Yeah, I like busting on the dev team . The Jellyfin team got notified about it back in May 24th and had a fix out by May 26th, 2 days. Just sayin'. Not sure why Emby was not notified back in May 26th with the rest of the major users. Kodi wasn't notified until June 7th and FFmpeg didn't have an official patched version until June 17th. The CVE was published on June 18th. I remember back at Meta when CVE's would be found and getting SEV 0 or 1 alerts on my phone. They would send them every 15 minutes until I acknowledged the event no matter what time of the night it was, even Christmas Eve. We usually had to resolved the problem within 24 hours or less. Good times.

Hey — thanks, would love to have you on the beta Your setup is honestly close to ideal for it. Music + audiobooks: both are covered. The sonic features (similar tracks, radio, "sonic adventures" that morph A→B, auto-mixes) run on your music library. Audiobooks live in their own Emby library and are deliberately kept out of the sonic analysis — so your wife's audiobooks still get full browse/playback/resume in the app, but spoken word never pollutes the music similarity. Best of both. That GPU is genuinely useful to me. The analysis is neural audio embedding (PANNs CNN14), and there's a CUDA worker that I've built but haven't been able to verify on real NVIDIA hardware yet — a 4090 would chew through a 70K library far faster than CPU. If you're up for it, confirming the worker actually picks up the card (it logs device=cuda on startup) would be a real help, and you'd get the fastest possible first scan out of it. Heads up that a 70K initial scan is a background marathon regardless — but it runs incrementally and new tracks get picked up automatically after. On pylrcget / timed lyrics: interesting project — I can see the appeal. It's adjacent in the "make your library richer" sense, but mechanically it's a different beast: emby-sonic analyses the audio itself (timbre, texture, sonic fingerprint) rather than anything in the lyrics/text. So not overlapping, but I like where your head's at. Can you send me your GitHub username and I'll DM you the onboarding bits — the Android app APK, the Emby plugin, and a quick-start for the coordinator + GPU worker. What Emby server version are you on, and is the 4090 box the one running Emby or a separate machine on the LAN?

Thanks for your efforts here. Nice app. Two questions: Do you plan to honor audio/music libraries? (ie have separate libraries) Will you allow users without passwords

Hi, on one of those libraries, can you try using the image editor to first delete the existing image. Then assign your new image. Then see if it happens again after that. Thanks.

Hi there, what exactly happens?

My friend "Riccardo" connect but not play movie, receive too error warnings.. Pls can you help me, i enclosed logs ? Thank Hispa embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-e3b67745-6f5e-4cfa-bbe8-13e8a8d5425c_1.txt

Same for iPhone. It drives me nuts.

Hmm ok. So how do I install this?

Hi. Just for clarity, it wasn't brought to our attention until last week. We're working on the best path for the stable release. Thanks.

Additionally, if you using Emby Theater legacy version (not the Windows App Store version), you might want to update your mpv-1.dll as well. This is usually located: "AppData\Roaming\Emby-Theater\system\electronapp\libmpv\x64\mpv-1.dll" Here is where you can get the updated version with the latest FFmpeg. https://github.com/mitzsch/mpv-winbuild/releases?page=1

Have not found it so far. @GuderianCould you try a test for me with Process Monitor installed and running. I do not need a dmp file this time - just the embyclient.txt log and windows event viewer and zip of the PML file from procmon Procmon uses a lot of system resources - so we only need to run it for short time just before launching the Emby Windows app and stopping the capture once you get the dialogue box saying: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. So please download Process Monitor Unzip it Launch procmon.exe accept EULA and start with default capture filter Then launch emby windows client app When you get the error dialogue box, go back to the procmon session and stop the capture I have circled in green the icon for stopping / starting capture Once stopped, click File from the menu and then choose "Save .." and select the option to save as Native Procss Monitor formar (PML) and choose a path to save the PML file to Then please also save the full Windows Event Logs (Application and System) into evtx files - do not filter. Then zip the PML and the 2 evntx files and upload to the link i am going to send you. Please also include the embyclient.txt file Thanks

To clarify the scope of CVE-2026-8461, this vulnerability is in FFmpeg’s MagicYUV decoder. In practical terms, it is triggered by media files that cause FFmpeg to process video using the MagicYUV codec. If your media files are encoded with common codecs such as HEVC, AVC, H.265, H.264, x265, or x264, they should not be affected by this specific vulnerability. However, any movie or video content obtained from untrusted sources should be treated with caution, especially if it may be using or masquerading as MagicYUV. Tools such as MediaInfo, ffprobe, or FFmpeg itself can be used to verify the codec information. Manually replacing or patching the FFmpeg binaries bundled with Emby Server is generally not recommended, because Emby ships its own FFmpeg build and compatibility may depend on that specific build. That said, this should be addressed in the stable release branch as soon as possible. According to JFrog’s disclosure timeline, the issue was reported to the FFmpeg security team on May 13, 2026, and acknowledged on May 19, 2026.

In the end, it was the ISP. They had switched me back to CGNAT. I changed it back to a regular public IP, and now everything is working fine. 3/3 so far... Windows 11 pro , I had disabled everything in the antivirus (windows + real a/v software) for testing.

Alright yeah I need to take the time to install this thing then

if you are not directing the next command specifically at the [emby alexa|ear wax] skill "Alexa, Ask Ear Wax|MB Home, Next", then the response/outcome you got from "Alexa, next" might not be indicative of what the skill is and is not doing. (at least that is my experience)

Yes I recall seeing this on android. Will take a look. Thanks.

Thanks Luke

@sundevil67 HI there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !

Hi Luke, here's the record. I already explained my problem in the first post. embyserver.txt

Anyone else having a hard time with subtitles? I'm thrilled that I got this plugin to work for 2026 movies, but it isn't allowing me to add subtitles through the OpenSubtitles plugin. I'm assuming this is because there is technically no folder for this on my drive like there are for all of my other libraries. It will tell me I've downloaded them successfully, but will then still be missing from the content. Is there a workaround for this, or am I stuck just creating another library and adding g movies I want to watch?

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

Hi, can we please start with the information that I requested above? How to Report a Problem Thanks.

@sa2000elsewhere in the forum someone found some windows setting that had to be disabled for the installer. maybe you can find it.

Stay the same. Gives the same error.
