Emby direct stream suttering

[EmbyUser32 0]

Hi

I just joined the Emby community with the hopes of creating a media server for my small home. During initial testing i am however expiriencing some problems that i do not know how to deal with. Any help or advice is much appreciated. 

I am running emby (free version for now) on my main desktop machine. I am trying to stream a 1080p hevc movie using the mobile app onto my chromecast ultra on my LG oled smart tv. Subtitles are off.

The movie will play for 20-90 seconds after which it will start stuttering, once it started it will continue to stutter and loose audio every 10 seconds. According to the server dashboard i am direct playing. 

I have tried looking at the logs, but unfortunately i am not the brightest of minds when it comes to that kind of stuff. I have attached 2 different logs in the hopes that anyone knows what is causing the stuttering. 

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions regarding this and i will be happy to reply however i am able.

 

Thank you :)

Try playing with the 3rd (Stereo) Audio track before you cast - there appears to be errors in the conversation of the 7.1 AAC Audio.

The file is a low bitrate (< 5 Mbit/sec) so I doubt it is your wifi - but it may be.  Does your TV and phone have a strong wifi signal ?

Would the log not say if emby was experiencing connectivity issues? I have tried streaming some 4k remuxes which played fine. So i guess it must just be the movie file that is corrupt? I tried playing it on my pc and i got some crazy stuttering as well. So i guess that is it. Thanks for your help though!

Hi, yes it could be something tricky about that file. You could try lowering the in app quality setting to force a full transcode and see if that helps.

This error would suggest corrupt video stream.
