Any update on this? Been having this issue for months, updated to the latest, currently 4.10.04 server and error on Nvidia shield, Sony TV, and Onn Pro 2.1.23 but it does work on my phone Android 3.5.28.

Gemini seems to recognize the problem. Its suggested fix (which matches mine) resolves it:

That's how I interpreted the error message I get when I copy one of these failed command from the emby log and run it manually. I've included another example below. Whatever the reason for failure I'd like to know how I can fix it because emby keeps retrying these failed commands on a growing number of files, which wakes my drives. / # /bin/ffmpeg -ss 00:05:14.052 -f mp4 -i file:"/media/TV/Pride and Prejudice/Season 1/Pride and Prejudice S01E06 - Episode 6.mp4" -an -sn -threads 0 -vf "thumbnail=24" -f image2 -b:v 100M "/config/cache/temp/fe8652e1-03d5-4273-974f-ec1b7 ed79826.jpg" ffmpeg version 5.1-emby_2023_06_25_p4 Copyright (c) 2000-2022 the FFmpeg developers and softworkz for Emby LLC built with gcc 10.3.0 (crosstool-NG 1.25.0) Execution Date: 2026-03-29 20:26:18 Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'file:/media/TV/Pride and Prejudice/Season 1/Pride and Prejudice S01E06 - Episode 6.mp4': Metadata: major_brand : isom minor_version : 512 compatible_brands: isomiso2mp41 title : Pride.and.Prejudice.1995.S01E06.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG encoder : Lavf60.3.100 comment : Pride.and.Prejudice.1995.S01E06.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG Duration: 00:52:20.52, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 2136 kb/s Stream #0:0[0x1](und): Video: hevc (Main 10) (hvc1 / 0x31637668), yuv420p10le(tv), 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 1999 kb/s, Level 120, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 16k tbn (default) Metadata: handler_name : VideoHandler vendor_id : [0][0][0][0] Stream #0:1[0x2](eng): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 129 kb/s (default) Metadata: handler_name : SoundHandler vendor_id : [0][0][0][0] File '/config/cache/temp/fe8652e1-03d5-4273-974f-ec1b7ed79826.jpg' already exists.

Attached a video and server logs. I tried in both the public app version and also the beta and had the same issue IMG_2969.MOV ffmpeg-transcode-37275ae3-5a79-4450-bc2d-4d811cbd1d89_1.txt

Connect actually does not seem to be working, as I had previously reported. It may have worked temporarily due to some kind of caching. ---- With both ports exposed Direct connections by port: Port 8920 works directly from remote or local Port 8196 from remote connection upgrades -> 8920 Through app.emby.media My server shows in the list, but when selected, I get "We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again." ---- With only 8920 exposed Direct connections by port: Port 8920 works directly from remote or local Port 8196 does not connect Through app.emby.media My server shows in the list, but when selected, I get "We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again." ---- Configuration below (automatic port mapping disabled)

A fix for this is ready and will be in the next update. Even when you specifically choose a collection from the dropdown? You are probably correct, i believe they share the same lookup logic, so comma-separated might not have been the best way to do this then. Didn't even cross my mind one might have commas in the collection name.. The issue with using the pipe | is that it might be unknown for users how to type that (and it differs from keyboard layout). I'll figure something out for next update

What network type did you use to get Comskipper working on UnRaid? I have it generating .edl files, but Emby won't use them. I started with "Bridged" like I run most containers, but Comskipper.dll caused constant errors when called. Switched to "Host" and Comskipper.dll no longer causes errors, but it can't see the .edl file on the SMB share. (the .edl file does exist and works perfectly if I play the recording with Kodi) "Comskip EDL file [\\192.168.67.3\pvr\Emby\recordings\Recording 2026_03_29_15_00_00.edl] does not exist." I guess I'm going to try a "Custom : br0" network next but I'm pooped and calling it quits for the day before I break all of my clients by changing the IP for the custom network. Hoping for some guidance if anyone has this working on UnRaid.

That is why I suggested you put it behind a configuration switch and turn it off by default

Hi. Improvement exactly how? Is secure access working when you don't use Connect? How did you set your secure access mode in your server?

Not everyone will and they are very clunky to operate.

