This just started a few weeks ago and I'm not doing anything different than I have been for the past three years. Someone has screwed the pooch and they need to fix it. I have no way of knowing when Roku forced an update to the emby client app but the last time they forced an update I was no longer able to connect to my servers running on MacOS Sierra 10.12.3 and I was forced to install the emby server on my iMac. It's bloody annoying and clearly something is really wrong. The server doesn't reboot by itself, I rebooted it manually. Needless to repeat, everything has been rebooted, multiple times, including the server. The server strictly operates within my home, there is no external access and I don't use phones or tablets to access the server. There is no WIFI involved, everything is strictly ethernet. It can't be the Roku's because it does exactly the same thing on all of them including the TV.

No other app/service on mu Roku's cause this problem. It doesn't do it if I just log in to the server and browse through my library, it only does it upon exit from video playback. It never reboots while the video is playing, it only does it when the video is over and it should be taking me back to the main menu. It doesn't matter if I play back an MKV, MP4, HEVC, x264, 1080p, 720p, 480p, ANYTHING I playback is likely to cause a reboot. On my Roku's (including the TV) the emby client version is 4.0.44.
There's nothing fancy there, just a 21" iMac.
I'm running version 4.6.7.0 for MacOS and the server reports that it is up to date. Starting about mid-February AFTER watching anything, my Roku Ultra's (two of them) and my 65" TCL Roku TV would just go to a black screen and then reboot (as if they were powered off/on). A regular file server or file backup should still be fine, but maybe not a media server that needs to have high data transfer speeds?ĮDIT2: in regard to what orlyp said about buffering, if an e7300 wouldn’t have the speed to do video without buffering then a p3 would be totally out of the question.I've been using Emby about 3 years. All the Plex and Emby features we mentioned above are completely free in Jellyfin. The most promising one is Jellyfin, an open-source server developed from Emby when it became proprietary. Still, I think it would depend on the sort of needs you have. Second, a piece of side information for you, apart from the most known Plex and Emby, there is still other media server software available out there. I would like to find some reasonable uses for them rather than add them to a landfill and thought perhaps the OP might be interested in the answer as well as it pertains to his situation.ĮDIT: just got to thinking that perhaps bandwidth would be an issue with older CPUs and mobo with a task such as a media server. I have a bunch of older PC hardware, including some dual p3 mobos, p4 mobos, and so on. There are two bugs that need to be fixed (see below) Steps to Reproduce Load JellyFin client on Roku box, in my case Telstra TV Connect to server Choose any media file to play Once Play button is clicked, application hangs Roku debug output shows crash with pkg:/source/VideoPlayer. There are others out there as well, some free and some you pay for. I am partial to Serviio, but I assist the developer by creating and maintaining profiles specific to Roku.
I’m Asking for more than academic purposes. With Roku players, Plex and Emby have dedicated channels that offer a user interface that offers ease of use. For something that is just transferring file data, isnt even a top of the line P3 good enough? After all, the machine isn’t really doing any processing beyond finding the files and sending them, right? Or am I woefully behind the times?
