And the https trick doesn’t work

So, i'm running Emby server on my DS414 on the latest 7.1 update available and everything seems to be working amazingly for the most part. The issue is basically that real time monitoring on my library folders doesn't seem to be working. I'm running the latest non beta version of emby server 4.10.1.0 but the same behaviour with real time monitoring was happening on the previous 4.9.5.0. everything seems to be set up the right way: - RTM enabled on my libraries - i have the script running on startup setting increased inotify values: /sbin/sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576 /sbin/sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_instances=4096 and checking the values from ssh returns what was set: root@DiskStation:~# cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances 4096 root@DiskStation:~# cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches 1048576 - google suggested running this commad to check which processes are actually using inotify and it doesn't seem that emby is actually using it: admin@DiskStation:~$ sudo find /proc/*/fd -lname 'anon_inode:inotify' 2>/dev/null | cut -d/ -f3 | xargs -I '{}' ps -p '{}' -o pid,comm PID COMMAND 1 systemd PID COMMAND 10947 Plex Media Serv PID COMMAND 13053 synoindexscand PID COMMAND 15712 session_watcher PID COMMAND 1850 dbus-daemon PID COMMAND 1861 dbus-daemon PID COMMAND 1988 syslog-ng PID COMMAND 2114 systemd-udevd PID COMMAND 2177 agetty PID COMMAND 2786 synobackupd PID COMMAND 2926 synoscheduled PID COMMAND 6164 avahi-daemon PID COMMAND 6888 synocrond PID COMMAND 8137 crond - logs suggest Emby is watching my media folders: 2026-10-07 16:36:41.396 Info LibraryMonitor: Watching directory with new FileSystemWatcher for /volume1/video/film for item 4 2026-10-07 16:36:48.539 Info LibraryMonitor: Watching directory with new FileSystemWatcher for /volume1/video/serie tv for item 6007 - the emby user have read/write permission on the folders and i'm pretty sure they're set correctly since it can write metadata and .jpg files to every movie folder just fine. - Plex is able to update its library with no issue as sson as a new file is added. - with a manual or scheduled library scan Emby picks up the new files with no issues. yet Emby doesn't want to pick new files when added either automatically by radarr or manually by me. log attached was taken on a fresh start of the emby server after a reboot of the host nas and after coping a new .mkv file to one of the monitored folders. any help would be greatly appreciated. embyserver.txt

A lot of CDs still suffer from heavy loudness, so most of the time RG is used to reduce volume rather than raise it. However, wouldn't it be possible to simulate going past 1.0 by blanket reducing the volume ahead of time? I wouldn't think you'd want this as the default, but you could add an option for it for those who want it. Could also just be slated as a future enhancement if requested.

What about Windows?

Hi. Exactly what app? What version?

Web browser audio players don’t natively support it. We can only simulate it with programmatic volume adjustments, but that doesn’t let you go past 1.0. The same currently goes for the player we use on Android, exoplayer. I’ve seen other apps using this same sort of technique. Without being able to go past 1.0 it’s not a full implementation but it seems like many are ok with it.

Since about a week ago. If I add a new TV series to emby, the scanner does not add it. If I add a new Movie the scanner adds it If I add a new Season to an existing TV series, the scanner adds the season and episodes New episodes added to any existing TV series are added example: I added Tracker season 04 to the Tracker directory and the new episode was added I added WandaVision (2021) [tvdbid-362392] WandaVision (2021) Season 01 All episodes The scanner did not add the series This is happening with all new series I try to add All media files and directories have 777 permission 11th Gen Intel 6 core i5-11500 @ 2.70GHz 32gb Ram Intel Arc A380 Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (apt upgrade) Kernel 7.0.0-38-generic 512gb available memory on emby HD partition 25% available memory on Media HD fs.inotify.max_queued_events=16384 fs.inotify.max_user_instances=16384 fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576 4733 WATCHES TOTAL COUNT No programs except Docker and Emby installed Docker version 29.8.2, build 7fc2dff Emby Version 4.10.1.0 Emby Premiere Subscription The TVDB plugin installed

@SamES I'm having the exact same issue on my Fire TV Stick 4K Select. Emby was working normally for me until October 6, then suddenly started showing “Unable to Reach Server.” Every other device in my house can still connect to my Emby server. I also tested Silk on the same 4K Select and http://192.168.1.80:8096 works perfectly — I can log in and access my library. Only the Emby Vega app fails to connect. I've already cleared the app data/cache, restarted the stick, forgotten/reconnected Wi-Fi, manually entered the server IP/port, tried Emby Connect, and removed the device from the Emby Server device list. Since it was working before October 6 and then suddenly stopped, this seems to line up with the other reports here. Please let me know if you need any logs or testing from my 4K Select. I'm also running Emby 0.1.4.

VPN Nutze ich nicht!

Great stuff. Just to clarify, when you say a new version will be available soon, do you mean an update to the Emby app on the Fire TV/Vega OS, rather than an Emby Server update?

Fire TV Stick 4K Select – Emby unable to reach local server on Vega OS Emby was working normally on my Fire TV Stick 4K Select running Vega OS, but suddenly stopped working. The Emby app now says “Unable to Reach Server.” My Emby server is running locally at 192.168.1.80:8096. Every other device in my home can still connect to it normally. I have already tried: Restarting the Fire TV Stick Clearing Emby cache and data Forgetting and reconnecting Wi-Fi Manually entering the server IP and port Emby Connect Removing the Fire TV device from the Emby server and reconnecting The important test is that the web browser on the SAME Fire TV Stick 4K Select can open http://192.168.1.80:8096, log into Emby, and access my library successfully. Therefore the Fire TV Stick has working LAN connectivity to the Emby server, but the Emby app on Vega cannot reach the exact same server. This was working normally only several hours before the problem started. Could you please investigate whether there is currently an issue with the Emby Cloud App Streaming/Cloud Stream environment on Vega OS?

@Bradum could you enable debug logging - server / settings / logs - settings and set it to Yes for next test and we can increase the logs retention: whilst the server is shutdown, edit this file to change the logs retention period to 7 days from 3 C:\Users\brady\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\config\system.xml The line to edit is <LogFileRetentionDays>3</LogFileRetentionDays> Save and restart the server and please could you send me this files by private message C:\Users\brady\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\config\system.xml C:\Users\brady\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\data\wan.dat C:\Users\brady\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\data\device.txt Does this web site when accessed within your own network https://canyouseeme.org and specifying your public port give OK success result? Lets have a look at these and can do more tests after

Any timescale on Web and Android?

Agreed, but the streamer has support for it though and I have used it for AV1:s without a hitch. Just wanted to highlight that the Shield doesnt support it at all. /N

@LukeEmby is in my Podman stack now and the permissions are set and backups are now completing. I however am still having the app for the TV itermittenly freeze for a second or two x amount of time after starting to watch anything and continue til I restart the TV app. embyserver.txtffmpeg-remux-2d12592c-876d-461d-ac18-1b65be22618a_1.txtffmpeg-transcode-9032ba30-cb83-4640-8750-63bc204b861b_1.txthardware_detection-63926950025.txt

I was assuming that didn't matter.

Any ideas what might be going on here? Happy to give you access to the server if needed.

On google tv app, how can I make the spotlight be full screen? I don’t see the option anywhere in settings.

Are you using a vpn?

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Hi, we’ll take a look at it. Thanks.

OK, I've been able to reproduce this issue. If possible, you should be able to connect to your server via https, otherwise a new version will be available soon. Thanks
