I'm still having the same issue after the LG .50 update. It no longer has the strange characters in the subs but they're still positioned in the top left corner and it's putting most of it off screen

Hi, we are working on this. Thanks.

I think my Raid Array failed. It was probably going bad causing the issues. I rebooted the system and the box is recognized, but the drives appear as unconfigured. 4 TB may be gone. I had 2 2tb drives configured in stripe mode. I will investigate more fully when I have time. - Techowl -

Any updates on this?

I know I shouldn't respond, but against my better judgment I'll still do it. You're seriously blaming everyone around you, because YOU decided to brainlessly follow an LLM's instructions? Follow the Emby guides, do the things that people suggest you do. Not some magical bullet list that's been conjured by amalgamating a bunch of random words into directions. Please, please THINK before you do next time. Not just with this, but with ANYTHING you read on the internet.

I've made no changes in the past 2 days and now all channels are getting full guide data. This is frustrating b/c as noted, I've changed nothing. will monitor for a few days and if there are no further issues, will consider this closed.

but would you be so kind and provide instructions ( like for dummies ) how to "install" this on Emby? then i can tested i have quite a bit of comics books there.

Danke für deine antwort ich werde mich ma ausprobieren und es testen. Ja ich wollte einfach den aktuellen Ubuntu Build nehmen und gut. ich wurschtel mich da durch. Mit linux kenne ich mich etwas aus aber bin jetzt nicht extrem tief drin zur not bleibe ich halt bei windows

I have had the emby server running for some time now with no issues at all, but recently (about 2 weeks) the ROKU app is constantly buffering over and over, and often fails to play the video. The tested videos have play perfectly in the past with no buffering whatsoever. Both og my ROKU devices have the same issue. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. - Techowl -

Hi guys, I was looking for help with an issue I’m having where suggestions aren’t loading properly on my new Onn 4K Pro. While searching, I found this thread and, oh boy, what a ride. I had no idea the Android TV version of Emby is going to be retire at some point. I tried the Emby Android (beta) version for a couple of days and gave it a fair chance, since I was already testing the TV version on this new device. I have to say the Android version is fairly close to the TV version experience, but I agree that the TV version feels like a premium experience. It’s buttery smooth, fast, and responsive, even with demanding media, with quick navigation and the most common actions just a couple of clicks away. Don’t get me wrong, the Android version on the same device works fine. I like that it shows more info about my media and gives me more settings, including server settings. But it’s slower to load and display images, clunkier, and it stutters when you move around. It’s also slower to start playback and to navigate during playback. Trailers are working, yes, but that’s not a deal breaker for me if I can keep the TV version. Overall, it feels like I went back to my old Mi Box S2 experience. As a lifetime premium subscriber, this is the first time I’ve felt disappointed by a decision from the dev team. I’m sure digital stores don’t make things simple, but I’m also sure there is a way, and professionals need to be up to the challenge. If there are specific constraints or behaviors in the Google Store or elsewhere, let us know and I’m sure we’ll do our best to make your voice heard. I hope you can reconsider the decision to retire Emby for Android TV, or at least provide an equally smooth experience with the new one before doing it. Right now it truly feels like a downgrade. In the meantime, can someone help me with this? I’m not sure who to blame. The suggestion rows show up on the Home screen on the Onn device. I have two rows for Emby because I currently have both versions installed, but they fail to load images or whatever they’re supposed to show. If I click on any suggestion, it does open the movie. I granted all permissions that were offered for the app on the device, so I’m not sure what else to try. By the way, did I read correctly that there is an Android TV beta version of Emby too? If so, where? I signed up for the beta program in the Google Play Store, but only the Android version offers me a beta version. Maybe I misunderstood.

Remove cache, clear data... try again.

Will see what i can do about it. Strange, looking at it now.

Fixed.

Hey @Luke- just a heads up, we're still on 4.8.8.0 - did the lads at TM get back to you ever?

