All Activity

I just installed the beta and scheduled some shows. I'll let you know.

well, we wanted to establish when it is run manually, if it fails or renews the emby.p12 cert. my suggestion to rename was to ensure you are looking at the new emby.p12 file and not one that existed before when checking its expiry date Running in terminal is just another name for running it in a linux shell session using tools such as putty Debugging is just looking at what commands return and output when executed breaking it up into indivdual commands in my suggest test was to check the result of each command you could run the script manually as well instead of breaking it up you could also change the openssl line to direct the output to a file e.g. changing the openssl line to something like openssl pkcs12 -export -out emby.p12 -inkey SSLprivatekey.key -in SSLcertificate.crt -passout pass:mykey > opensslout.txt and then after the script runs, you would inspect the opensslout.txt file to see if it has any clues that help work out why the emby.p12 file is wrong

@hdsuisseThere's a new Dev version 2.1.8.0 in the plugin catalogue. Although it hopefully fixes your problem also with the Export Stream Type "Universal", i suggest you to switch to the new Stream Type "Direct". That one has less overhead. However, read the description of that setting carefully to understand the consequences!

@LukeWill we get the ability for theme videos on the Apple TV in the new home screen revamp?

Unfortunately yes on the store but curious here on web is it a diff manual apk???

Yes you do

Works fine on fire TV but roku isnt displaying any cover art backdrops logos or images.

Try this working for me https://github.com/Fox8284/Microsoft-HEVC-Video-Extension/tree/main

Yep same here. App just crashes, not on the four minute mark though. In the log it shows: Has gone idle while playing see timestamp: 21:33:55:853 embyserver.txt

Thank you for the detailed reply, Sa2000. So, I know how to log in via SSH and I can also execute certain commands. Lukas wrote that I should run the script in a terminal to debug it. My questions were whether by "terminal" he meant access via SSH or how I can open a terminal on the QNAP NAS? Also, I'm not familiar with the term "debugging." I don't know what I'm supposed to do in that regard. Now, regarding Sa2000: I have SSH enabled and I use it to some extent. Somehow I missed the messages from last Wednesday... I also understand the basics of using PuTTY. Do I absolutely have to rename emby.p12? When I renewed the SSL certificate about two months ago, I manually executed the `openssl pkc12 -export ...` line. The certificate was then updated. That would probably work again now. However, I don't want to do it that way again because my original problem would remain. This means that my script, which is described in the quoted section of my message from March 29th, still isn't working as intended, and I won't be able to continue troubleshooting for another two months, because that's when the SSL certificate will be renewed. The problem is that it runs every hour, but it doesn't recognize that the SSL certificate has been renewed, and therefore the `openssl pkcs12 ...` command apparently isn't being executed. My question is, why is this happening? Is there still a small error in the script? If so, what is it?

Tested 3.5.32. No DV.

Ah, glad you caught it. Must be a regression.

Incorrect, it's an SRT embedded in the MKV, so it's just text.

No it doesn't. Interesting. I mean it show entries like authentication and playback but the last one is from February...

Hi, yes it is, but it's only used when sorting by song title.

Hi, please attach the kodi log as well. T hanks.

Hi, we'll take a look at it. Thanks.

yes it's local vs remote playback.... this is the reason of trancoding : TranscodeReasons=ContainerBitrateExceedsLimit

Der, Transcoding starts based on the end use's bandwidth. What do you mean watch without transcoding? Are you using a different player. Is this local verus remote? Is it with a different TV or connection? Some end user player app or browser can play video directly and some cannot? Transcoding clicks on when the end user needs it. So, one user can get direct and the another with a different setup cannot and has to have transcoding. Maybe something like that is happening.

If I watch the same video without transcoding, with the problematic subtitle enabled, everything works fine.

Yep. No transcoding. I will wait for other answers and then test other version. Maybe there is something I should adjust in the settings but so far I did not find anything.

Is it direct playing? There's nothing is listed in the release notes about DV, but you could try sideloading 3.5.32.

Aha... OK. That subrip graphic does force, a full video transcoding, I believe, in order to burn in the subtitles. So, starting perhaps with no transcoding is needed and then the first subtitle appears and forces a transcoding. that could fit the symptoms. Maybe the orced subrip title is no longer noticed in the media and that fools the test and transcoding is not started at all or at some higher quality setting that just fails when the subs finally show up, three mnutes in, or whatever. Maybe the fix is to make sure Emby notices subrip forced graphic sub in the media metadata. Also an issue would be that some metadata for some media does not have all the data at the beginning of the media file. This is the optimized way to have media for streaming, but who knows where the media was created and by what software. If it is not optimized with the metadata available at th start of the file, then the forced sub info can be missed. This can happen when anyone makes a copy with a 3rd party software encoder. You cannot easily tell from one media to another if the data is optimized. That is an issue that is not the fault of Emby, if that is what's happening.

I am in the same boat but no one really cares. I have made a thread with the exact same issue years ago. Just disappointing

"...we’ll probably make a go of it.” "...for a theoretical new Shield." It's not a certainty that they will release a newer version but, at least, it's something. Honestly, I don't care about the gaming features, "just" a powerful Android TV box for streaming (including my UHD remuxes using Emby), support for all newer video and audio codecs, without lag. But if Nvidia releases a new one, I'm even afraid to know the price. There's the Homatics R Plus 4K but the issues list of fw updates and overheating, is too long for me to buy it. And, as far as I know, the team behind it is very small. Well, sorry to all for the off-topic.
