I assume it would detect when a tool like Dispatcharr closes the connection vs. just failing over to a new stream (otherwise the recording would never end). I realize this has been covered in other threads, and that in theory some bigger rethink of live TV in Emby is coming someday, but in the meantime I really wish we could add some basic functionality to control the number of times Emby tries to reconnect a stream before it gives up, or to auto-resume a recording that ends before its scheduled time.

Sounds cool! Happy to help you beta test if/when you get to that point.

Hi. What happens if the stream really did go down permanently?

If the two servers are using the same key it should be one.

That can change at any time. I'm not saying this is impossible. I'm saying it isn't a straightforward as it might seem now that collections AND playlists can be sorted in different ways.

I just wanted to share my recent experiences related to some network changes I made in home network. I have had a 1Gig symmetrical fibre ISP connection for a few years now and have always struggled with remote clients selecting a very conservative "Auto" quality setting. Manually adjusting the quality setting to a higher level to force direct play almost never resulted in issues related to limited bandwidth. Last month I made the switch over to a Ubiquiti gateway and switch from a OpnSense router and Netgear switch. I never had issues with achieving my advertised line speed on my old setup so I figured all was good. Since switching over to my Ubiquiti setup, Emby's "Auto" setting has been much more reliable. I don't have tangible evidence to back it up but it just works better now. So either there was a change on the Emby backend around this same time or my new networking setup has much lower latency. I'm using the same DNS servers as before and nothing else in my setup has changed.

Yes, if the browser doesn't support FLAC, it should be transcoded. But I don't want FLAC to be transcoded for all browsers in general.

Happy to hear that. The next stable release will include the ARM64 package. Thanks a lot for testing.

Thanks, android log attached emby_android_1784137960830.txt

Hi, what makes you think this? How did you setup port forwarding in your router?

But that's not what you said in the expected behavior section of your original posting.

I can confirm that the problem is resolved when using the ARM64 build beta. The beta version opens as expected and both GUI and playback are stable and responsive. I'll keep using the beta until there's a public release. Thanks very much!!

Interessting, thanks.

Vid, Using Wifi could maybe be an issue. 2.4 Ghz can broadcast much farther thn 5 Ghz. Also maybe your neighbor is using the same Wifi Channel and causing your Wifi to get some interference. You can check this with Mobile apps that scan for Wifi. Maybe just changing te Wifi channel and or Ghz band on your router might help.

here are logs from 13-15 ... I think... Downloads.zip

Which browser supports flac https://caniuse.com/flac

Great - will do. Thanks!

The new beta has been published and it has an ARM64 package now. Please follow the instructions on the beta portal to get it installed.

I have a related question. If the same device connects to two different Emby servers, is it counted as one device or two? For example, if I have one server running the stable version and another running the beta version, and I connect to both from the same smartphone, how many device slots does that use?

That's more or less when I noticed it was happening to me too. I got to Kodi to watch something and it said the Emby server was offline... I checked Synology and it was. Had to start it manually a few times. Now I have to start it manually at least once a day, as sometimes when this crash happens Synology package manager doesn't bring Emby back up automatically. Sometimes it does. But i take this is a Synology thing and not an Emby thing. I thought about setting a job to restart emby once a day, but that's pointless. I rather work towards a real solution, that's when I started collecting logs. Now sa2000 has all my logs. Hopefully he (she?) can see something I'm not seeing and find out what's causing this.

@sa2000I have sent you my logs via DM, and I also sent you my script that's collecting the statistics. I have been scanning every 30 minutes since I installed emby years ago and never had any issues. That's mostly because the hardware is powerful and largely underutilized. I have 32G of ram and until this problem started emby had never used more than 1GB RAM even under heavy stress (serving simultaneous 4K videos to all four KODIs in the house while scanning at the same time). This points to something new, introduced by a plugin or one of the latest updates, as I keep my emby version up to date as much as I can. Thanks for looking at my logs! I hope they're useful and lead to a solution of this issue to us all!

But I want FLAC to be played by default. I don't want to have to convert the format every time just because of a browser.

See attachment, one folder automatically plugged in an image while the other did not.

What was the solution?

Hi that’s odd. The browser must be reporting that it supports it. The next release will have a section in settings to force transcoding of certain formats so you can use that.
