Upgraded to 6.8.0, now the dreaded stutter and freezes are back during playback

Featured Replies

I'm running a single docker, Emby. As previously running 6.6.6 for a long time.

Have also upgraded the Emby docker, so I was looking at reverting to 6.6.6 first to see if it makes any difference in terms of playback performance.

Just copy the old .bz files over I guess?

Will it affect the Emby docker?

One thing I noticed is much higher cpu usage at idle. Even with the Emby docker stopped, there would be one CPU at 100% all the time, and some usage on the other three, for a 30/40% aggregated average. On 6.6.6 it was under 10% I think.

So I copied the bz from 6.6.6, and low and behold, my CPU usage at idle is back to 4%. Definetly a Unraid version issue. I won't be budging from 6.6.6 unless anyone can tell me what I am missing out on. Only using unraid as emby server at the moment.

Next I will be testing emby playback to see if the issue with stuttering has now gone away.

No stuttering. That was fixed by the downgrade. Am the only one experiencing higher CPU usage at idle?

  • Author

Also now I can't see a tab for the statistics, which used to display the drives % usage, instead of absolute term. Any ideas on how I can get that back on 6.6.6?

upgraded to 6.6.7, now can see usage stats on the dasboard view, cpu usage still low. Will test for a week

gonna have to run top and figure out what exactly is pulling the cpu... just having high cpu isn't helpful without knowing the process.

Is there a task manager app I can use to record process usage? It also seemed to lock at least one CPU at 100% even when idle, and with the Emby docker off

No issues with 6.6.7 from a CPU standpoint, upgraded to 6.7.0 by extracting the zip and copying the bz* files across to the flash.

6.7.0 has the new GUI, and I am seeing CPU usage back down to 4%. Will test for a week

Well, two weeks ago my flash got corrupted so formatted it, put the latest version of unraid on it (6.8.3), and copied across the config folder and voila, I was back in business.

Unfortunately, now that I am on 6.8.x, the 100% utilisation of one of the four CPU's is back.

I can roll back to 6.7.x, or we can try to troubleshoot it.

Ok so I added -i br0 after I stopped the array, restarted the array, let's see if that stops it once settled. Thank you so much for pointing me to that thread. Do you know what the command is in the terminal window to see which processes are active and their CPU usage?

  • Author

It's "top", CPU usage down to 4% again, no CPU pegged to 100% so far. Will keep an eye on it.

Adding -i br0 worked for me, problem solved for now
