it ? 1
Sammy 790 Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 I noticed high CPU usage recently from the server but just decided that at 25% usage what am I worrying about? I got that CPU under the hood for a reason and Emby does a lot with it that I like.
elshagon 44 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I'm having the same problem with high cpu usage and can't get Emby to even fully start. I will make sure I have the latest version.
Luke 42078 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I would stay on 2.7.9. There won't be any difference in this regard between that and 2.7.7.