Hi, there's already an open request for this or something functionally equivalent. Please join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

Please don't create duplicates. Please just join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

It is working now. As I suspected, when I opened the insecure port to WAN, connect picked up my server no problem. I would prefer not to have the extra port exposed. Maybe an improvement to connect is in order?

I don't believe it does - but I can see it would be a sensible idea. Paul

hi？

You don't. If you did not rip these yourself, your only option is to do it one at a time or replace the series with a copy that has them included, which no one here can help you with.

hi there, I have made 2 short recordings off the Emby tv guide. one plays back ok, the other doesn't on my LG OLED65CS6LA. They both playback ok on emby windows app and LG OLED55B7V. I have not touched the file structures meta data etc... I have zipped up both below. Hopefully somebody can unzip and put into there pvr folder to test playback, or look to see if they can figure out why it wont play back on my tv. thanks PLAYS OK.zip WONT PLAY.zip

That is worth looking into. Thanks for the tip.

Wouldn't it open in a browser like it does does on your phone? My tv does have a browser installed.

Until recently, I had QTS running on my QNAP NAS systems. This guide worked perfectly then. I've since updated all my QTS systems to hero h6.0.0.****. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the script to run since then. I learned from QNAP support that under QuTS Hero it's no longer possible to let the certificate be converted automatically, as was previously possible with QTS, because the Let's Encrypt certificate is no longer stored under a fixed path. My hope was that I could manually download the automatically updated certificate using the QNAP Control Panel under Security, SSL Certificate & Private Key, and that at least the conversion to a p12 certificate would then happen automatically. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work either. I'm not getting any error message. The log file also always shows that the certificate key hasn't changed, even though I've updated the CRT and key files. I saved all scripts, certificates, and the log file in a folder I created myself, named SSL-Certificate. Since QNAP renamed the cert file to SSLcertificate.crt and the corresponding key file to SSLprivatekey.key, I modified the CertRenew.sh script as follows. My SSL certificate folder looks like this. What's wrong with the script? It's not recognizing that the SSLcertificate.crt file has been renewed, and therefore the certificate and key have changed, so that the emby.p12 certificate should also be updated as it should be. The CertRenew.sh script is running correctly as a cron job every hour, and I can see in the check-p12.log that the key supposedly hasn't changed. Could someone please give me a tip on how to automatically update my emby.p12 certificate using the script? This should happen as soon as I download an updated SSL certificate via the Control Panel and save the contents of the extracted ZIP file to my SSL-Certificate folder, overwriting the SSLcertificate.crt and SSLprivatekey.key files, including the SSLIntermediateCertificate.crt file, with the updated data. I don't think the latter file is needed for this update. Looking at the first two files, I see that the validity period of the certificate (crt) has been updated to the end of June this year, and the contents of the key file are also different.

At least on Emby for Android it seems that the Version in the radial menu is not the one downloaded unless it is also the default selection. For example, I have two versions of a movie, the Theatrical 4k and a Directors Cut 2k and even when I have the 2K DC selected in the version menu, when pressing download it Dow loads the 4K edition. I would request that we download the version selected. The bitrate dialog is not sufficient alone to grab the right version.

If this is causing the problem I always preferred using the pipe symbol | (shift \) for this.

Oh, I see! The lowest 4K option Emby ship is 40 Mbps, but I think that's just a missing preset, not a technical limitation. Lower 4K bitrates should work fine with QSV but I'm not sure what lower threshold would drop quality. Worth raising with the Emby team as a feature request? Some clients also have a custom bitrate option.

For me, it’s constructive criticism and not meant to offend; I would love to see Emby be the best it can be. I bought a lifetime subscription a few months ago, but I find it odd that basic features are missing or non-functional compared to Jellyfin. Auto-next episode is not working: I have to install diagnostic options and enable "Disable HLS Subtitles" to get it to function. Missing TMDB thumbnail options: There is no TMDB option to optimize my thumbnails with text for TV shows. I currently have to rely on Jellyfin to do the "donkey work" of downloading thumbnails with text. Default Functionality: Jellyfin includes the TMDB option for TV show thumbnails with text by default, whereas it seems to be missing here. Auto-next episode : Works perfectly
