What about the problem i have with memory usage rising with only a scheduled media library scan freeing that memory again? It seems almost the opposite of the others as a library scan actually frees the memory instead of using more. It's not limited to transcoding but that does seem to cause most of the memory "leak".

Reading from Emby's cache would be impossible as there's no way to know where precisely the images are stored by Emby and what they are called. The plugin only reacts and draws on what Emby hands over to it, basically Emby is in charge of what is happening. Disk access with the plugin is mostly up to how Emby hands over the poster. If a new poster has to be drawn, because someone browses the library, the disk should only wake in case Emby doesn't already have the drawn image. Two things that would wake the HDDs in your scenario. Posters haven't been drawn yet, then Emby it self will have to access to artwork for the videos on the HDDs. You use custom icons for EmbyIcons that are placed on the HDD. Many versions ago i tried making a scheduled task that could "warm up the cache" for Emby and EmbyIcons by going through all libraries and scanning for anything that wasn't already in the cache and then draw the posters. Maybe i could add something like that back. How ever, i never added it because it was a heavy operation that depending on the library sizes could take a long time.

Same for me too. Just a spinning circle

Your help on this helped me a lot in setting and preparing the case for the development team. Greatly appreciated The issue is in the queue for extensive development time to be available. I have been running tests using stubs media files based on user databases - users who encountered the issue. In my tests, these large databases do cause OOM crashes on NAS servers with limited memory. A test on ubuntu laptop with repeated scans is not showing a serious issue - memory usage reaching only 1Gb RSS after a month of continuous scanning. The platforms I have for testing with the stubs media at the moment are limited to Windows, Synology and Ubuntu.

Update : My test instance metadata were apparently not as clean as I thought, I regenerated them and I got chapters back on the same movie. I know now because I found some movies with chapters. Forget my previous post and thanks @kandiman

Thanks for a great plugin. I have an issue I was wondering if it's possible to fix. I have this enabled for all of my libraries so Emby clients can read from the SSD drive where I have Emby Server installed without waking my HDD array while browsing/searching etc while still keeping images in each of the media folders: With the EmbyIcons plugin enabled, searching/browsing wakes my drives: it reads the original images stored on my HDD array instead of the cached copies in the server's metadata folder on my SSD (Emby's "Cache images" library option keeps them in `/config/metadata/library/…/imagecache/`) as far as I can tell. Would it be possible to add an option to read all images from the server's cached metadata folder instead? Not sure if it's possible, but thought I'd ask, as it would stop drives from spinning up whenever I search for something that isn't already cached Running: Emby 4.10.1.0 in a docker container on Unraid, EmbyIcons 5.61.0.0

This has been happening for a while for me now, ive waited a few Emby Windows updates to happen to see if it disappers, but hasnt, so rasing it here, Below is a good example of where its hapeing, all the broken image icons you can see. Everything else is working fine, all the guide data is coming in from XML TV net, all the channels icons are working ok.Emby Windows 2.317.2.0 Server: 4.10.1.0 Thanks for your help

On my LG and Samsung TV's chapter view is still there I can also see it on web.

Hello ^^, I am experiencing the same issue on a TCL C935 (Google TV) and a Sony XR-55A95K (Google TV) when switching between Emby for Android TV and Emby for Android. embyserver-63926356251.txt embyserver.txt hardware_detection-63926356255.txt

Readded Awards. But now just Oscar and Emmy wins from OMDB instead of unreliably, slow and throttled Wikidata API. Total wins and nominations are shown when hovering over the award section. Just replace the dll in plugin folder and restart server. Note: Just tested with Chromium based browsers. FF may be a bit misaligned. Emby.SpotlightWebMod.dll

Thank you! Loving it. It would be perfect if we could then link to a movie or series if it's in our library.

Hi there, I've just noticed in v 4.10.1.0, the "chapter" view is gone (web + Android app at least) On web, I tested it in an incognito tab and tested both of my instances in there, in 4.10.0.0, it is there, in 4.10.1.0 it's gone. Can anybody confirm that? Should not be a new feature for a "bug fix" version bump IMHO 4.10.0.0: 4.10.1.0:

A little more news, because I know several of you have been following this from the beginning. XCstream has reached the point where I’m comfortable saying that there will be a standalone public beta. What started as an Emby-focused watchdog has evolved into something much narrower and, I think, much more useful: a dedicated MPEG-TS live-stream continuity engine. The biggest change along the way has been pass-through. Earlier in development I expected hardware transcoding to be the safest default. Real-world testing changed my mind. XCstream can now remux, buffer, validate, monitor and recover a live stream while preserving the original video and audio whenever possible. A dedicated GPU is no longer required for normal operation. That is a pretty significant shift from where this project started. I also want to give a big thank-you to Nick (Fyb3roptik) and the Kernel Media Server project. Nick has been incredibly open to testing XCstream, challenging the integration, and helping turn the direct handoff model from an idea into something running against a real media server. He’s also been very supportive of XCstream continuing as an independent project, which I genuinely appreciate. That work helped prove something important: XCstream does not need to own the media server. A media server can simply select the source and hand it to XCstream at tune time. From there, the responsibilities become very clean: Media server: users, lineup, EPG, scheduling, DVR and playback XCstream: source connection, buffering, validation, outage containment, recovery and MPEG-TS continuity That model is now working, and I think it creates a very interesting opportunity for Emby as well. Rather than requiring an Emby-specific plugin or asking Emby to take responsibility for unreliable upstream IPTV behavior, Emby could choose the source at tune time and hand it directly to XCstream. XCstream would return one stable MPEG-TS session while Emby continues doing what it already does best. So I’d like to extend an open invitation to @Luke, @ebrand the Emby team: if that architecture is interesting to you, I’d genuinely like to work together on a native direct integration. To be clear, XCstream will also remain usable independently. Nobody will need to wait for a media-server integration in order to use it. The original goal of this thread hasn’t changed: A bad IPTV source should not automatically mean a failed playback session or a ruined recording. What has changed is how much simpler the answer has become. Keep the original media when it’s good. Intervene only when it isn’t. Keep the session alive. Let the media server be the media server. That’s where XCstream is heading. And yes—I’m looking forward to finally getting this into some of your hands.

HI, the improvements are for the web app. Stay tuned for improvements in other apps.

The changelog for 4.10.1.0 mentions improvements for the spotlight, but i don't see any difference. Does the app need to be updated for it to take effect? I'm on 2.0.9 (1)

Server administrator has configured device access and has not granted access to your apple tv device: Device Access

Hello! I have recently obtained an XSX and I am curious about the codec/profile support. Trying to replace it as my main streamer over my aging 2015 Shield Pro. I've seen some chatter online regarding Dolby Vision is not supported for Blu-rays but I don't know if that extends to streaming movies/tv shows? I haven't seen much regarding DTS:X/TrueHD audio. Keen to know if anyone else has investigated this themselves! Regards, snrgarb. edit: added note about audio too!

On my AppleTV tonight I was able to verify using a PIN from Emby connect, however, I then am prompted to sign in followed by an error message. server Administrator says they’ve never seen this issue. internet connection is great, no issues using other streamers on this tv

The 128 setting is using a load less memory at startup and for the first 6 hours...... Is there a performance hit with this expected as I went from 512 - 128.

I take it back! Remote connections are failing again... The server is running on ports 8080 and 8096, both forwarded at my router. I disabled the VPN even though it hadn't been an issue after I enabled the split tunneling. As I'm typing this, I'm streaming to another screen over the local network, so the server is running and the system has connectivity out. I'm at a loss.

@SamES

It appears I may have been wrong. Things seem ok search wise.
