emby direct play number of streams

[rrmelgar 0]

how many direct play  connections can emby server sustain  with  I5 6600k  no transcoding of anytype

testing with just 1 device/stream its using 19% to 35% cpu to direct play on note 8 or mi box  streams are 1080i

"emby Server" process  19%-35% cpu and note 8 doing all the hard work  decoding  and playback

 

why does streaming it from direct from HDhomerun only consume under 3% cpu  while GPU takes care of decode and playback on PC and no hiccup with hdhomerun android app either

 

 

was hoping to hit 10% or lower  cpu per stream after all its doing forwarding video stream while leaving the PC usable to do other duties 

 

looking to direct play to 5-6 devices outside home network have more then enough "fios gigabit" upload  4-5 devices will be on at one time for couple of hours

was looking to invest on devices capable of direct playing .... but

 

attach log different channel same cpu usage

Hi, the guide refresh scheduled task is running in the background during this log. Try stopping that and see if that improves it.

I don't quite understand what you're asking. Can you rephrase the question? Thanks.
