Slow Library Navigation

[efigalaxie 2]

Emby Server - 2nd or 3rd gen quad core i7 16gb memory, Win10 pro

4600 movies bunch of tv on 6 NAS boxes with smb links

 

All interfaces/clients local and remote - thumbnail paint is slow. Clicking letters is kludgy.

 

Trust me - no issues with the network. Cisco switches all gigabit Ethernet, I have configured them properly.

 

Is the machine too weak to handle such a library?

 

I have a r210 with 24gb of memory and a r710 with 48gb - should I migrate to one of those?

 

If I go to Linux, which flavor do you suggest?

 

I want this thing to run as smooth as Kodi. My navigation with Kodi on an Nvidia shield is very smooth.

is your library and/or metadata folder on a HDD?

[efigalaxie 2]

Yes. On the Emby server machine. A ssd actually.

I installed the latest Emby over top my existing install. That helped.....quite a bit. The question remains.....when I pull up my library using a client, it still isn’t as snappy as I would like. Will throwing more memory or more cpu at it help? What type of server install tends to be most responsive as perceived from a client side perspective? I am trying to get a very large library to be as responsive on an Emby Client as it is on a local Kodi machine. .....thumbnails for items are up almost instantly no matter the scroll rate...... I am using the Android TV client and the Xbox client. If this is not realistic at this time tell me. If I need to move the server to another platform, tell me. Just this latest update improved it by a factor of three or so. It is a stock install. It is working fine....just wanting to speed up navigation.
