I’m currently using an Emby media server and regardless of what video to play, it takes almost 5 seconds for playback to start.
If I open the Emby app on macOS and play the same video, it starts immediately.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? It happens across all platforms (macOS, tvOS and iOS) but I predominantly use it on the Mac. I don’t use library mode.
You can try running a speed test in Infuse on various devices to see if there is a difference in the connection speeds to the Emby server. This may provide a clue as to why one device is faster than another.
hi @james it happens on all devices. Speed tests are good. Averaging over 300Mbps. It only happens on infuse though. If I open the Emby app, video playback starts immediately.
@NC_Bullseye@james here’s the screenshot. Seems normal to me. Even if the file is small, such as this one of just over 2GB, the spinning loading wheel appears for a few seconds. It’s just strange that in the Emby app it doesn’t, which rules out possible network or NAS issues.
