Doesn't actually seem as useful as I'd have hoped though, I'll be honest. Just stopped. 5 minutes ago, chef said: Should we consider a standalone app which handles the calculations for emby? I don't know to be honest - I imagine that would add additional overhead. It just depends on if the process will succesfully work within the embyserver process or not. I didn't have these issues when running on my test windows instance, though I don't know if that's to do with the CPU/RAM (i5 8600k / 16GB RAM vs odroid specs) or the size of the library. embyserver-63766611431.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think this - it works perfectly well inside emby as a Plugin ?

Yes, but the task had not completed - thus it 'stopped' as presumably it was looking for FP that wasn't there. I should have deleted the dB before trying .7 but didn't - so I'm going to put it down to that. I'm also going to try a couple of manual 'stops' on both the FP and Detect tasks and check the recovery. (using .8) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we handled most areas of the code where the removed fingerprint will cause issues. We'll find out while using the plugin if there are still areas that need to handle the removed fingerprints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micael456 43 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I think there's something hinky going on with either the DB or the UI to be honest... might be specifically due to it crashing, or perhaps not. As per my emby server logs, it was working on Covert Affairs season two when crashing. When I try to load that season up on the plugins GUI...

rbjtech 4271 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Not a big issue - but any reason why you are logging 'no title sequence' as a 'Warn' ? I would have though this was an 'Info' as there is nothing you can do about it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have though this was an 'Info' as there is nothing you can do about it ? That warn needs a better description, and can be switched to 'debug'. What has happened there is, all episodes in that season are without title sequences. Although that could be the case, I ran into an instance where Rick and Morty season 3 should have had title sequence data, but didn't. I figured it could happen where we miss items. But we don't want to reprocess them over and over if the episodes don't actually have sequences worth skipping (Mr robot for example). Just warn the log. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me test this, but for me this did not cause any issues and it was instant - but I think this largely depends on the size of the dB - for my testing, they are tiny at the moment. Unless you are watching the log, then the UI is the only feedback you will see - so I don't think you can disable it during the task (that may take days..) ?

I agree. Or if you wanted to be really fancy, give them a popup warning that the task will be paused if they continue, and present the option to the end user. For now though I'd say a splash page informing the user that it can't be viewed during processing is probably easiest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emby is just doing a SQL query - if it doesn't have the capacity to do this, how is emby going to do it's own core playback queries ?

chef 3746 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Here is how we can manage chapters... so far. If the Intro starts at the beginning of the first chapter move to chapter 2 and change StartpositionTicks to TitleSequenceEnd. push all subsequent Chapters 'StartPositionTicks' ahead the duration of the intro (or else we run the risk of screwing up the timestamps, or oddly short chapters) make sure not to mark the subsequent chapters start positions longer then the runtime of the item. //<--that would be bad. 2. The intro doesn't start at the beginning of the first chapter (There is a recap) move to chapter 2 - change StartPositionTicks to the TitleSequenceStart timestamp move to chapter 3 - change StartPositionTicks to the TitleSequenceEnd timestamp push all subsequent Chapters 'StartPositionTicks' ahead the duration of the intro make sure not to mark the subsequent chapters start positions longer then the runtime of the item. There is probably more to it then that. But that is where I am. Do you think they'll take issue with us changing chapter data... if it done correctly, and doesn't cause issues?
