All Activity

But what is the actual benefit? The only specific "benefit" you have specified is that you prefer it. Paul

The android client was on the tv at a different house, havent experienced any issues there but will check again this Friday when I’m there.

Just above you said:

Mostly a question of adding keywords for the OCR engine to look after.

Have set up PaddleOCR docker on my gaming PC. So my 4090 can rip through my 80K+ episodes, seems to be working well so far! 30hr ETA rather than 100s-1000s of hours via Tesseract on my unraid server. Issues with anime like Boruto and others, but I guess that's pretty normal?

Hi, just asking out of curiosity. Is this behavior of the navigation bar on mobile phones intentional? It only occurs when the keyboard is active. It would be nice if the bar could be turned off. Android Version 3.5.55

Ok I have 8 tvs in total in my home, 2 in my caravan usually about 4 are on at the same time, just want hardware that will run upto 10 tvs without freezing or lagging I use live tv from m3u and hd homerun Series and movies from ip tv supplier on m3u also thinking of upgrading my hardware but no idea which direction to go with the equipment

It sounds like maybe this is a bigger issue and I don't want to cause any problems. Since Roku has dropped support, I may just have to go ahead and do some batch conversions and get everything MP3. Even though it's a bunch of folders, I bet if I find the right utility, it won't be terrible. That will be my plan at this point. Thanks all for your attention on this.

Goros, Thanks for those details. Hmm, so another way out would be to make sure all the media content is similar enough, or the same exact audio video, so users always get similar quality and timing for each media. That would take a lot of extra work. Hopefully, your info is useful to help make Emby better.

The bigger issue is that HDMI doesn't ever carry AAC anyway - your PC/Server, Nvidia Shield, Roku, etc all convert it to multichannel PCM and send it over the HDMI that way, but TV's - because they don't have the processing power and Arc & TOSLINK don't have the bandwidth - will always turn it into PCM 2.0. Doing what you're suggesting is possible, but then you're dealing with input lag and having to adjust the signal timings for lip sync, which change based on the source and type of container. I used to do this with emby installed on my nvidia shield pro connected to the receiver and then the receiver sends the video to the tv, but you lose a mess of features and ease of use for just having everything on the TV directly. The other reason for buying the Sony Bravia series TV's is the best-in-class built in 4k upscaling (the Cognitive XR processor) that it does on the apps while you're watching - so regardless of if it's emby, netflix, or OTA, the TV upscales without having to do a thing - it's actually more powerful than the Shield TV Pro 2019 and easier to use. Since KODI for emby already HAS the option to force convert to AC3 (which forces the emby server to do the work), there's nothing keeping emby from implementing it in full in their native app, except for not wanting to do the coding. emby already HAS it built in, but it only converts to AC3 if the device emby is installed on does not handle AAC natively - which all TVs have done for over a decade now. The trick is getting a toggle to force it 24/7 every time it sees an AAC container. I'm sure my use case isn't rare, as all tv's turn AAC into pcm 2.0 natively when feeding into a soundbar or receiver, and you know that people are installing emby on TV's instead of on streaming boxes or sticks - if Emby wants people to use their app instead of Kodi or Jellyfin, they really need to cater to those of us who want the audio passed in the best way possible.

Thank you EVERYONE!! I now have a more than enough!! Thank you

To the server itself? Yes, as in the screenshots in the original post. I can connect to the server, it's definitely the right server, I'm logged in on the same user account, but no media shows on anything except for the laptop, where it's all stored via connected external hard-drives. As said, the only option I have is my playlists, and I can see the playlists I've made, but there's no media actually in them. I can access the server itself, just not the MEDIA that's meant to be accessed through it... unless I'm on the laptop, where the server is hosted. And again, I have confirmed everything is correctly located, I've rescanned the drives for the media files, I can watch them via Emby on the laptop. On the laptop, everything looks to be running fine, but no other device can access the media files via the server.

seen this before, and a good 6 month later

Can you connect from other devices on your LAN.

I just disabled the firewall entirely, since the only thing I actually use the laptop for is hosting my Emby server. Would the ports still need checking in that case?

Did you check your firewall on your server, to see if ports / Emby is still open?

So right now if I create a collection and I only want 90s TV shows, I'm able to but it shows both 90s movies and tv show. I would like to not be a Global collection but to be a collection that's library specific. Thank you.

Using wi-fi only, just tried to ping it from my desktop and it worked fine. Edit: just checked after doing the ping, still nothing showing on my TV.

Ah, yes that's tricky. Would it be nice to bing he audio first into an AV amp and then the Amp sends it to speakers and avoid the TV for any audio? AV amps can often forward the video via HDMI to the TV. The AV amp can also send the center channel to the TV if you don't have a center speaker. There is a HDMI splitter available that can split the audio out onto a second HDMI output as well. New AV amps are pricy but there are many out there open box or used that migh be able to do this. I have seen such amps below $50 in Goodwill shops, which is amazing. I think using an AV Amp or Preamp is a nice solution. The only side effect is after I connect everything, I have an urge go fix some spaghetti and meatballs.

So do you have the resources to fix these edge cases over time or probably not?

Can you ping the server's ip from the other pc? Are you using both a wired and a wifi connection on your server?

Did you install your own server, with your own media, on your own hardware ?

The problem has been occurring for several weeks on and off. Like I said above, the last time it worked was on 02/09/2026, but it was cropping up before then too.

This is a really small log. What time did the problem occur? The network mode will have nothing to do with it. You've connected to the server, so you're good from that respect.

It probably remembered a selected track. You could try unchecking that option if you'd rather just have it always play the track marked as default.
