Emby connect - ExoPlayer

[Nuitarius 22]

Hi

I have Emby connect working and have been using my mobile phone as test equipment (android).

I disconnect from Wi-Fi and connect via Emby connect. All good. I can also start a movie. But it does not use the ExoPlayer. It uses Web Video Player.

I am suspecting that this is some sort of transcoding as my NAS suddenly uses 50% CPU for this and it keeps stopping to buffer. I am nowhere near using up my 300mb up/down

What is exactly happening here and can I somehow use the exoplayer on connect too? Because the exoplayer works like a charm from the same mobile phone when using the emby app on local network

Hi, sounds like you're using the web app instead of our mobile android app.

Can i use connect via the emby app also?
