Expecting users to manually adjust things every single time is unacceptable. I know the dev team is having a horrible time with creating an actual usable and friendly experience with the POS Apple eco-system, but come on, this is beyond dumb. This needs to be addressed, and needs to be fixed. Expecting them to even understand that they need to manually change the bitrate is ridiculous, and then there is also the possibility that they may have to adjust it every single time they want to watch something. I, like many people, have users who are complete utter idiots when it comes to technology. If the "fallback" bitrate is set so stupidly low, it should either be increased (3mb is just garbage), or as I've stated before, give us an option to manually do a speed test. Tonight we had no buffering while I was testing it, maybe the stars were aligned or we got lucky. When we have gigabit internet on both ends and users are being throttled so hard that Emby is unwatchable, this data will help not only the dev team, but help us take this information to our ISP's so we can call them out for their illegal tactics. Can you please look at adding a manual speed test that users can do and have logged on the server side, so we can submit those to the dev team or even look at ourselves so we can troubleshoot these types of issues. I know the dev team has gotten a lot of flak about the horrible support the Apple TV has, and I'm sorry to add my voice to it, but it's a serious problem when barely anything works years after the fact. Why is the Apple TV being throttled so hard on the same network while the iPad is not? Even raising the bitrate on the Apple TV does NOT solve the problem. The fact that both are on AUTO and that the Apple TV is itself hardwired makes this a serious problem that the dev team has to address. ![]() You can try raising the in-app quality setting. Hi, when you're outside the local network, auto will generically be on the conservatives side. 1) they are on auto, auto is obviously broken, 2) we've tried manually selecting in the past and it does not resolve the issue as it will just buffer and buffer and buffer. Every single user I have with Apple TV's gets locked at 3mb and NOTHING fixes it. It does not have this problem with my Plex server, this only happens with Emby. We've tried rebooting it, reconnecting it, and swapping out the network cable. Both of these devices are in the same house, in the same room, on the same internet, but the Apple TV constantly gets throttled to 3mb. Why after so long does the Apple TV app still suck so bad? This screen shot from my server is ridiculous. His iPad has no problem direct playing anything and never gets throttled, on the same network with the iPad on wifi and the Apple TV hardwired. My friend is frustrated beyond belief because his Apple TV sucks for Emby, PERIOD. ![]() I can't provide user logs as this is not at my house, and server/ffmpeg logs are useless, but I've included them anyways.
