Emby and NGINX

[darkassassin07 652]

I am (very slowly) figuring out how to use/setup NGINX as a reverse proxy on a RPI 3B for the various web services hosted on my home network, but have a quick question:

 

Once the client has been proxyed to emby, does the media streamed flow through the RPI? (ie is it limited by the PIs network speed)

If that's the device that the server is installed on, then yes.

It's not, the RPI runs NGINX and proxying to a windows 7 based emby server on the same lan. (Or at least will be once I figure out what Im doing.) I just want to be sure I'm not going to run into speed issues once I have things figured out

Yes, all traffic passes through the NGINX server.    Even video streams.  You will feel the pain twice as bad.. It will be streaming from emby into your pi, then from the pi out to your internet....   So the nginx interface will see twice the traffic that you are actually serving.

Hmm.... Well, I think I'll exclude emby from my nginx server then.

Thanks guys
