emby constantly freezing when remuxing

[Bueschere 0]

Hi, I dont know for sure where to post this but every time i try to play a movie at 1080p 60mbps on my LAN it freezes and wont play any further. It even does this when playing back on the same computer it is stored. They all work fine how ever when i play them with the Movies and Tv app on my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Also it seems to happen anytime I exceed the contents native bitrate by a certain amount because I can very how fast I set my connection to. Some content works at 40mbps others I have to set to 30mbps to get to play.

Hi, the server has to convert on the fly due to the browser not supporting the audio, and it looks like data is probably just not getting to the browser quickly enough.

Do you have any content that the browser supports natively without transcoding that you can compare to? You can also try our Emby Theater desktop app:

https://emby.media/emby-theater.html

This can direct play more formats without server transcoding, making it more of an equivalent comparison to what you see with the Movies & TV app.

Also all the files I have are either m2ts or mkv pass through files and they both behave the same.

Hi, these log examples are from playing in Chrome. What time did you try to play with Theater?
