All other apps such as Netflix, disney+ and prime function fine and without any lag at all. Are there any settings to try and make this more responsive and reliable on this TV as my old 1080p lg TV which the 43 inch one replaced never had these issues and always 8 years old. Happy to try any suggestions

Yes, unfortunately the 32LR60006LA is a low-end device, so it won't have a powerful CPU for app navigation, etc. The client will try and adapt to that by limiting some UI animations, etc, but performance will possibly still be average which is probably also going to be the case for other apps such as Netflix, YouTube, etc. As it is only a 1080p device, any 4K content must be transcoded to 1080p. This will require you to have a reasonably performant server, or otherwise stick with content that is already 1080p rather than 4K. You will also need to avoid any graphical subtitles as they will also need transcoding and burning into the video. Stick with text based subs. Finally, best to avoid TrueHD and DTS audio tracks as they are also not likely to be supported and will need some conversion, though less intensive than video conversion. The points regarding subtitles and audio tracks is actually true for all recent LG models, including your 43QNED87A6D as even higher spec units still need conversion on the server for these audio and subtitle formats.

Hey, The 43QNED87A6D seems much more reliable and the whole emby app experience is much more responsive. The app on my daughters TV is really slow and lags even moving around to select a film.

Does it play OK on the 43QNED87A6D? If not, can you post any ffmpeg logs from the server for a test on that TV? What are the server specs? When we understand that better, then we can review if there are any options to improve playback. Thanks

The plugin works fine, but when I use an Emby dark theme, the layout does not match and is hard to read the tabs etc.

@digitalironydid you have time to look at the logfiles and did you find anything useful?

The main TV in our lounge is a 43QNED87A6D. Do you have any settings you can suggest changing on the server or emby app on my daughters TV to test? Thank you

I've been able to deduce on Windows client app, this happens, but not on ios or on my web browser on windows. Why would this be?

So, I've been able to deduce that it ONLY does this with videos that are 15 minutes or longer. How do I fix this?

When I try to watch a youtube video, not shorts, my Emby client gets taken over by random YouTube ads instead of playing the video. Shorts work as intended. I can't seem to figure out how to play the actual YT video. Like, if I try to play another video from my library, it plays the audio from the local video over the youtube ad. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

It depends on where you want to put them, as they could be in both movies or TV series. Pretty sure the Tex Avery are under MGM for TV series https://thetvdb.com/series/mgm-cartoons MGM Cartoons {tvdb-241901}. Looney Tunes https://thetvdb.com/series/looney-tunes Looney Tunes {tvdb-72514] The layout is done by year and episode as they were released as shorts by year. You'd want to use tools like Rename my TV Series and make sure that the content is right. I tried to have Looney Tunes in Movies and it just made a mess of things and caused a LOT of headaches for myself. It's far easier to have them in TV series in my experience. I only have the actual movies in the movies directory now, but they are also copied in the tv series because of OCD for completion, eg Looney Tunes - 1936x06 - Alpine Antics I personally have the Tex Avery in TV series library. using your file as an example this is the path I have TV\MGM Cartoons {tvdb-241901}\MGM Cartoons - 1949x02 - Bad Luck Blackie I did the same with Disney Shorts. Hope this helps.

One more thing, to outside from home network. Did You changed external default port? I using non standard port for Emby as crackers trying usually standard ports. In my setup, Emby -> Opnsense NGINX Reverse Proxy different port and specific domain name. No Cloudflare (had playback issues). Also, not sure, of course, but I not using word Emby in domain name. Opnsense also have Geoblock. Using Emby around 5 years, never had problems.

What are the contents of the 127 hours directory?

So i'm switching my DDNS to Cloudflare DNS but it will take some to make a how to: # add this: after return 444; 444 = drop connection with nginx. if your users can't connect, then remove it

Hi, there’s currently no way to control this but it’s something we need to add. Thanks.

Happy to post on github it just wasn't letting me open an issue yesterday, will try again shortly and yes, my library is rather large, been using Emby since it was just 2 letters lol collected a lot of Media in that 15yrs.

I haven't seen much on this but, as we know most cartoons are known based on series, season and individual episodes. However, I have alot of older cartoons, like Looney Tunes, Tex Avery and Droopy in which these were shown as theatrical shorts rather than episodes, so apparently TMDB is best over TVDB for these. Would it work to create a separate movie library to put the shorts into? Like for instance I already have a Movie library for feature length films, but now need to create another 'Movie' based library for the cartoon shorts, and would rather put it under Animation I suppose with mixed content so I could have all of the cartoons in one place. So something like this: \Movies\Tex Avery Collection\Bad Luck Blackie (1949).mkv Emby should be able to scrape this with TMDB and display correctly in the library. I believe alot of the Looney Tunes shorts should be done this was as well rather than forcing a season/episode layout that won't come out correctly. The Three Stooges are like this too, though there is a season/episode format with TVDB, they were also originally released as individual movie shorts and should probably be renamed that way similar to the cartoons. Does this sound about right? How about those that have done these particular shows? I have alot of LT and Tex cartoons I have yet to rip from my discs because of figuring out the file structure for these.

I also have a problem with duplicates of the same video. If I delete one then it deletes everything in the folder. Just want to delete the second copy. Anybody know how to do that?

But if it happens again, I'll try checking the log and sending it.

Luke It sounds a bit strange; the problems actually disappeared and I removed Emby from the Windows Store yesterday. I downloaded it again today to record a video of the issue I'd been having, but it didn't happen today.

EmbyVision Credits 1.0.0.2 Update I have updated EmbyVision Credits to version 1.0.0.2 to address an issue where Emby could remove credits markers during library scans, refreshes, or other library operations. The main focus of this update is making credits detection more persistent and preventing unnecessary re-detection of episodes that have already been processed. The update adds improved marker recovery, better backup and restore handling, and the ability to reuse existing credits information when available. It also improves handling of credits information already present in media files. The goal is simple: once EmbyVision Credits has successfully detected the credits for an episode, it should not need to repeatedly scan and process that episode just because Emby performed a library operation. This release is primarily a reliability and persistence update rather than a major change to the detection engines. The new plugin release is on GitHub at my repository. https://github.com/encryptedcity/EmbyVision-Credits/releases/tag/v1.0.0.2

Update V8 — Early testing is looking very promising! The issues I was tracking down are fixed, and it ran stably overnight, which is right where it used to fail. I'll keep testing for at least a week just in case any other bugs pop up, and then I'll upload the plugin for beta testing. I'll post another update once it's ready. Thanks for all the interest so far!

Are these TV's both the same model (32LR60006LA)? If so, they are 32" and only 1080/FHD displays, they can't natively play 4K content. That means that any 4K media will need to be transcoded. Whether that is successful depends on how capable your server is. What hardware and specs is your server running on? We might need to adjust something to ensure that it never tries to DirectPlay 4K on these models and goes straight to transcoding, but regardless, if your server is not capable of transcoding 4K content down to 1080p fast enough then you will still struggle with playback.
