Just a minor pain point for me is why I raised it as a FR. Emby is a great product and I appreciate the replies. thanks again!

Maybe a filter on that screen.

Hi, are you sure this is the log from when you delete within Emby? I do not see that activity here. Thanks.

Hello. Inexperienced poster so please excuse any mistakes. I encountered a problem while managing collections, and I don't know if I encountered a really bad bug or some weird one-off mishap. Here's what happened: I created a collection to group two tv series together only to discover tvdb already treats the two series as one. So I deleted the collection: I clicked the three dot in the lower corner of the collection poster and select "Delete". All of this occurred through the webapp (on Chrome). Admittedly I probably should have emptied the collection first, but considering the result it didn't seem like it would've mattered. The moment I clicked "Delete" I could see activities in the media folder. But here's the thing, it didn't delete the videos in the collection. It deleted everything else. All movies, series, videos that weren't in the collection --basically everything but those two series-- were deleted. Luckily I have backups and snapshots so I shouldn't have lost much. Still, this seems really, really bad. Firstly, did I use the wrong method to delete a collection and should I have emptied it first? Secondly, even if that was the wrong method what I actually did still shouldn't have led to the server deleting everything but the collection. So what happened and how do I prevent it from happening again? I've included the emby server log from around the time this happened: I found the part where everything was working normally, I can see it creating a collection, deleting a collection, then missing media errors. Doesn't say anything that I can discern as useful. I did also check if I had somehow inadvertently deleted it myself, but had that happened the deleted files would've been moved to the network recycle bin and they didn't Emby server running on Win 11.

Hi Luke, I agree I can see them in the guide, but that means scrolling through 14 days of shows across many channels to find the ones marked as Premiere (and they are the same colour as new so that makes it a bit harder even). If the suggestions had a separate row for premiers (not mixed into the many new episodes) that would be great as well, but as it is, that’s not easy finding it in the “new episode” section as there is no indication of a new episode be a programs premier (I just tried and I have at least 50+ new episodes in that row and maybe a premiere is mixed in?) thanks for the consideration. Erik

Hi, it looks like your server is having trouble reaching the movie db api. Is something blocking your connection? Also please attach the complete emby server log. Thanks.

Hi, that's not actually why the TranscodingMaxAudioChannels param was added, so it is currently behaving as designed (although the sync issue is not good). The reason this param was added was to make sure that if we are already transcoding audio, to ensure that we are not transcoding to a channel count that doesn't make sense. But at the same time, to not cause any unnecessary transcoding. So that's why it is only checked when transcoding is already occurring, and why it is named as such.

Hi, a couple options already exist: Turn on the indicators in the guide and turn off others that you don't want to see. This will allow you to scroll quickly through the guide and visualize them. Use the New Episodes section on the Suggestions tab

Hi, yes it's not a bad idea. Thanks.

Hi, what makes you think Emby cares more about android than apple?

Hi, what version number of the app do you have?

HI, yes I really like this idea and want to add this. The problem is that sometimes turning subtitles on or off requires the whole video stream to be changed, so doing that would not be as seamless as how you are envisioning. What we could do is add an option to do it only when it doesn't require a video stream change, and that will work just fine. But then the problem there is that when it doesn't happen, it may leave you wondering why if you've forgotten about that detail.

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

I guess the question is whether you think of specials as a season or not. I mean yes we use Season 0 for file naming, but is that what they actually are?

