Emby has the ability to convert your media during playback in order to make it compatible with all of your devices. This process is known as transcoding.
In most cases, the server and the apps will automatically select the ideal settings to achieve smooth playback. This is based on a variety of factors including network performance, media information, device capabilities, and various configuration settings. In some cases though, you may choose to provide your own configuration in order to improve the playback experience.

App Settings
Every Emby app will have a setting known as 'Max streaming bitrate'. This is the most important setting to configure within the app that you're trying to use, and will have the greatest effect on image quality. As you increase the bitrate quality will improve, but will require a faster connection between the device and server.
Ineligible formats for transcode
Server Settings
In addition, the server has some transcoding settings that can be configured. These are found by opening the server dashboard and navigating to Transcoding.
The hardware video decoder setting allows the use of the following options:
- Intel Quick Sync
- NVidia NVENC
- Open MAX (OMX)
- VAAPI
NB. This is not an exhaustive list, so please choose the correct setting in the drop-down menu.
This should only be enabled if you have the appropriate hardware and may result in errors otherwise. If you're unsure, leave the setting at Auto and the system will attempt to automatically detect this.
The thread count setting allows you to specify how many processors to allocate to each transcoding job. In almost all cases, this should be left to Auto as the system will adapt based on current conditions.
Temporary Path
The server will need to create temporary files throughout the transcoding process. The location of these files can be configured.
If you specify a custom path, please ensure the following conditions are met:
Emby Server Nvidia Shield
- The folder is writable
- The folder is not used for any other purpose, as the server will delete all contents to keep it clean.
Audio Boost
When surround audio is converted to 2-channel stereo audio, this often results in a lower volume level. To offset this, you can configure an audio boost scale factor to increase the volume.
The default value is 2, meaning the volume will be doubled when converting surround audio to stereo.
Why Is My Media Transcoding?
Whenever possible, Emby apps will play your files directly and avoid transcoding. Transcoding will only be used when files are not natively supported by the device you're trying to play from, or the bitrate of the content is higher than the app's bitrate setting.
Why Is My File Transcoding?
- First, compare the media format of your file to the format supported by the Emby app. You can find the media info in the Emby Web Client, at the bottom of the detail page:
If the file is not natively supported, transcoding will be required.
Next, compare the bitrate of your file to the bitrate setting in the app. You can find the bitrate of your file by checking the media info in the web interface. If the bitrate of the file is higher than the setting in the app, transcoding will be required. Increasing the bitrate setting in the app can help reduce transcoding, but may impact playback performance if your network connection is not fast enough to handle it. Emby apps are beginning to support automatic bitrate detection in order to automatically select the highest bitrate possible. Most users will see best results by leaving the bitrate setting on Auto.
Lastly, are subtitles selected? If subtitles are selected, then this may trigger transcoding if the app does not natively support the subtitle format. Most Emby apps have native support for text-based subtitles (e.g. srt, vtt, etc). Graphical subtitles such as PGS and VobSub are more likely to trigger transcoding.
To learn more about the formats that are natively supported by each Emby app, please visit the knowledge base section for that app:
My Files Shouldn't Be Transcoding. How Do I Report This?
Start by focusing on a single example. Please report this in our community:
Please make sure to supply the following information:
- A copy of the media info from the web interface
- The Emby Server log from the time you played the content
- The Emby Server transcoding logs from the same time (if any).
Logs can be accessed directly within the server's web interface by navigating to Help -> Logs.
Emby is a free media server that allows your to organize and stream your movies, shows, music, and photos. In this guide we’ll step through how to install Emby on a Cloud Server, making the media available from any remote location.
Update Your Server
Before installing Emby, you’ll want to make sure your server’s package management repositories are fully up to date. Run this command to get the latest package listings and update installed packages to their latest versions:
Download and Install Emby
Navigate to this link in your web browser: https://emby.media/linux-server.html
Select Debian
Right click on the Debian X64 link and click Copy Link Location.
On your server, use the wget utility to download the package
Use dpkg to install Emby
Create Library Path
We’ll create a movies directory in /emby-library. You can also create a shows, music, or photos directory at this time. The library directories can be created anywhere the emby user has read access to.
SSH Tunnel
Emby requires you to access your server from the local network for initial setup. We can get around this with an SSH tunnel. If your local machine is a Mac or Linux-based, create the tunnel by running this command from your local machine’s terminal, replacing
Linux and Mac users can now skip to the Emby Setup step.
If you are running Windows, the most popular way to run SSH is using the free PuTTY tool which can be downloaded here. Windows 10 also has a built-in SSH client, but enabling this feature still requires a lot of advanced configuration changes and is outside the scope of this guide.
If you’re using PuTTY, and you now have it up and running, input your Cloud Servers IP address in the Host Name (or IP address) field.
Click on the plus next to SSH and then select Tunnels.
Input 8888 into Source port and your Cloud Server IP address followed by :8096 into Destination.
Click Add and then Open.
Emby Setup
To start setting up Emby, navigate to http://localhost:8888 in your web browser.
Select your language and click Next.
Create a username and password. Click Next.
We’ll add a library later on. For now, just click Next.
Confirm your language and country. Click Next.
Make sure the Allow remote connections to the Emby Server option is enabled. Click Next.
Consider accepting the terms of service. Click Next.
Click Finish.
Add a Library
After setup is complete, Emby should ask you to sign in. Go ahead and select the user you created and sign in.
Click the gear icon in the top right corner of the portal to get to settings.
Click Library.
Click Add Media Library.
Select your content type and give it a name. Click Folders.
Select the library directory you created earlier and click ok.
Click ok.
Add Media to Your Library
The easiest way to upload your media is with SFTP.
Emby Server For Windows
These two Emby wiki articles will show you how to properly organize your media so Emby can understand it and fetch the proper metadata.
Movies: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Movie-naming
TV Shows: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/TV-naming
Once you’ve added your media, you’ll need to scan your library files before Emby will see them. Do this by clicking on the three dots next to your library and clicking Scan Library Files.
SSL
Emby does not come with SSL built in. If you want more privacy and to protect your login credentials from potential compromise, it’s a good idea to add SSL. Once you have obtained a certificate and uploaded it to your server, click on the gear icon at the top right of your Emby portal.
Click Network.
Add the certificate path under Custom ssl certificate path.
Enjoy Your Media!
Congratulations! Everything should be working at this point. Now you can enjoy your media with one of Emby’s client apps or in your web browser by navigating to http://