Thank you, Luke! You helped me in the past, about five years ago, with my initial server. Glad to find you again. The transfer is going smoothly. I’ve noticed that I just need to be patient and go show by show, setting it to download only missing metadata. Since my .nfo files are mostly complete, it ends up downloading only the missing images without changing anything in the .nfo files, which is what I want. Thanks again.

Thanks, this is good information. I guess my tv buffers the stream, then my NAS goes into idle mode. Then when the buffer gets empty, it starts the disks up too slow. Could this be? Does the LG tv app have logs where i could identify why it buffers?

The DLL is missing !

Same version (4.9.3.0), this problem is really problematic.

After updating the Emby app from the Google Play Store, Emby no longer opens. The app shows the loading spinner briefly (about 1 second) and then gets stuck on the splash/start screen indefinitely. Device: POCO F5 Pro System version: MIUI 14.0.6 Emby version: 3.5.28

Update: Issue Resolved I have managed to resolve the playback issue, although I performed two changes simultaneously and I am not entirely sure which one was the definitive fix. Here are the adjustments I made: Transcoding Path: I explicitly defined the Transcoding temporary path as /tmp. Previously, this field was left empty, which defaults to the server's internal data directory. I verified that /tmp has the correct permissions (drwxrwxrwt) for the Emby service to write. Bitrate/Quality Settings: I changed the playback quality on the LG client from a fixed 720p - 1 Mbps to Auto. My previous logs showed that the server was attempting to transcode because the media bitrate exceeded the 1 Mbps limit. The "Invalid Argument" error in FFmpeg has disappeared, and playback now initiates instantly. It is possible that either the default transcoding directory had an underlying pathing issue on Ubuntu 24.04, or the specific 1 Mbps bitrate constraint was causing a conflict with the FFmpeg output parameters for this WebOS version.

Your AC3 shows up as EAC3 Dolby Atmos in your remux log. I think Atmos is the problem. See: https://support.emby.media/support/articles/LG-Why-not-Atmos.html?q=atmos Other related dscussions on this online: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Dolby+Digital+AC3+audio+convert+Emby&ia=web Solution may be to remux the audio to another codec and save new media verisons. I don't deal with Atmos. This is a guess.

Thank you so much for the work on this. It is next level amazing and brought me fully to EMBY....

Infinite Loading Spinner on LG WebOS (43UF7787-ZA) - No Playback Started Description I have been using Emby Server for a long time without any issues across all my devices. However, recently, without any changes to my setup, I encountered a playback issue specifically on my LG Smart TV (Model: 43UF7787-ZA, WebOS). When I try to play any video media, a loading spinner appears on the screen and stays there indefinitely. The media never starts playing. Steps to Reproduce Open the Emby app on LG Smart TV. Navigate to any video library. Select a movie or TV show. Click the "Play" button. An infinite loading spinner appears, and playback does not initiate. What I have tried so far: Searched community forums and tested various configuration changes (none worked). (Logout, Delete LG App, Turn off and then install again, change file type etc.) Updated the Emby LG app to version 1.0.50. Updated the Emby Server to version 4.10.0.3 Beta. Verified that playback still works perfectly on other devices (Web, Mobile, etc.). System Information LG TV Model: 43UF7787-ZA LG App Version: 1.0.50 Emby Server Version: 4.10.0.3 Beta Custom CSS: None (or disabled for testing). By the way here is the chown result of "/var/lib/emby/transcoding-temp" drwxrwxrwx 2 emby emby 4096 Feb 22 18:27 /var/lib/emby/transcoding-temp ffmpeg-transcode-d5efbebf-faa6-4c5f-8992-4afcfcb39ac0_1.txt embyserver.txt

@jriker1I've gone strictly to M3u. There are many providers out there or if you are willing to do the work you can manage your own system. I pretty much replicated everything I used to do with youtubeTV and have it in Emby. There are shortcomings at times where shows will stop for one reason or another, however I don't spend that much time trying to determine if its the provider who stopped sending data or is something local. I refresh my screen when that happens for live shows and it works for me. It can be frustrating for others who want a seamless experience but again it works for me.

I'm using Windows Version of Emby Server Version 4.9.3.0 and have the exact same probs with the subtitles using the LG Emby app