I hadn't accessed or added new movies to my server for a while. This week, I downloaded a new movie, and the search function threw up errors. I tried to fix it using ChatGPT but couldn't. ChatGPT suggested the issue was caused by how I had grouped movie collections into subfolders—sometimes putting sequels together in the same folder (e.g., *Die Hard*, *Die Hard 2*, etc.). However, I used to do this without any problems. I went to a lot of trouble moving them into separate folders, but that didn't fix it. When searching for the movies, the log reports an error... What happened? What changed? Is it a bug, or has the architecture changed? 2026-07-07 21:28:51.238 Info MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Execute: /opt/emby-server/bin/ffprobe -i file:"/EmbyFiles/contents/french/filmes/The Belier Family/The.Belier.Family.[La.Famille.Belier].2014.BRRip.x264.HORiZON-ArtSubs.mkv" -threads 0 -v info -print_format json -show_streams -show_chapters -show_format -show_data 2026-07-07 21:28:51.258 Info MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Process exited with code 0 2026-07-07 21:28:51.347 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1/subtitles?languages=pt-br&moviehash=bbe37dc80cedc856 2026-07-07 21:28:51.363 Info HttpClient: Http response 200 from https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1/subtitles?languages=pt-br&moviehash=bbe37dc80cedc856 after 15ms 2026-07-07 21:28:51.366 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/304410?api_key=x_secret2_x&append_to_response=alternative_titles,reviews,casts,releases,images,keywords,trailers&language=pt-BR&include_image_language=pt-BR,null 2026-07-07 21:28:51.368 Error App: Error in TheMovieDb *** Error Report *** Version: 4.9.5.0 Command line: /opt/emby-server/system/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /var/lib/emby -ffdetect /opt/emby-server/bin/ffdetect -ffmpeg /opt/emby-server/bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /opt/emby-server/bin/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3 -updatepackage emby-server-deb_{version}_amd64.deb Operating system: Linux version 5.15.0-185-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-012) (gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04.3) 11.4.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.38) #195-Ub OS/Process: x64/x64 Framework: .NET 8.0.25 Runtime: opt/emby-server/system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 12 Data path: /var/lib/emby Application path: /opt/emby-server/system MediaBrowser.Model.Net.HttpException: MediaBrowser.Model.Net.HttpException: Cancelling connection to https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/304410?api_key=x_secret2_x&append_to_response=alternative_titles,reviews,casts,releases,images,keywords,trailers&language=pt-BR&include_image_language=pt-BR,null due to a previous timeout. at Emby.Server.Implementations.HttpClientManager.CoreHttpClientManager.SendAsyncInternal(HttpRequestOptions options, String httpMethod) at Emby.Server.Implementations.HttpClientManager.CoreHttpClientManager.SendAsync(HttpRequestOptions options, String httpMethod) at MovieDb.MovieDbProviderBase.GetMovieDbResponse(HttpRequestOptions options) at MovieDb.MovieDbProvider.FetchMainResult(String id, Boolean isTmdbId, String language, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MovieDb.MovieDbProvider.DownloadMovieInfo(String id, String preferredMetadataLanguage, String dataFilePath, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MovieDb.GenericMovieDbInfo`1.FetchMovieData(String tmdbId, String imdbId, String language, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MovieDb.GenericMovieDbInfo`1.GetMetadata(ItemLookupInfo searchInfo, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Providers.Manager.MetadataService`2.ExecuteRemoteProviders(MetadataResult`1 temp, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, String logName, TIdType id, IRemoteMetadataProvider`2[] providers, MetadataRefreshOptions options, CancellationToken cancellationToken) Source: Emby.Server.Implementations TargetSite: Void MoveNext() 2026-07-07 21:28:51.375 Info ProviderManager: RefreshItem Complete: 4879 CollectionFolder /var/lib/emby/root/default/Filmes

It's about the back button in the item list which I'm seeing but he doesn't:

I don't see an issue in this log. What makes you think it's still failing?

No back button where exactly? In this screenshot the X button is the back button, to dismiss the dialog.

HI there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !

Hi, actually yes I see an issue here. We are looking into it. Thanks.

Hi. Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares? Thanks.

Hi, Emby doesn't create folders in your media storage, but rather the other way around. You import your folders into Emby Server. What makes you think Emby created them?

Yea I guess that makes sense

OK can you please pick one and provide some discussion about it? What exactly makes you think it didn't sync?
