HavokValor 5 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Hey guys, I made a topic before about my Fire TV experiencing buffering on LAN. I eventually found that stopping Qbittorrent caused the issue to go away. So I looked further into it and found that Qbittorrent has a thing of being a cache hog of sorts. So I bought two NVME m.2 drives, made one a cache drive and have one unassigned specifically for the Emby appdata. All in all everything was playing well but after like 10 minutes of playing something it will begin to buffer again. Is there any logs I can run while playing a media file to try and get more information to try and fix this issue?
HavokValor 5 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Posted March 5, 2019 Why not just remove Qbittorrent altogether? Because I would still like to use my Media server as also a download server. Installing the cache drive has reduced the amount of buffering by a lot, I would still like to make it flawless though.

ebr 16169 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Moving this to General Discussion since it isn't really Emby related. Thanks. 2
HavokValor 5 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Posted March 5, 2019 are you using a VPN on top of qbittorent? Yes I have binhex-QBittorrent setup to go through my Torguard VPN. I also have an OpenVPN plugin on Unraid for all my other non QBittorrent traffic which includes Emby. However I don't think this would effect local play.

It depends on what is lagging the cpu/harddrive/memory maybe the gnome system monitor can tell what is happening when it does it? It has to be something you can visually see reaching peak either cpu/memory/hdd. Otherwise it has to be your network itself having issues. Edited March 5, 2019 by speechles 1

BAlGaInTl 288 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Have you thought of using a client other than QBittorrent?
Spaceboy 2573 Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Buy a raspberry pi to do your torrenting on. Plenty of guides on how to set it up with deluge and vpn and jackett and sonarr and radar etc etc etc 1
