johnbajer 3 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 My NAS uses truenas 12. It reaches around 100% CPU usage. It only stops when Emby tab on firefox is closed. ffmpeg-transcode-c2caba5c-08d4-4b8c-b399-c4798125791e_1.txt
Happy2Play 9780 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 That is expected behavior when a item need transcoded. Or should I say until the item is completely transcoded. Only way to slightly change it is "Enable throttling" on Dashboard-Transcoding. I don't believe FireFox does not support HEVC or the subtitle &TranscodeReasons=SubtitleCodecNotSupported
Luke 42077 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Hi, to prevent this high cpu usage, try any of the following: Turn off the subtitles Use external .srt subtitles Use an Emby app such as Emby for android, iOS, or windows that can direct play the subtitles without transcoding Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.
johnbajer 3 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 Hi all, even without subtitles and with throttling enabled it reaches 100% cpu usage.

johnbajer 3 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 how to get another log? I got the one I have uploaded from Emby screen.

It looks like you didn't even give it a chance to see if CPU usage might come down after the initial load.

johnbajer 3 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 My cpu reaches very high temperatures, giving me sound alarm ffmpeg-transcode-10095d0d-0e5e-4aa1-8099-c0fbb6c2f918_1.txt
Luke 42077 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Can you please attach the main emby server log as well? Thanks.
johnbajer 3 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 I have the following specs: Truenas 12 Intel 3770K with 16gb RAM Emby keeps the processor bussy almost al the time 10% minimum without doing anything.
johnbajer 3 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 When using this program https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/emby-theater-bin on Manjaro it works fine. The issue is with with any browser used. I have tried Chromium, Firefox and Opera with same results. I have to stop Emby to drop from 95 or 100% CPU usage. ffmpeg-transcode-dba31593-dde7-42ca-82e3-3206c64fe7cc_1.txt embyserver-63747140792.txt hardware_detection-63747140797.txt embyserver.txt
Happy2Play 9780 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 You can go to a site like html5test.com to see what your browser supports, but lots of systems do not support HEVC in Browsers. So transcoding in required and is normal for that process to max your cpu. That CPU appears to have Quick Sync so if you are premiere user you could enable Hardware Acceleration to assist in some cases,

johnbajer 3 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 which browser has it enabled for Linux?
Luke 42077 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 4 minutes ago, johnbajer said: which browser has it enabled for Linux? None that I know of. Our Emby Theater app for Linux can direct play it though: https://emby.media/download.html

johnbajer 3 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 so emby is useless for video streaming unless I have the premium account, right?
MRobi 161 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 8 minutes ago, johnbajer said: so emby is useless for video streaming unless I have the premium account, right? Far from useless. But if your only use-case for Emby is to stream HEVC encoded files to a browser without wanting to pay for premiere to add hardware accelleration then I guess you could say that. But I'd wager that's likely an edge-case scenario and not going to be your every day use. Premiere does add some key features and only costs a portion of the cost of that processor you're using Although I will say hardware acceleration on FreeBSD/FreeNAS is still something that's hacked together and not exactly an easy process. This is because of limitations in FreeBSD.
